"This way, we'll show you the way." They show you which way is fastest to the keep, mostly keeping to the roads.

Further down the road, you all see a group of people dressed in purple robes with the exception of one. The villagers hide behind your group as they come into the view, "Those are the bandits! They came with those kobolds and dragon!" The adults raise their makeshift weapons for protection if you all would start a fight.
Z'ress looks to the others as she readies herself for a fight if the bandits notice them. "We seem to have two choices here. We can fight these bandits or attempt to sneak past them and continue on for the keep." She said speaking quietly as she looks back to the rest of the group, quenching her own anger at the banditss as she remembers there are children with them that could be hurt.
"I say we sneak past. I'm sure we could take them on, but if one of them sounds the alarm or there are more of them... it's too risky for the children." J'eilil tells them her opinion. "But let's find out what Reso sees before we do anything."

You can see there are groups of them but they are quite separated from each other. Each one is attending to their own matters of pillaging and destroying the village. Even if they shout to their comrades, they're too far to hear each other and cannot hear over the screams of the villagers.
You hear the roar of the dragon above you as it soars by, showering homes with its fiery breath. As it passes, you feel the wind pressure hit against you, making you falter a bit. It seems not to have noticed you as it continues to set fire to housings and people.
Z'ress nods even as she frowns slightly, knowing that the longer they stayed to make up their minds the more they would be left exposed. She will slowly turn to the adults they had helped. "How far is the keep from where we are right now if we were to head there as fast as we are able?"
Reso brushes off his sleeves. "There are groups of kobolds, but they are separated from other and focused on destroying the village. We might have a chance if we pick them off one at a time. Also the dragon is burning the village from the air."

I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Reso twitches his beak. "The groups seemed occupied with looting and pillaging. There is a chance we might be able to sneak past them. Worst case scenario, we run into one or two groups."

Z'ress nods even as sje frowns slightly, knowing that the longer they stayed to make up their minds the more they would be left exposed. She will slowly tun to the adults they had helped. "How far is the keep from where we are right now if we were to head there as fast as we are able?"
"Not too far if we just go up the hill, but it'll be quite a sprint. And we'll have to go around the back of the keep to get to the entrance."
Z'ress nods as she looks to the rest of the group to see what they think they should be doing. She will keep her staff in a combat ready stance, ready for the off chance that they end up having to fight the raiders ahead of them. "Then it seems that the most direct path would be through where these raiders are currently..."
Reso mimics a quick striking stance before looking at the rest of the room. "I think we should make a break for the keep. We can protect these folks from any kobolds."

Perhaps I could fly and scout ahead to see if there are any bandits nearby.

Reso flies back to the group. He reports what he saw to the first member of the party he sees.

J'eilil waits for an answer to Z'ress's question, eager to hear the answer and to hear what Reso found out.

"Were there any more kobolds or bandits directly in our path to the tower?" J'eill asks. "Or do you think we'll be able to sneak past them all?"
