'The stairway has been carved out of solid rock.  Mica flakes reflect $a dim, flickering light at the bottom of the stairs.  the flakes $sparkle and shine as you pick your way down the winding steps.  Your $soft leather boots make no sound as you move.  The light slowly grows $brighter as you decend. 'You see the source of light.  The stairway ends in a smooth rock $corridor.  Another corridor opens to your left.  Two creatures, no more $than three feet tall, stand ten paces away.  They have no hair, but are $covered with a scaly black hide.  A sharp bony crest runs up their $backs and ends in two sharp horns on their heads.  One creature hold a $short sword in its hand, and the other holds a torch.  You remember $seeing creatures like these on one of your adventures in the past. $They are Kobolds, very evil creatures that would attack you $immediately if they discovered you. \ '"Well, Laurus, are you ready to attack them?" you whisper. '"I don't know," says the trembling halfling, "They're not much $bigger than I am, but they sure look mean.  Do you really think we can $win?  They look awful tough." '"Laurus," you say, "They are mean, evil and tough.  But if we work $together, we can take them.  What do you say?" -1. If you wish to attack the kobalds -2.
