Greenest in Flames

Mogguth's axe finds its target and slices deep into the creature's neck. Before the thing can even react it falls to the ground unconscious. Tayleron buries another arrow into the back of the building, much to the delight of his enemies.

With Triana down the Cultist, arrow still protruding from his gut, turns his attention towards the ranger. "Get that one!" he yells to his companion as they both rush forward towards Tayleron. Trying his best to fend of his attackers they none the less get their blades through his defenses, slashing him several times, before he falls backwards onto the ground.

Mogguth's attacker, much less effective without his partner to work with, makes a lame attempt at an attack which the dwarf easily knocks aside.

Wasting no time after being revived Triana cuts down one of the two remaining kobolds. Seeing that they're now on even terms the Cultist and the last Kobold turn and start to run for their lives, screaming warnings of "intruders" as they do.

The cultist doesn't stand a chance, Triana's rapier running the man through with ease. The man falls to the ground in heap, dead. The last remaining kobold turns the corner and races away. The hooping and hollering that you had heard earlier comes to a sudden stop.

As Mogguth struggles with Tayleron a small slide in the door opens and someone peers out. "More townsfolk!" someone yells as the door is quickly opened. A few of the panicked villagers break to run, but a calm voice from within the building convinces them that it's safer inside. With some help Tayleron is dragged in and unceremoniously dropped to the floor as several of the villagers rush to close and bar the door.

Inside are dozens of panicked townsfolk, some or cowering in whatever cover they can find, while others stomp out torches that are being thrown through the windows. A single calm figure stands in the middle of the room and walks towards you.

"I am Eadyan Falconmoon, a priest of this temple" he looks down at the ranger sprawled along the floor and hands Mogguth a small vial of red liquid. "My last one. Hopefully it will provide your friend the strength needed to provide the help that you so kindly offered."

Just then a large crash comes from the front of the building as the large doors are rammed from the outside. Shaking his head Eadyan asks, "So what's the plan? And what can I do to help?"

Eadyan looks about the church, doing a quick count, before turning his attention back to the group. "Appears that we have roughly thirty townspeople... Thirty three, now that you've joined us." he says as he watches Mogguth administer the potion to Tayleron.

"That ought to do him nicely. He should be fully conscious in moments."

"As far as getting to the keep, I'm afraid that the only people in this temple capable of handling weapons are the three of you. What these people do have in abundance, however, is fear."

A loud crack emanates throughout the structure as the front door is rammed a second time. "I don't think it will take much provoking to get them to run, should a clear path to the keep exist"
