Kyra was glad to see the monster release Orchid and Brannor, but the fact it didn't release her greatly bothered Kyra. Did the creature intend to take her hostage? It was trying her patience, but she also knew this was the worse position for her to argue from. If she could somehow get the others to rescue her, that would be great. Alas, she also has to deal with the kobolds, who'll no doubt try to kill her regardless if the monster was grabbing her or not. If anything, the fact the creature made it impossible for Kyra to effectively dodge might make it easier for the kobolds. Without being able to effectively use her weapon either, Kyra had no choice but to rely on her spells as she looked towards the kobolds. "Death comes for you!" She shouts as she grasps her holy symbol.

Well fortunately, Toll of the Dead doesn't require an attack roll, so hopefully a kobold gets harmed by it. Though I doubt a 2 will kill it even if they fail their save.
Try as she might, Kyra was rightfully frighten of this monster who by all accounts her her and the others under his metaphorical thumb. Fresh meat instead of corpse meat, which Kyra thought was needlessly specific. Not to mention Kyra didn't want to stay in this cave any longer than she had too: if they had to leave to go hunting or searching through this place, that's more of a chance for kobolds or other terrible creatures to find them. But it was either dealing with them, or this monster. Kyra knew which she would rather face.
Though she wouldn't get that chance as suddenly kobolds came out from hiding and launched an attack upon Orchid and Brannor. She could barely make out what was thrown at them, but no doubt it wasn't something good. Kyra faced the beast and spoke quickly. "We'll give you good meat! Help us deal with the little dragonlings and we'll get you good, tasty meats!" As she said this Kyra struggled to get her arm free as she pointed towards one of the bomb slinging kobolds. "The Evening Bell Tolls for thee!" Kyra's would force one of the kobolds to hear a Toll of Death, which hopefully might do some damage and help the others kill the attackers.

Am I able to see the kobolds from where I'm at? Also I'm guessing it'll be an action if I want to try and not be restrained anymore?
I have 22 for my initiative though I'm not sure if I can make any attacks while grappled/restrained by the monster.
Unable to escape fast enough to avoid the tendrils, Kyra ended up grappled by some sort of dark monster. She couldn't even reach for her blade as the creature started to constrict her, though not with enough force to hurt just enough to prevent her from easily moving. Kyra was about to shout for everyone to kill it when Parum tried to talk to the monster. Kyra had her doubts that this would even work but at the same time, she was not in a great position to fight if she tried to resist now. The fact the monster wasn't immediately crushing her to death at least told Kyra that there was a chance this fight could be avoided if they play their cards right.
This creature was simple, desiring only hunger. Like an animal all it wanted was meat. And if meat was what it wanted, there was plenty of fresh meat for it to eat just down the hall. "If it's meat you want, there's plenty of meat just outside of this room. The men we killed won't fight back anymore, and we made sure to take off all their hard armor so you can start eating. You can even eat these eggs now. Delicious dragon eggs. That's not something you'll have ever again." Kyra desperately hoped that offering the corpses of Cyanwrath and his minions would satisfy the beast and not make it hunger to eat the adventurers. She didn't want to threaten the creature less it attack, but hopefully it would be smart enough to realize that if it does try to eat them, they will resist and do everything in their power to kill it. Even a beast could understand that it's easier to go after fresh carrion than fight prey.

Dulga Tarata
Amane's answer would have to satisfy Dulga for now. She didn't care for his arrogance, but she wasn't going to deny his usefulness either. His powers were basically like Reina's but without her personality holding her back. Dulga still didn't like either of them, but for now they were allies. "Good enough. You and I both know that none of us stands against the prefects alone. I don't expect us to get along but we will need to work together." Shortly after Dulga spoke to Amane, Tomoe appeared and leaned against Dulga. She was surprised that the girl was even here, but Dulga wasn't going to let anyone go to waste. Using her lower arms Dulga picked up Tomoe and put her under her cloak, to carry her and use Tomoe as a human shield if Dulga ever gets attacked from behind. "You will be on Hammer Team. I need you to send Nomi with Lance Team. I have a special job for you though. I need you to tell me anything Nomi sees, if you can."
