A Mighty Spell

Castille chants loudly as he continues his slow but steady approach towards the Kobold. When Kaspar's thunderstone goes off, Castille is almost phased, but seizes the opportunity instead. He let's his caution go and puts the finishing touches on his magic missile spell. The culmination of all his chants rise to a crescendo as the energy emanates form his fingertips.

If the kobold falls to the ground in pain (and oh is Kaspar hoping he does) then the half-orc will follow Castille's lead and pounce. He isn't really trying to finish the kobold off, but rather attempting to get himself in between the the vat latch and his enemy. The next step would be to kick the crossbow out of the kobold's scaly little fingers. A rapier point at the creature's neck should finish the job nicely.
