There were no more words. The final battle began. Longstrider blew into a large horn to signal the kobolds to move. Yorik gave a hearty warcry as he and the other kobolds, equipped with war darts and shields, charged forward. Alongside them was the giant crocodile and your team. Almost immediately the troglodytes targeted the crocodile, firing their ballista bolts right at him. Fortunately the trogs were not familiar with the weapon and most missed, and those that didn’t ended up hitting the wooden armor. “Don’t get cocky! Dere shots are whiffing cuz we’re still outta range! Shits gunna get intense when we get closah!” Yorik roared. As he shouted the trogs started dividing their shots between the giant crocodile and the kobolds. They got lucky a few times and some of the kobolds were killed by the balistas, but were encouraged to continue onwards. “No turnin back! Dis is a fight get yer home! Fer yer people! And fer yer pride!” Finally after a little under two grueling minutes of running under cover, the army was about five hundred feet closer. Yorik’s group split off from the giant crocodile to further divide their attention, making a storm towards the gate. The giant crocodile charged forward however, it’s rider shouting something over the chaos. “He says he’s going to get us to the passage!” Pylia translates for you. “But we have to be quick if we don’t want them to notice!” And finally it was the moment of truth. Three hundred feet closer and you were getting close to the passage. By now the crocodile was within optimal range of the balistas, and it was only due to good luck that the crocodile has only taken minor damage. The kobold shouted something and started moving away. “He’s going to distract the defenders for us, let’s move!” [hider=Rolls and Info] Shortfang (28/28) | Syfr (1/1) Buddy (31/31) Pylia (24/24) Sylvia (21/21) Roll for perception please!
