Bill just stays quiet as he looks the man up and down trying to get a read on him as the conversation moves. His silence just acting as a wall to interacting with the man.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rictor: Getting close to the 3 robed figures Rictor can tell the two with swords are male and the one in between them is a female. He also noticed they are wearing chain mail under their robes. The woman's eyes glow a bit and suddenly her voice becomes clear and loud enough for everyone to hear in the town.
"People of Old Bull!" she states. "You have been judged and found harboring a great evil. Many among you have colluded with the Devil and his minions. Therefore, to protect the world from the spread of this evil, you must be purged. May God have mercy on your souls." At the end of her statement, the wind starts to pick up and there appears to be an unnatural storm rolling into the area. Lightning flashes and thunder shakes the ground.
When Rictor asks his question, the reaction from one of the men is deadly. The man raises his sword and leaps, coving the distance to you easily.
Initiative roll for Warrior Priest: 20
Rictor roll initiative!
Val & Keth: Both Val & Keth witness Rictor making his way to the three robed figures and hear the woman's speech. As they stand there they see one of the robed figures leap towards Rictor, Sword posed to strike. The storm that abruptly comes in kicks up more debris and the townsfolk start to turn and run for the safety of a building. There is a shot that rings out from the right of Val & Keth and they see one of the townsfolk, a man, fall to the ground. Blood slowly pours from his head.
Val& Keth can make Initiative rolls but also need to roll Perception rolls.
Flynn, Bill & Ravoskan: Each of you hears the woman's speech. AS she finishes the man standing in the bar having a drink, turns and, leans to one side onto the bar. He is facing you but says nothing.
As Flynn gets up the man at the bar says in a thick southern accent.
"I suggest you not interfere with the goings on outside," he says very calmly and clearly. "I have it on good authority that you and your two companions here were to be spared of all this unpleasantness that is about to occur. However, if you endeavor to go and take part in preventing this culling I have been well paid to make sure you do not."
As the man says this he opens his jacket a bit, letting the jacket tail rest behind his holster. The man is calm but, his eyes are alert and have each of you within his sight. His coolness and calmness give you the impression he is a skilled and apt gunfighter.
Ravoskan gives the man a puzzled look, "But of course we are in no danger, we are all good people. And as good people, we can not stand by and allow these strangers to proclaim the guilt of an entire town and begin to slaughter them. I have no wish to fight you or them, but, with the aid of the saints above, I will not merely sit here while defenseless innocents are in danger." And with that, he'll rise and move towards the door, staring down the man at the bar.
Rictor had seen men driven to madness by their convictions during the war and had once shared the zealots' faith, though now he followed a much different path. He didn't want to draw on the men and woman but the armor and weapons of the Cross-bearers glinted dangerously. Before he could even put his hand on his trusty empty-barreled revolver one of them was charging at him.
Actions? Keth notices, through the wind and debris that 6 Cavalry Troops have positioned themselves along the buildings of the town and are taking aim at the citizens of Old Bull as they run. Outside there is a large flash as lightning dances across the sky above.

With a practiced ease, Flynn draws his revolver, aims it and fires. Tucking his shoulder, he rolls behind any cover he can reach, firing off another shot as he does so (Firearm specialist feat BA attack). Both shots are inexplicably not aimed at the target, but at his weapon (Disarming shot)
Attack: 28 Damage: 15
BA Attack: 18 Damage: 10
(He must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or have his weapon be flung 10 feet away)

The wind swirling, the sky belting out and roaring nature's wrath, Keth let's his head back and lets loose a loud eagle's cry, his dreadlocked hair flailing behind him (BA Rage). He then sets off, drawing his tomahawk as he runs at one of the paladins near Rictor, his protective instincts overtaking him.
Tomahawak Reckless Attack: 20 Damage: 8
Any attacks against him AFTER the attack get advantage.
He yells out into the cacophany, "Shooters up high!"

He is not.
Flynn dubiously stands up and starts to walk to the door, his hand resting on his revolver at his side

Flynn sighs "I suppose you could try. If you think you are fast enough that is..."
(Currently the man is sitting down, correct?)
