"I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me..."
"We will have to open the gate."Swan says, turning to Cerau, looking at her expectantly. Her golden eyes now faintly glowing in the darkness, thanks to Cerau's magic. "Do you still have the key, Cerau?"
Wiri leans back and waits for the door to be opened, not necessarily able to pinpoint the source of the sudden worry in the back of her head. As she waits, she takes a moment to collect her thoughts and to do a mental inventory of her spells. A sudden memory of cowering under the dragon's presence jolts through her brain, though she wills it away almost instantly. She knows that she has to be strong for her companions and for the people of Greenest. Making a holy sign with her hand, she closes her eyes and whispers a short prayer for the protection of the party. After a moment's silence she states, "I have some ability to heal anyone in view, if any of you find yourselves in need."
The half-drow's trailing voice implies that she had more to add, though she lets it die away in preparation for the danger ahead.

Y'landrothiel has landed on a nearby tree and is fairly calm. When you looked through her eyes, the surrounding area is quite clear. there are some movement but not in the area where you will exit.
Cerau has put the key in the lock, gave it a twist in one way, then in the other... The rust has spared the insides of the mechanism and the lock opened.
You gave the gate a push and it was opened with a faint screech. You are now in the area marked in yellow. It's quite well hidden, with bushes all around and couple of trees nearby.

The white-haired elven maiden nods and smiles warmly at Wirilome as the half-drow offers her healing. The team's skirmishes so far had been swift but Sabynn had a feeling that healing magic would be needed soon enough. "The area outside is free from threats but we should proceed with caution."Sabynn says softly, ready to head out into Greenest again, sending Y'landrothiel up to find the closest persons, using the owl's senses to assess them to decide if they seem like a good target for the team's hunt.
As Y'landrothiel rises above your heads, Sabynns eyes turn milky white. Her head movements for a brief time remind those of an owl...
From the above Sabynn can scout three locations...
A - where a group of Kobolds is having a rest of some sorts... They are rosting a pig or something similar in size. The group is fairly large - about 10 creatures two however are bit larger in size and the others curl down when they approach.
B - is a group of 5 people who are pilliging a houses and are takind some things out of the house and bring it to the crossroads
C is a mixed group of few kobolds and couple of people. Kobolds are sitting and looking around and the people are talking gesturing lively.

"I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me..."
Sabynn quickly tells the others what she has spotted. "No sign of any townsfolk or any officers. I suggest we move swiftly to the west and take out those pillagers. I believe they are more likely to have useful information than the kobolds."She says, glancing around at the others, deferring to Swan to make any tactical decisions. She also messages Y'landrothiel to warn her should the dragon come their way.
Swan nods in agreement with Sabynn's suggestion. "Agreed, the pillagers are likely to have more information than the kobolds,"she says, scanning the area for any signs of danger. "Let's move quickly and quietly. We don't want to attract any unwanted attention from the kobolds or the dragon,"she adds, motioning for the group to follow her lead. She takes a moment to ensure her weapons are securely fastened before leading the way towards the group of pillagers.

As Tyto steps out of the gate, thick spider webs hang from his shoulders and hair, but he seems either not to notice or not to mind. As Swan and Sabynn discuss their next move, Tyto looks around the town. More houses were in flames than before, and it looked like the intruders would not stop before the last house was burned down. Mozilla would be angry at this senseless destruction - Tyto could feel her presence, her anger in the back of his mind. He forced himself to calm down and to analyse the situation a bit closer. Some of the Kobolds were looting things from houses - were they looking for something specific? Could this be the whole reason for this attack? It was hard to see what it was that the Kobolds carried towards the junction...
Perception check (if I may) to spot what exactly the Kobolds are taking out of the houses: 14
And these other Kobolds were... having a barbecue? Here, in the middle of this havoc? Something did not add up there - was this really just a pig? And what were these bigger creatures? Tyto decided to take a closer look...
OOC: Not sure if you want a separate perception roll or want to use the one from above for this - I'll roll the next one in a spoiler section, and you can decide which to use:
Perception check to take a closer look at the resting Kobolds: 23
Cerau nods at the suggestion and creeps slowly out of the tunnel after Swan and Sabynn. As the group heads into the darkness, her posture is straight and there is no sign of her usual smile.
Channeling the emotions that swirl inside of her, she concentrates on her footfall and holds her mace tightly as she moves forward. Readying herself for the possible conflict, she reminds herself, They have destroyed the lives of innocent people and done much harm - balance must be restored.