The prefects soon left after everyone arrived. Once they left Dulga addressed the group one more time. "Don't take the earpieces. They already know our abilities, I don't want them to listen in to our communication either. If you have anything to say, say so now. Won't be much time for talk once we're in." Dulga would let Ruby speak to the Lance Team and figure out how they were going to approach things. If the worse comes to worse, Dulga wants the Lance Team to be able to take care of themselves without the Hammer Team's overwatch. That being said, Dulga did turn to approach the Hammer Team and explain her expectations. "While Lance Team goes directly after the prefects I want us to secure the area. Cover any exits, flush out any traps. That being said," Dulga sighed as she looked to Amane and in particular, Donny. "Do not bring down any buildings. You can kick down a door, break a window, push a car around, smash through a wall if you need to, but I do not want any of us to bring down any building on top of the enemy and especially not on ourselves. I don't care how careful you'll be. I don't care what the Prefects do, we need to limit collateral damage."
Using her extra arms, Dulga points to Amane, Reina, and Donny. "That will be the three of your jobs. Keep the damage to a minimum, but otherwise I don't care how you disable or block off their exits. If you run into any of them meet back with the Hammer Team. If you happen to spot Kiyoki take her out with extreme prejudice. The sooner the better. The rest of us will assist Lance Team by watching their backs. While they go after any of the prefects we need to make sure nothing hits them from behind and wait for the best moments to strike. If we all try to attack at once we'll only get in each others way." Dulga then handed Tomoe a pair of earmuffs. They were cheap noise suppressing earmuffs, good enough to help protect the ears from damage caused by the sound of gunfire. Since Dulga would have to literally carry Tomoe if she lets Nomi out, Dulga just wanted to make sure Tomoe doesn't end up waking up due to her weapons.
Dulga Tarata
As one of the first to arrive, Dulga nods towards Mina, taking note that she wasn't in costume. That was her choice, but if Mina couldn't get her hero gear on in less than five minutes, she ought to rethink her outfit. An emergency hardly ever occurs at a hero's convenience. After Mina came Hitomi. Dulga didn't know much about the girl, nor didn't have much of an opinion. From what she's noticed she's dating Acion, but aside from that Dulga didn't think Hitomi was very powerful. Decent enough as a hero, but not enough for Dulga to recognize. Then Yukari showed up. Dulga had heard that Yukari was attacked by a villain, and with some digging around she learned it was by a red man with a katana. Dulga knew exactly who it was, but she hasn't approached Yukari about it. She simply has been observing them, seeing how she'd reacting to being attacked and defeated. Someone else who was attacked by villains included Reina. In Dulga's honest opinion, she didn't like the girl. Strong, yet lacks confidence in herself. She even came to the training ground in her gym uniform instead of her hero costume. Dulga hated to see potential wasted away behind doubt and weakness, especially since the girl has proven herself more than capable had has quite a support group. Dulga finds the girl's frailty inexcusable.
Ruby arrived next. Perhaps one of the few other students Dulga had a bit of respect for. Ruby faced off against Amane despite being outclassed and still gave him a hard time. And during their short time training together, Dulga got the feeling that Ruby was someone willing to push herself past her limits. That Dulga liked. However the person who came next reminded Dulga why people needed to know their limits. Mamoru was someone Dulga knew was useful by virtue of following orders, but was unreliable because they think too highly of themselves, or possibly too lowly and make unnecessary risks. Like Ruby, Mamoru was someone who was always looking to push past her limits, but Mamoru rushes blindly past the line without seeing the consequences. Dulga has no need for a shield that breaks instead of protects. Donny was the last of the students to arrive, and Dulga didn't have much of a high opinion of him either. Like Reina, he was strong, but continues to hide it away with meekness. Not to mention Dulga was quite aware of his true form and yet he still hides it. That particularly annoyed Dulga, who's own physical mutations were difficult to hide, which is why she always wore her mother's cloak. And yet this... Thing keeps hiding behind a human guise instead of accepting what he really is. Dulga dislike the idea that he might only be here at school to boost his own ego, instead of actually trying to become a hero.
And of course there was Roy. Dulga initially didn't have much issues with him, but over time she's grown to dislike him for many reasons. Impulsive, hypocritical, and hormonal. He reminded Dulga too much of the loud mouth monkeys from middle-school, and worries that his stupidity is contagious. The last student to arrive however surprised Dulga. Amane Kishimoto, from 1B. Was he such an outcast that he had to take classes with 1A now? Dulga wasn't sure what to think of him. He was strong, no doubt, and confident in himself. If he wasn't from 1B and rather antagonistic, she might even respect him. Not as if she hates him right now, but she simply sees him as she see's a deer or a rabbit; just another prey. She was genuinely curious as to why he was here though.
