The Kobolds rushed into the side tunnel as the trap sprung.  Success! One piece of armor down, just a few more to go.  They moved a hundred feet down the tunnel to a switch in the wall.  With a kick they released the pulley system.<br/><br/>A large stone slab fell in the main chamber, divereting the paladins path.  The only way forward was through a waist high pool of murky water.  At the bottom of the pool lay four 1hd skeletons.  They weren't a major threat.  Their only purpose was to ascertain the skills of the paladin and further wear her out.<br/><br/>Not far from the exit of the pool Keldourn waited.  He would wait for the rust monster in the put before him to take care of the rest of the paladin's gear before he swooped in for his BBEG monologue.