Wiri keeps to the middle of the pack, leaning on her staff as she follows the group toward the pillagers. The half-drow bears a slightly worried expression, though nothing like when she'd first noticed the dragon attacking the city. As the group nears the pillagers, Wiri will position herself behind the front line and (hopefully) somewhat out of sight/partially covered.

@ Tyto:
Actually the location A is not visible from the place where you are - you are in a stream bed and simply do not have straight line of sight to check up on them - you can try to sneak up a bit closer, however due to terrain, it may take some time. For the time I assume you are with the group - if otherwise, please let me know and I'll narrate.
You go down the stream which masks your movement a bit. Currently you are in location A. With help of Y'landrothiel and Sabynn's beast sight, you can get the following information:
In location B (blue) there is some kind of two wheeled cart with some goods stashed upon.
Locations C and D (red) are four people taking goods from the houses. All are dressed as common guards or fighters.
Location E is a person standing a bit bored looking around. The person is dressed in long black trousers and black jacket and is playing with a weird looking knife.

OOC: You're right Li, that actually makes perfect sense - please ignore my previous post altogether.
Tyto watches the figures for a few seconds, assessing their capability in a fight, weighing the group's chances. It should be easy enough to handle them, but to do so quickly and silently so as not to alert other enemies would be a challenge. And Tyto did not like the calmness of the apparent leader of the group, nor their knife. It looked evil to him, aggressive - even more so than a normal dagger would. It was hard to grasp...
Tyto looks expectantly towards Swan "So should we attack now or try to get closer without being noticed first? We'd have to leave at least one of them alive in order to interrogate them I suppose - I believe they" and Tyto points to the person with the dagger "likely know more than the others, but they seem... dangerous. Does anyone have a means of taking someone out of a fight temporarily? I could attempt to charm them, get them to talk a bit, but I don't believe it will last long enough before the others get suspicious..."
“I could try and put them into a magical sleep?” Cerau whispers. “If it worked it would last a minute which might be long enough for us to take care of the other four. Maybe your ability to charm them could come in handy when they’re awake again?”
Cerau looks over to Wiri, noticing the half drow’s expression of concern. “We’ll be okay if we work together.” Cerau offers her hand to Wiri and looks to Swan and Sabynn, “Whatever we decide, we should act soon while they’re busy.”

The white-haired elven maiden nods and smiles at Cerau. To swiftly send the enemy into a slumber would prevent them from calling on reinforcements and they only needed one to interrogate for now. Her elven longbow ready in her hand, Sabynn turns and looks shyly to Swan, hoping the blonde warrior would decide how to engage this enemy.

Swan's eyes scan the group of pillagers as they continue to gather valuables from the burning houses. "These guys are just here for the loot when everything goes to hell,"She says, “They may not be willing to sacrifice their lives for a little gold.”
Swan glances at the person standing around playing a knife. He doesn’t look like a leader to her, more like someone on lookout. She nods her chin towards the guy, “Let's try and scare them off. We'll tell them we're sent by the mayor to put a stop to this. Get your spell ready, Cerau, in case things go wrong.”
Swan strides towards the lookout, calling out to him. "Hey, what do you think you're doing? Stop right there! The mayor sent us to put a stop to this!"

OOC just to make sure we are on the same page...
The party (Sabynn, Cerau, Wiri and Tyto) is more or less in location A - if you would like to move to a different location, please let me know - you'd have that opportunity as Swan has began to move on;
Swan has moved in the shortest path - doable if she moved away from the burning shead - if you'd like to choose a different path, please let me know;
Groups C & D are currently in the two buildings, however the doors are opened and most likely they could hear louder noises;
The distance between groups A and C+D is about 40 yards (120 feet), between A and E about 25 yards (75 feet).
If you'd like to clarify anything, please let me know via PM or OOC in your post :)
Swan:
As you approach you can see the person sitting on the cart. He jumps off the cart as he hears your voice. He raises his right hand "Praise her gl..." but he stops suddenly and asks with clear surprise in his voice "What mayor? Who are you?" He looks around as if checking if you are alone. You are about 10 feet from him.
