Editing Menace Under Otari (section)

=== The Welcoming Party ===
Point of order, Mc Cringle was replaced by Ruby

As our heroes cautiously descend the stairs, the find themselves in a room with furniture toppled over. They can hear hissing from two Kobolds who have spotted the party due to the light of their torch and the sound of their footsteps. The Kobolds are threatening our party. One is hidden behind a table, the other behind some barrels. 

Rhus springs forward and kicks the table at the Kobold hiding behind it causing him to fall backwards and hitting the wall. While the first Kobold is mildly dazed, Rhus continues to the other Kobold. Spike uses their magic to set the furniture alight while Ruby Dew launches a hail of splinters at the kobold, stabbing into him painfully while the splinters on the floor feed the flames. The Kobold scurries to get away from the spreading flames, but before he can get far is felled by Spike's crochet needles in the back.

Jerrick and Rhus flank the remaining Kobold who threatens Jerrick that him and his brothers will eat him, catching him off guard and lands a grazing blow. Using this opening Rhus bites down on the Kobold's shoulder him holding him in place. Jerrick strikes down on the Kobold, being careful not to hit Rhus. The kobold cries in pain and manages to escape Rhu's grasp and hurriedly retreats. Climbing onto some barrels and boxes. As he slips away Rhus laughs and states it looks like they will be eating him and his brothers instead. The Kobold is fleeing for their life, but fails to notice Ruby using elemental water to douse the burning furniture. Ruby turns the water onto the Kobold, who slip and falls breaking the boxes below them. The fall broke his neck and he dies. Influenced by the smell of the cooking Kobold and Rhus' mention of eating kobold, Spike takes a moment to skin and prepare the meat of the cooked Kobold for later use.
