Ashehee notices the wounded man and two children and immediately jumps down from the horse which Slade and deftly stopped. She moves toward the man and touches his chest, whispering a prayer (Lay of Hands heals man 5 HP - see P. 84 PHB)
"Stay behind me!" she tells the children and man.
Ashehee turns toward the remaining cultists and scowls, "Surrender now or suffer the wrath of the Silver Flame." (Intimidation roll: 10 )

Ashehee recognizes these attackers as worshippers of evil. She sees their draconic motifs coupled with their actions as being part of the modus operandi of the cult of the dragon below.
The man stabilized with Ashehee's touch. He puts his hand on hers as a sign of thanks.
The cultists hear Ashehee's demand and cackle, though one of them seems to look frightened. "Girly, lookit the great one we brought with us... I'd say you'll be more likely to suffer. Perhaps you should surrender." One of them says, a dragonborn.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Slade leaps from his mount and draws his blade in one fluid motion. Dashing at the cultists right after the wave of flame he makes a quick slash followed by a sweeping kick in a blur of motion.
"I'm not seeing that great one now. Unless one of you has another dragon in your pocket, I'm afraid the you're the ones that will suffer.", Slade snidely comments after viewing his handiwork.
Move: Dismount and move towards injured cultists
Action: Attack with short sword (9) for (8)
Bonus Action: Attack with martial arts (16) for (6)
(OOC: Slade is targeting the wounded cultists. If he kills one with 1st attack he will move and attack the remaining one with the bonus attack)
Slade's quick movements catch two injured cultists off-guard. In a swift attack, he cuts a man to ribbons and with his free hand, deals a crushing blow to a cultist behind him. Both cultists fall to the ground, one dead and the other unconscious.

Eleth takes out her bow and fires a shot at one of the cultists. She lands her shot square in the cultist's head, killing him instantly.
Zomith rushes up to the final, living cultist and crushes his skull in with her greatsword. Klobs gags at the blood splatter and carnage left in the wake of the battle.
The fight concludes, but the woman, man, and the two children are all still visibly shaken. The woman throws her broken spear to the ground and runs in the direction of the man and children. As she does so, the man, still wounded but conscious and stabilized looks up at Ashehee, recognizing her as a paladin of the Silver Flame. "My-My lady... my son he was taken!" He gasps in his pauses. The two children by him say nothing, but the panicked look in their eyes tell the story. "He, he kept running past us..." He points to the south. "I saw them grab him... but I-" He coughs.
"What!" The woman shouts. "No, no, they couldn't have, my son-!" She runs off in the direction that the wounded man points in.

"What does your son look like? How old is he? We will find him.", Aurelia assures the man, trying to call him down. "Do you know what these cultists are are doing here?"
As she runs for the field Dahme'dre is beside her immediately with the discarded spear in hand. She offers her hand to the women. "We will find the child, do not fear" with that Dahme'dre mends (mending) the broken spear and tests its weight in hand. "I've got no patience for kidnappers. They won't have gotten far."
"They-they just attacked. I-I don't know," The man admits. "My boy, he is young, about... about 5... please..." The man stands up but limps.
Meanwhile...
"Thanks, friend." The woman accepts the spear. "This will nicely skewer those stupid enough to take my son. Name's Linan Swift."
As Dahme'dre runs to Linan with the spear, Zomith and Klobs ride up beside her. Klobs looks very unnerved but has little choice other than to ride along.

(I assume most of you that didn't actively dismount are mounted. So, I think Slade and Ashehee are the only ones dismounted right now... I was assuming you would have slowed down to hand it to her since she is still on foot. Also ref on these NPCs: Man and Linan )
As you travel south through the forest, you find yourself at the edge of the stream. On the other side is a mill. You hear screaming from this direction.

"No time to lose, friends, we may not be too late," Slade exclaims as he wades out into the water towards the mill. Upon reaching the structure, Slade quickly scans the building for a window or others means to observe within.
The rushing water runs cold against Slade's legs. It comes up waist high for him at its deepest. Slade sees the mill is a simple water mill with two stories. There are two windows on either side of the protruding waterwheel.

Slade sees two, small kobold creatures with a child he believes to be the missing one of the bunch. None of them seem to notice the wood elf, but it appears the kobolds are trying to take the child upstairs. The child is shrieking.

Slade silently turns away from the window, and holds forth two fingers followed by pointing towards the window in a quick fashion suggesting the need for haste. His mask betrays a hint of concern as he mouths back, We need to move now.
Nodding to show she understands both the message and the need for haste, Aurelia turns and relays the message to the rest of the party. Then, casting guidance on herself and on Eleth, she quickly but quietly dismounts and runs quietly to join Slade at the wall of the mill. She nods to him, mouthing Ready when you are. Aurelia then lays a gentle touch on Slade's shoulder, and he feels divine confidence imbue him.
(Stealth:17 + 3)
(OOC- planned action: Right before Slade enters the mill, if that is what happens, Aurelia will cast guidance on everyone that's at the wall so they get a bonus on their first ability check)
Dahme'dre brings her horse across the stream to the west of the mill. She wears a look of determination, thinking of her dragonmark... and the day it manifested. No patience for kidnappers indeed.
