A Defensive Battle

The pile of corpses rattled before a first hand clenched into a fist, followed by the clattering of bony jaws, half the flesh falling off the kobold corpses with a slurping sound, slapping on the ground wetly, before the bodies stood upright.

David mentally directed them to form another layer of defence around them, creating a secondary triangle outside theirs, in groups of threes, in a countersink array, as he directed the other eleven dead kobolds to slink into the shadows.

With their two-layered triangular defence, there were barely any gaps in their defence, and the ranged attackers in the party felt a bit safer. But now was not the time to let their guard down.

Kary saw a pair of kobolds flee to the back of the room before they disappeared into a tunnel, and she clicked her tongue in annoyance.

"More trouble to deal with," she mumbled before looking back down.

"One issue at a time," she added under her breath.
