The Kobolds - Part 2

I surveyed the scene. Rhogan had dispatched the last enemy over the other side of the trench and so I turned the corner and seeing a kobold on the other side of a portcullis threw a magic missile at him. It seemed to hit and he stumbled. the halfling, (Ozric that's it), Ozric charged forward slipping past the bars and just as he approached him the kobold fell to the ground.
He stepped over to a lever and pulled it up and there was a grating sound and the portcullis raised. The dwarf meanwhile had wandered off towards a room off the main corridor with the trench. Caspian stepped forward to the now prone kobold by Ozric and attempted to patch him up but obviously pressed in the wrong spot as blood squirted out splattering his shoes as the kobold breathed its last. He then stepped on past Ozric.

Rhogan strode along the corridor passing the cleric and rogue and stepped out of sight round a corner. Then running along I passed even Rhogan and moved into a large room with 4 alcoves on the wall with the passage I left and and 4 on the opposite side, the nearest holding a suit of armour and then deftly as I saw my path into the nearest alcove on this wall blocked by a suit of armour stepped behind the towering paladin. Then suddenly I heard a 'tink' and 'squitgd' and green goo seemed to splatter Rhogan's feet. slowly the rest of our party filtered out into the room and Vistra the dwarf remained behind Rhogan inside the passage.

I stepped forward towards the four kobold figures but as I did the suit of armour to my left fired a dart at me which caught in my robes. I saw a stone figurine on a pedastal behind two of the kobolds and winked at it conjuring the sound of it falling onto the floor behind. All the kobolds turned towards the sound. The slinger seeing nothing was a miss twirled met my gaze and fired a pellet from his sling which impacted the coffin by the side of me I called back to Ozric "NOW! Nows your chance!".
He practically flew across the room and as he passed the suit of armour on the right hand side of the room a dart whizzed over his head impacting the wall opposite. He then made a mad lunge plunging his dagger into the back of the kobold in front of him who screamed turning to face him. Caspian advanced on the slinger throwing holy fire at him knocking him down. I heard sounds of grunting from behind me and as I turned I saw Rhogan struggling to free himself from the green goo.
Vistra strode forward and as a dart struck her as she stepped in line with the suit of armour, she swung a . . . a sling? firing a pellet she struck one of the spearmen who had just converged on Caspian. Ozric continued to battle the spearman he had stabbed. I strode over to Vistra and as I stepped next to her another dart 'trinked' off of her armour. I then threw a magic missile at the foe Ozric was fighting. Rhogan once again struggled against the goo as Caspian struck at the spearman still facing him after Vistra's stone distracted the other.
