Editing Menace Under Otari (section)

=== Kobolds, Kobold, and More Kobolds ===
Jerrick and the rest of the part leave to inspect the remaining door. They can hear voices coming from behind the door. Jerrick presses his ear to the door to try and get a better idea of what is going on. Meanwhile Spike is very curious about the pull lever in the chamber, and throwing caution to the wind, cranks it down. Jerrick steps back as the door begins to rise in front of him. Thankfully, the now revealed Kobolds are too busy bickering to notice our heroes.

Our party quietly file into the large room with columns and stairs that lead to a raised section. They take up positions while staying hidden in the shadows. Jerrick gestures to his party that he will begin combat by drawing his blade and looks to them for Approval. Rhus nods and the others look at each other and ultimately nod as well. Jerrick strikes one of the Kobolds dead in the middle of their conversation and gestures the other Kobolds are next. The Kobolds struggle to grab their weapons as they are taken out one by one by our heroes. One of the Kobolds was about to fling a stone from his sling at Jerrick, but Cheesers put everything he had into taking down the Kobold. After the Kobold ceased to struggle and death claimed them, Cheesers fell apart. His skull rolled until it stopped, having made contact with Jerrick's boot. Jerrick gently picked up the skull and handed it to Spike, who began to sob. Jerrick turned away to hide the single tear from his eye and said stoically "T'was a good rat".

The click heard earlier was the result of the party unwittingly disabling a large trap. This had caused the Kobolds to argue about what could have gone wrong with their machine, giving our heroes the advantage in the fight. After the Kobolds have been dispatched, our heroes take a moment to catch their breath. At the top of the raised section of the room, the entrance to a long spiral stairway can be seen. It leads down and into the darkness. As they continue forward, Spike feels a tingle in their felt that might indicate a demonic presence.<blockquote>-End of Log</blockquote>
