Ooc the knight is dead. The Storm Trooper reference is from Star Wars.
“Can you tell me the difference between a witch and a wizard?"
"Sure, a wizard is what they call you when they want to hire you, and a witch is what they call you when they're getting ready to run you out of town.” SunWolf replied

Sarah moves towards the serfs, careful not to seem threatening to them.
"Hey there, are you all uninjured? We can help you if you'd like," Sarah offers.
The escaped serfs make their way back cautiously. There are 3 men and three women and they are almost as scared of you as the PPA men.
What do you want to know?
They are skittish and they mumble about 'witches' when they see Thomas' fire wreathed crossbow bolts and cross themselves.
They have escaped from a closed society and the only things they know about you is what they have been told by their Lords.
Em nods at the serfs as they arrive as he starts wiping off pieces of flesh and gristle from his bat. Pulling out his mouthpiece he says, "No need for y'all to be 'fraid of us."
Thomas stops the whole 'Dark Knight' look and let's the fire spell and the Steed fade. As he steps down from his mount, he grins, saying "I think I'll be cultivating that look regularly ." His outfit once again atypical clothing (illusion), he stops a reasonable distance from the surrendered prisoners and held bind them and question them.

"Sorry for the strange appearances. Intimidating the enemy can help," Sarah says in a gentle tone. "I take it that you are trying to escape the PPA lands? Other settlements are horrified at the rumors about how they treat people."
Persuasion: 21
You calm them and they tell of how badly serfs are treated by some of the Lords (theirs specifically). They decided to run with their families "We left our children hiding back there" points "and led the troops away hoping that at least the children would escape."
"Then let's find the children and keep them safe. I'll prepare a fort a little ways off the path, away from the bodies, if the rest of you will go retrieve them,and then we'll dispose of the remains."
While the children are brought, Thomas sends Gamliel to keep high watch with that group, and he creates three Galders Towers - two with both floors bedrooms, and the other with a bathroom/shower room on the upper floor, and a dining area on the lower. They will be located about 100' away from the battle site. All the entrances will face towards the center, and the buildings will be stone squares touching each other. The open side will face away from the battle area. He then creates Continual Flame on sticks at the entrances to all three. Once that's done he'll build a campfire in the middle.
If they dont get back before all that is done, he'll start/help searching the bodies, and prepare a grave site with alter self to be a better digger.
Gamliel will guide them to the location of the Towers.
Someone will have to guard the ex-MAAs

Sarah guards the MAAs and gets ready to cast her charm spell once the others are done. They will also need to discuss how to smuggle the serfs to safety and what to do with the MAAs. Letting the ex-serfs decide their fate has a certain poetic justice but Sarah worries that the PPA might seek retribution.
OoC: did the knight have heavy armor?
Aleister will search the knight, stripping off the armor, if it is well made he will pack it up for somebody to use. Anything useful amid the mess?
Investigation 4 Perception 7
Panic is a mechanism that strengthens the gene pool.
George will help Sarah question the MMAs
‘I think sending a clear message back to the PPA that ‘serf hunting’ isn’t permissible on our lands would be a good idea - it would encourage more serfs to flee for starters which would weaken them by cutting at their labor base. It’s also the right thing to do - and I do like it when the practical, the strategic and the moral all line themselves up neatly like’
"That's what Canada did, and it worked out very well for the Blacks fleeing the South slavers. I'd say let's go with it."

The PPA troops cut you up badly. I'm assuming a long rest to recover before you continue on after the 'zombies'. How are you going to deal with the escaped serfs?
The knight was in chain mail and shield. There are also 15 horses and some tracking dogs.
A writ from the local lord to hunt down escaped serfs. Weapons, armour, provisions, horses, bloodhounds, some PPA currency.
"Aleister, do you have some goodberries to share? We're all a bit beaten up."
What do you want to know with these questions?
