Looking for alternative routes, Monk-E looks North to the houses for safe passage and looks at the direction of the river flow, speed, and depth of water (perhaps we can hold our breath underwater while the river carries us under the bridge, and looks if there is anything beyond the bridge to distract those on the bridge and turn their backs to us(Perception?: 14 ).
{I'm assuming we're across the river, on the north bank?}
And, Monk-E also looks at Rex with raised eye brows at his "Laser" comments.
[I've been calling it a river, but it's actually a stream. That's what I get for typing while tired.]
The stream is rarely more than 3 feet deep with a gravel bottom. The trees and brush alongside the stream are very dense. From your vantage point, you can't see the streets on the other side of the foliage to know whether or not they are clear. By this point, the sun has fully gone down, and the only light in the area comes from a few fires around town and a half moon.
Rex dons his cult robes and puts on the cult mask, "Ok, I'm going to go distract them. You all, sneak through while I'm doing that." Rex gives a thumbs up while positioning himself so that he's running over to meet them on the bridge. "Brothers! Brothers! We are under attack! A man, clothed in darkness and fire destroyed what remains of my group. I ran to come and meet you. We must ambush him before he reaches the hoard! He will surely destroy us all! Also he was proclaiming about Io and a unified dragonkind. If this was the force of this Io, he must be truly powerful! We must stop him! Also he was handsome in a vaguely dashing way, but still terrifying, oh so terrifying!" [Aaand deception go! 9]
Monk-E, moves forward to sneak through while Rex talks to the kobolds and cultists about a handsome and dashing man. Not knowing how stealthy he needs to be in this situation, Monk-E still tries to walk softly. (Stealth: 12)

The kobolds immediately start running in the direction Rex came from, but the humans stop them before they get to far. "What's all this about Io? The Queen of Dragons will rain terror upon all who oppose her, and those of us who are left will take our rightful place!"
Nydella loads her crossbow from her hiding place and targets the human addressing Rex, "if something goes down I'll at least get one of them" she thinks to herself.

Sometimes a Nat 1 tells a better story than a Nat 20 ever could.
Rex tries to stay calm, though he is scratching his neck a bit. Lying for extended periods gets him itchy. "Yeah, Io, I got no clue man. This guy was crazy! I saw him fire lasers outta his hands! He vaporized one of these guys," Rex points to the kobold, "Like they were nothing! Yeah, the Queen of Dragons could stomp him out, but do you really want to get in trouble if he gets a single gold piece of hers? I mean, what are you gonna say, 'Sorry my queen, we knew he was trying to steal from you, but we just didn't think anything of it.'" [Rex is gonna try to now intimidate them using Tiamat, 9]

The cultists hesitate a bit, but see through the ruse. Drawing her sword, one of them says, "A black dragonborn might make a nice gift for the Wearer of the Purple." [Everyone roll initiative. Nydella, you can shoot your crossbow during the surprise round.
Fjordix turns a cocked eyebrow to Rex, "Lasers?"

Nydella hides knowing the group, the spellcasters at the very least, are not up for another fight!

Nydella, make a stealth check.
"I have an idea." [Could Rex don his cult robes?]

(Stealth check: 9 Yup, I am not stealthy.)

[There will definitely be a respite at the keep. You just need to work your way through (or around) the patrols.
Rex, you can certainly don your robes.]
