"Spend it well friend, and keep my cart!" shouts Bork as he flees the market, heading down the same alley as Gudmund and his hen. As they round the corner, they almost stumble into the others, who had much the same idea, all trying to flee for the less-used Waterfall Gate.
The Vadgelmir River is the lifeblood of the city and its proof against siege. Rising from a wellspring within the mountain, it emerges at the Inner Keep and flows through a deep canal which cuts across the plateau the city is built upon. It is crossed by scores of bridges at every road and then pours off the plateau's edge in a sparkling waterfall where the city comes at at last to the Cliffs of Aurgelmir. Not used for commerce, the Waterfall Gate allows access to the cliff's fortifications, which overlook the deepwater harbor below.
Hild Gamlidottir, wearing her father's sword and brandishing her staff, flees down the side alley as the dragon swoops over the Worldtree Plaza. She pauses in the alley to help Sigurd, who struggles with a wounded leg as he tries to carry the young tow-headed child in his arms. "Shhh, Ylves... it will be okay," he tells the child, gritting through the pain. "To the Waterfall Gate - I have the key to the sally port," he tells Hild between ragged breaths.
The eight of you are more or less straggling together from alley to alley, gathered by fate or happenstance, when you are spotted by a group of eight kobolds as you pass a side street. A haphazard volley of arrows flies after you as the small lizardmen squeal and hiss in excitement, beginning to give chase.
Each of you make a Reflex Savings Throw (which at this point is equivalent to a player-facing attack roll). This is a 1d20, plus your Agility Modifier. Your goal is to roll 8 or higher. If you fail, take 1d4 damage as you are struck by a kobold arrow. If that kills you, you go down and have last words as it is stuck in a vital organ.
Then roleplay your actions and interactions.
