"Don't worry!" calls Fontaine.

"We are here to help!"

Fontaine kicks the door.

Attack: 7 Damage on hit: 2

The door bounces and your foot comes off of it. You see that you can lift half the door and get in.

Fontaine flushes and pulls the door up enough to squeeze in, then slips into the cellar.

Perception check: 16

Attack: 24 Damage: 9

Adrex will Do a last Hit With his sword to the door to fully open it 

OOC: Not that it matters, with your roll, but how do you have a +7 to hit?

OOC: Not that it matters, with your roll, but how do you have a +7 to hit?

OOC: Nice, nice.

As you rush down the stairs Fontaine Attack: 4 Damage: 1 you see a club swing at chest level. A boy about 12 years old spins around in front of you. You hear two other small children in the back of a small root cellar.

Fontaine jumps back, avoiding the club.

"Stop!"

He holds up his hands to show that he is unarmed.

"We're here to help you get out of here."

"Hhhhhhow do I knooooow tttthat? " asks the boy clearly shaken from the events of the evening.

Fontaine's blue eyes stare into the boy's.

"Trust me. We are here to help."

Persuasion: 8

"hhhhaveee youuu seeen my mom and dad? Last I saw ooofff them they were headed to the keeepp." You can see he is starting to calm. He draws his two sisters closer to him.

"I am afraid not. We jist got here," replies Fontaine.

"We need to get you out of here, though. There's a dragoon!"

"We will get you to save and than we will search for your mom and dad. Is that a deal?" Adrex comes out of the background, trying to be as harmless and friendly as he can.

Persuasion: 7

"Why were they headed to the keep? Is that where people are taking shelter or going to fight?" Lynistra stands in the doorway, anxious at being still too long in a place recently attacked.

"Both. They went to help with the wounded and thought it was to dangerous to take us."

Fontaine nods, then turns to Adrex.

"Do you think we should bring them to the keep or somewhere else?" he whispers.

Lynistra's patience begins to wear thin (as always), "The keep is the safest place in the city and is where everyone should be fleeing at this point. Grab the kids, circle up, and let's move." She turns a new tactic and addresses the children, "We'll keep you safe. If you want to survive and see your parents, come with us."
