Hoard of the Dragon Queen [IC. 2014 rules]

Upon noticing this, Tam does her best to up the ante on the acting, shouting at the kobolds and the other cultists to get the door open. She thinks she's pretty impressive with her act.

Draylin

Hearing Tam's call to action, Draylin moves closer to the door and pounds on it with the hilt of his dagger for a bit.  He then turns to the "kobolds" and yells at them to work harder.

***help action for Tam's ruse.***

[Second roll for the advantage bumped my up to a 20 for performance!]

Montar listens closely at the door, ready to jump out in case things go South. (Perception 22)

The cultists keep on hollering and booing, and the crowd soon moves past again. Once all the screaming and noise quiet down a bit, the priest unlocks the back door, looks out, and then clears the way for the people inside the temple to begin leaving. While still scared, everyone appears motivated and moves swiftly. With the last of them out, you all manage to make it back to the secret tunnel of the keep, using the shadows from the brush along the stream and the tree cover to mask your passing.

Once you climb up the stairs and reach the main hall, you are greeted by a chaotic scene of guards running and yelling. It seems like some of the cultists have made their way into the keep. By chance, one of the people in this chaos is Escobert, who notices you and the crowd with you and immediately runs toward you.

"We've been breached! Our sally port has been attacked!" he shouts, casting a very brief glance over you as if searching for wounds. "Please, come with me! Help me push back the enemy, we've already lost a few guards!"

He begins running toward the western part of the walls, where the keep's sally port is located. The old gate there was broken, Escobert explains, and a few foes made their way inside the keep. Most of them have been taken care of, and the rest will be captured by the guards. The priority now is to reseal the sally port.

He stops in front of a heavy wooden door, panting from the effort of the running. On the other side of it, you can hear the screeching sounds of kobolds and snarling. 

"Now, there are a few enemies inside guarding the room..."

Please give me a marching order (map incoming)

Tam instinctively moves to the back of the group. She is not a front line fighter, and her crossbow is of better use from behind her more stalwart companions.

Even without his enhanced spore advantages, Thislewick is aware of his duty.  Shrugging his shoulders to settle his armor and adjusting his shield, he casts Shillelagh once again upon his club as he hurries to follow Escobert and company toward the latest crisis.

Montar moves to stand in front, and will take point unless Thistlewick insists. He is injured, so if Escobar has healing to spare on the way there, and doesn't need it for someone else, the dwarf wouldn't say no.

Draylin 

"I will stand wwithyou at the vanguard, Montar.  Should they run in fear of our might I would like a front row seat," he adds to break the tension.
