Alyssa, seeing the ambush, immediately casts < Wall of Force > around the entire party, to block the arrows, and give them time to regroup and formulate a plan of defense.

*Crista ignored Garth's grumblings over food, they'd only been on the road for an hour, and they'd 15 more miles till reaching the Crag. The road itself turned to the right, seeming to narrow as the sides rolled off into shallow ditches. She called back to Kyle.* "Come up here with me." *But no sooner had she turned her head back forward when an arrow impaled itself into her saddle.* *From the ditches, about 30' away from the main road on each side of the party, rose up 26 kobalds, 13 in each ditch, short bows firing, arrows flying into and over the party. Another arrow wized past Crista, narrowly missing her face, while another hit Keely in her right foot.* "Defenses!!!" Aye, mage, get us cover so we can get out of here alive. *She shouted back to Alyssa.* "Alrighty then!!!", Ignitius yells, wobbling on his ugly mount, "Twenty-six barbecued kobolds, comin' right up, heheheh!!! Hi ho, Gluey, away!" Ignitius aims at a mass of kobolds (the one which Kyle and Garth aren't in), and points his finger at them. However, a jolt of his steed messes up his spell, and he curses loudly. *wild surge* A beam erupts from Ignitius' finger, and suddenly the surprised kobolds are squashed by a massive pile of cooking lard, instead of being incinerated by a fireball. The lizard-like creatures try to claw their way to the top of the fatty mass. "Oops. Heheheh..."

Tal lets fly an arrow into the now movement hampered kobolds.. the arrow lands in it's exposed throat and passes completely through to kill another..
"Heh.. have weak constitutions they do.. "

With a wave of her hand, Alyssa levitates through a 2 foot by 2 foot hole she left in the top of the protection dome.
She then, throws a fireball, igniting the lard and consuming the kobolds in flames.

*Kyle lands a solid kick to the head of one kobald, knocking it to the ground, it is dazedm but not unconscious. Two other kobalds turn towards Kyle, short bows aimed, and fire....one arrow goes astray, the second arrow hits Kyle in his upper right arm, midway between shoulder and elbow. He is also on the left side of the party.*
*Garth, on the left side of the road, is swinging his sword, and decapitates two startled kobalds.*
*Tal, being inside the Wall of Force, only manages to have his arrow bounce off of it, it does not hit any kobalds.*
*Alyssa manages to ignite the lard covered kobalds, on the right side of the road, but only manages to incinirate 10 of the 13. Three are still lard covered, but drop their short bows and start running down the ditch, away from the party. They are going North, the same way the party was headed.*
*Keely and Crista are also inside the Wall of Force, so can only stand by and watch the battle going on outside of it.*
*Iggy's old horse, becoming frightened by the fire, neighs, turns and starts wandering down the road, back towards the city of Darokin.*

Still levitated above the wall, Alyssa fires off lance of disruption at the fleeing kobolds.

Kyle grunts as the arrow hits him and attempts to grab the kobald he had just kicked down to break its neck and use it as a sheild to protect himself for a moment... Assuming he could grab the creature.

To any remaining kobolds, Garth grins and says: We've barbequed your buddies, so git outta here before we do the same to you!" Garth takes a swing or two at any remaining kobolds to illustrate his point further. D**n mages - take the fun out of a good brawl. Garth thinks to himself.

*Kyle manages to lift up the kobald, breaks its neck, and use it as a shield. However, there still remains 10 kobalds who have all turned their attention to Kyle and Garth*
*Though Garth is swinging his sword wildly, they are staying far enough out of range, after seeing two of their comrades decapitated by him so easily. All ten ready their short bows, and fire at Garth and Kyle.*

Kyle ducks down as they ready their bows and uses the dead kobald... or at least incapacitated Kobald to sheild the majority of his body from the arrows.
After the hail passes assuming he can move and his sheild works at least semi-efficiently he tosses the corpse at the nearest kobald and goes to make a powerful stunning attack to the next nearest.

Levitating still, Alyssa seeing the kobold's firing their bows on Garth and Kyle, takes careful aim, and fires lance of disruption at the attacking kobolds.
With that done, she lowers herself back down to the ground, and takes down the wall of force. So that the remaining kobolds can be dispatched.

OOC: Alyssa can read Garth's thoughts? Oh oh. She's bound to slap him now - since his mind is always in the gutter. ;D I use this to indicate thoughts.
Garth's dog sized brain considers his options - 1) stay here and get turned into swiss cheese by arrows, 2) Retreat, or 3) Charge. Garth grins and running through a hail storm of arrows, getting thwacked along the way, he charges into the mass of kobolds. "Ha ha ha ha! I warned you to git, now you're gonna die!"

*Garth comes running into the fray of kobalds just as the Lance of Disruption hits the group, seven dead kobalds are thrown on top of him, knocking him onto his arse.*
*Kyle, his arm hanging limply at his side, manages only to knock another kobald onto the ground, but it loses its short bow in the process of falling, but is still very much alive and willing to fight.*
*The remaining two kobalds, confused at the sudden death of their comrades around them, go running North, and meet with the remainder of the party that was just released from the Wall of Force.*
*Crista jumps from her horse onto the back of one as it tries to run by. Dagger in hand, she stabs into the kobald's throat and slices it easily open; blood flows out onto the creature's chest.*
*The last remaining kobald is still running.*

"Oof! Stupid hairy ugly dogs! Argh! Hey Crista! Get these things offame! Jeez, you always said I was going to the dogs." Garth struggles to get the dead kobolds off of him, while trying to maintain his dignity. (Yeah, right!)
