"Then that leaves us with a few choices on how we can proceed. We can wait for them pass and then make our way out into the village or we can strike them now and take them out. The problem with the second is that it could alert more to our presence and leave us in a battle larger then we can deal with." Z'ress says as she looks to the others.
Reso crosses his arms. "And we don't know if that dragon will reappear. But I don't mind getting my hands dirty and all of us together will make things faster."

I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
After informing the members of the party that were resting of what they have found and where Z'ress and Reso are, Graxian makes his way up to where Nighthill is.
"We have found Sir Escobert and spoken with him. He gave us information of how to find a way out and we found a passage that leads from the cellar out of the castle. Right now it is unused and does not appear to be found by the cultists. What would you have us do? My companions are down there at this time."
"I think we should try to avoid them for now." J'eilil says, in response to Z'ress. "If we get drawn into a battle now we might not reach the civilians. That needs to be our first priority."

"I agree. If we can sneak past them it would be the best outcome. We should still be ready for combat even so. It would not be wise to caught unprepared by any of these so called cultists." Z'ress says, keeping her staff at the ready.
"Good, the guards just spotted a group of raiders going to set the mill on fire. If it burns, we’ll lose our stockpile of flour and we won’t be able to grind more for months. I’m trying to assemble enough defenders from here in the keep to defend it through the rest of the night, but that will take time. You’d do us a great service if you could get to the mill quickly and drive away the raiders before they can set it aflame. You’ll need to defend it until our force arrives to take over, but it shouldn’t be more than fifteen minutes behind you.”
"We will do our best sir. " Graxian looks out and locates the mill on the other side of the river to the west.
He heads down and joins the rest of the group and reports.
"Nighthill says the mill is in trouble and requests we defend it until he has gathered forces to relieve us. The mill looks to be on the south side of the river to the west. He can't get his forces there in time to stop the raiders from burning it "
Z'ress did not seem happy that this would leave the people that could be at the chapel by themselves with the cultists, but the half elf realized if they lost their food more people would die in the end. Without waiting longer she made her way into the passage way and began to run towards the exit, slowing as she waited for the others to catch up. She kept her quarterstaff at the ready, holding it in one hand for now.

Has an hour passed for the long rest?

(Yup, J'elil is already with them.)
Dallen is also going to rejoin the party.

Reso looks at his companions. "I am ready to leave when you all are."

“I’m as rested as I can get. Might as well get going.”

(So the consensus is to wait them out?)
(That or to attempt to sneak past them I believe.)
OOC: Graxian went and spoke to Nighthill. Did he have anything to say about how we found a way out as he asked?
(I'm for sneaking past them).

Reso clasps his fists together. "Let us be off to defend the mill."

J'eilil nods in agreement. "Let's go."

Reso follows Z'ress to the entrance and assumes a fighting stance as he waits for the others.