Once everyone arrived the lead prefect, Grayson, explained what they were going to be doing. It was simple enough: Class 1A was suppose to capture and subdue the prefects within 30 minutes. Easier said than done of course. Dulga narrowed her eyes at the prefects. Once more, she was painfully aware of how little they knew of them, whereas the prefects likely know each and everyone one of 1A's full abilities, their weaknesses and their strengths. Not to mention, while the concept of the training was easy, Dulga was also aware how difficult it really would be. Unless they can knock out each prefect, there's nothing stopping them from freeing any captured allies, and it's not as if they weren't going to be working together. Indeed, all they would need to do is just isolate themselves from 1A and they'd win by default. Even if 1A outnumbers the prefects, Dulga has no doubt that individually each prefect could handle two or even three of 1A student's.
Unless Dulga can figure out an idea to maximize their strengths. Calmly calculating, Dulga looked towards the group and began to formulate an idea. Mina and Reina were taken aside, likely to be chastised for not wearing their hero attire, so Dulga would have to fill them in later. For now Dulga had the 1A class gather together. "Huddle up. I'll keep this as simple. Our opponents are stronger than us and knows our powers We need to take advantage of our numbers and split into two groups, Lance Team and Hammer Team. Lance Team will be the skirmishers: your jobs is to move quickly and do as much damage as you can to weaken the prefects, distracting them, and generally keeping them busy while not letting yourself get taken down. Hammer Team will be our heavy hitters who will take advantage of the damage done by Lance Team to finish off the prefects. Hammer team will also secure any prefects we capture and make sure they can't free their allies."
Dulga pointed at Ruby. "Mamoru, you'll lead the Lance Team. You're one of our faster students and your quirk will help limit the mobility of the prefects when you capture them. Kasuke, Yozakura, and Akasha will also be part of Lance Team. You must be swift and prevent the prefects from getting any chances to rest or ready a counter attack. Force them into a defensive. Don't be stupid and try and and go for a mutual kill. Work as a team, take them out one at a time." Dulga then looked over to Donny, Hitomi, Roy, and eventually Reina once she comes back from being chastised. "Lance Team pursues the prefects, Hammer Team will focus on area denial. Prevent the prefects from escaping. Box them in. We'll strike and take out whoever is weakest. We will also secure any prefects we do manage to take down. Nothing stops the other prefects from saving their own, so secure them or use them as bait." Dulga knew that if she tries to be more specific about what the others needed to do, it'll just lead to ruin. No plan survives first contact, and if Dulga tells them to stick to a plan, if something goes awry things will get messy. Instead she'll just have to leave it to each student to adapt, with the team leaders formulating ideas as needed.
"While I don't know what our opponents can do, I do know at least one of them has ghost-like powers. The white haired girl name Kiyoki. Phasing through objects, possessing them, or something like that. She will be hard to pin down physically. Kasuke, Kusayangi, and Mori should focus on her. Their quirks aren't directly physical like the rest of ours so it should have a more notable affect." Finally Dulga turned to look towards Amane. She wasn't sure who's side he was on, but the fact he was standing with 1A made Dulga think he was suppose to be on their side. Or perhaps he was planted here as a traitor? Dulga wasn't sure. She didn't know enough about him to trust him to be part of the team's plans. Yet at the same time if Dulga left him as a rogue element his actions would interfere with the teams. So Dulga walked over to him with a firm but calm stance.
"Kishimoto. Are you working with us or against us?"
Kyra cursed under her breath as her arrow failed to do any damage. She would notch another before she caught the sight of strange things happening. Rocks fell from the ceiling, spooking her into seeing what made the noise. Tendrils of darkness. Kyra's voice was low, steady, but heavy with urgency. "Back up back up back up." She says to the group as she aimed towards the eggs again. They were in no condition to fight whatever guardian was here right now, but if they could destroy the eggs, they can at least escape with one objective fulfilled. With adrenaline and discipline honing her eye and steadying her hand, Kyra launched an arrow at the egg's silhouette before moving back away from the entrance in which they came, trying to put as much distance as she can between herself and whatever those tendrils are coming from.
