The two charge ahead, daring anyone to get between them and their destination, and considering the fact that one is simply enormous and the other is riding upon the back of a Howler, few actually do wish to get in the way. Those that do, however, choose to do so in great number.<br/><br/>A group of four lithe, dark-coated canine creatures leap out of the undergrowth when only fifteen feet away, staying low in their stances and each using both hands to hold a fairly heavy looking hammer with a painful looking point. Likewise, they are all clad in chainmail. THeir eyes gleam with vicious intelligence, and the leader barks out a command:<br/><br/>"ATTACK!"<br/><br/>And then, four more rise up from each side, around 25 feet away in small clusters. They are wearing armour formed from heavy, riveted bands of iron, and seem to have handfuls of weighted darts, all with painful looking barbs at the end of their sharp pins.<br/><br/>(I rolled Initiative to save time. The order is Khait, Fiendish Kobolds, Thud. Yes, Kobolds were originally doglike.)
