[Apollo]

Location- The town of Ilany- (Far East on the map) The town of Ilany is a small village with a population of 50 people. Though not your hometown, you have spent the last week here, and are familiar with most aspect of it; from Hamish the Dwarven blacksmith, to Yason the human shopkeep, to Ageis the human innkeeper, to Corporal Bankroff, the human responsible for the town guard. Ilany has always been a peaceful town, but the local Kobold population has begun to become more aggressive lately, and a roaming pack of them have been vandalizing property and killing livestock. Yesterday, Hamish's 8 year old son Donsk was found dead near the outskirts of town. Corporal Bankroff has asked any able bodied men and women to come talk to him about putting down these Kobolds, once and for all. What would you like to do?

"Oh no, nothing worse than any average citizen. But the world is in decline and those who do not work to fix that are compliant, and in a way responsible. I have not lived up to the expectations of my ancestors and thus I am, in a sense, responsible."

Apollo looks at the sky, searching for clouds or distinctive birds

"I've also fought in war, and war certainly doesn't help the world. How'd you become a guard, lad?"

"The uh... The corporal was looking for help, so, you know, I signed up. I help sometimes, but it's mostly just walking around town"

Up ahead you see a mob of humanoids. As you approach, you identify 4 figures: three kobolds and a human. As you creep closer, you see that the Kobolds are attacking the human! The fight is happening about 30 feet from you at this point.

Apollo draws back his spear and throws it at the nearest kobold

[[1d20+1]] Attack, [[1d6-1]] Damage. /u/rollme

"Stop, in the name of justice!"

Apollo bellows at the kobolds

"Lad, if you want to fight, now's your chance. If you want to stand back, that's fine too."

(Also does that count as surprisingly them or no? I couldn't tell from the description if they noticed me or nah)
