Then he 5 ft steps back and replies to the barbarian's attack with his longspear . Luckily for the green kobold he misses him.
Oozulla loaded her crossbow . She decided that it will be to useless to shot, so she moved one step forward and started to whisper ancient words of terror, trying to plant a seed of fear into mite's head.
The spells effectively targets the Mite leader. He is frightened by Oozulla.
Szzlax is barely able to avoid the Tick's powerful bite.
Following the mites descent with a sadistic gaze Yighuk gives a sharp, barking laugh when he can hear it strike the ground. Spinning he sees the leader is now on foot and moves to engage.
"Your tribe is dead ugly king! Surrender and we'll keep you alive as a trophy for our clan." Yiguk taunts in draconic.
Although frightened the chief's longspear hits Yighuk for 6 damage
Yighuk instead is able to hit him for 1 damage

Then he also screams:
"Avenge us Whip-Tail!"
said Oozulla, but she stepped forward and touched Szzlax sending some of her shadow to meet his and recover his wounds.
MAP
As the oversized bug falls to the ground Szzlax steps up to the chief to help finish him off.

Oozulla moves and use her healing hex to cure her slave of 6 hit points.

You all can hear a sound, coming from the chasm, as something breaking bones.. maybe eating them...
Being the only one in position and able to see the scene, Mikmek reports:
"It's the Whip-tail! It's eating the body of the fallen mite!"
"Feed it that other one while we deal with the chief." Yighuk calls back.
Taking a step forward to begin flanking the mite Yighuk attacks.

Map updated (missing Oozulla's last movement)
Mikmek reports you that into the Chasm the Whip-tail continue feasting on the first fallen mite.
Hissing in appreciation when he feels the shadow of Oozullas patron fall across him Yighuk advances with renewed vigor.
After years of training with his tribe mates, group tactics come naturally. Keeping his shield at the ready and his eye on the opponents spear he advances to draw in the attack and then strikes.
The slash misses but he hopes it's enough to give Szzlax an opening.
"Mikmek, fall back once Szzlax strikes!" he calls out to the endangered scout.
Being no shaken anymore, the Mite's leader reacts to Yighuk advancement. The longspear piece throw Yighuk's high defense, dealing him 2 damage
Sszlax grips his weapon tight, and snarls at the mite leader who has all but avoided his attacks. He runs after the leader to deliver, what he hopes, is the final blow.
Szzlax is finally able to smash against the Mite leader, dealing him 7 damage. He is visibly wounded but not yet defeated.
Ryzztyl thinks about recovering the idol, but seeing his mates still fighting choose instead to follow Yighuk in case he should need some healing form the wand, and tries to jolt the enemy once again
but he miss the target.
Mikmek 5ft steps into a better position and then attacks the Mite with his natural attacks. Both his claws hit the enemy for 2 & 1 damage, but not his bite. The enemy mite is finally knocked unconscious.
As soon as the mite falls unconscious, Szzlax feels his supernatural doom fading away and is not shaken anymore.
While looking around in the room, you also notice that under the table there is a hidden bag.
Personally, she took a divine statue of Old Sharptooth and got a big bag from under the table.
As soon as Oozulla touches the sacred idol, something strange happens:
A greater shadow resembling the Mighty Old Shaptooth emerges from the Idol.
A pulse of dark energy comes from the shadow, affecting all the presents and going throw all the lair.
Oozulla's slave is knocked prone, but still alive.
You hear a sound of some rocks smashing the giant centipede into the chasm, while all the bodies of the fallen mite starts melting on the ground, leaving behind them only their bones and their gear.
Meanwhile all the kobolds in the room are instead enforced by the energy, but in the meantime you all are compelled to kneel to the divine figure.
The shadow speaks with a powerful voice
"I felt the touch of mine legacy! Finally, after all this centuries, I can now fulfill mine revenge!
Rise! Mine chosen ones, 'cause you four are mine legacy, rise and embrace the glory that is your birthright!"
Yighuk turns just in time to see the divine energy of the shadowy being blast outward, passing through him but leaving something behind. The kobolds eyes open wide and he gasps audibly as his mind frantically tries to process everything that is happening.
The destruction of his foes bodies barely registers upon his consciousness as his focus turns inward. His body is alive with the cold electricity of the shadows power as it infuses every bit of his being. His body is fortified and quickened while his mind feels as if a veil that has long covered it is now torn, if only a bit. Even the small shafts of light spilling in stagger him with insight and possibility.
Before he can begin to grasp any of this the warrior feels the presence of the shadow crush him down to his knee. When it's voice comes to him it's as if all the pieces within him fall into place. He rises and remembers who he was and who he now is, Yighukiskar, warrior of the Sootscale and chosen Champion of Old Sharptooth.
Rising his gaze passes over his fellows, now bound together by more than even tribal bonds and then looks upon the Great Shadow.
"We are yours to command Great One! Speak your will and see it done!"
The shadow looks at the black fighter, and then to all the others before saying something else:
"You are mine first champion, Yig-huk-iskar, yet I'm not completely free now.
Your presence, mine legacy, awake me from mine long time sleep, yet not all mine power is free to unleash mine vengeance.
I can only manifest my power to you throw this shadow form now.
You, mine daughter, mistress of Shadows, you broke the first seal, but four others are left.
One for every color of mine scales. In 5 seals they tried to trap me, but not all of mine divine power could be trapped, and so I made mine plans for the days of mine Revenge, and this is the first step.
Inside the idol are the black scales of mine first body. But you will need to recover the others four: the reds, the blues, the greens and the whites. Breaking all the 5 seals will finally unleash mine fury.
I blessed you with a spark of mine divinity, but you will need more power to fulfill mine will. I choose you four, since your birth, throw the realm of dreams, throw the bonds of blood, but now mine connection is fading away, ask your questions mortal children, before it's too late..."
"Where can we find these other seals oh Great Shadow? Tell us of the arrogant fools who would seek to subvert your divine will."
"The seals are all near. You will find them. In the centuries I've made them move and came close each other. Through prophecies and dreams I've inspired mad and fools. About the ones who trapped me, they were at the orders of the Green Queen, the Fey who also tried to became a goddess too. The time will come for you to strike Her, but for now you will have to face hers agents. They will try to stop you and kill the dragon kin."
Szzlax takes in the scene unsure of the whole thing until the shadowy thing talks about the enemies killing the dragon kin at which Szzlax responds "Szzlax smash any who want fight our tribe!"
With a malicious smile the shadow replies to the barbarian:
"Indeed Szzlax, you are the guardian of mine kin, blessed in strength, to show all our enemies that there is no future for those who dare to threat Us!"
Oozulla lowered her head, bowing to great power.
"I felt your shadow, Old Dragon, since my birth and I will carry a spark of your divinity high, for your shadow to fall upon another heads. Those heads will either bow to your might or lose bodies attached."
Considering a moment Yighukiskar asks, "Great Shadow another tribe has come to this land and claims to follow you. Do they possess one of these seals? How will we know the seals when we see them?"
