Jack makes like he’s going to fire the crossbow, but a blast of eldritch power lashes out from him instead, appearing as a snap of imploding power near the cultist
Ophelia's bolt smacks against the cultist against a sturdy metal-framed crate, as they stumble to the ground there's a pop of magical energy just above their body as they tense a few times before remaining still...
{Out of Initiative}
Tension eases in the storekeep as those sided with the cultists are no longer standing in the space aglow with warm torch light. In a space so easily imagined to be bustling with people, the quiet can be a bit unsettling, and that is not to include the distant beating of wings...
Feel free to interact with the storekeep or the remains of the cultists
Jackdoesn't find much apart from the cultists simple weapons, which look usable but not exception. They each hold darts and shortswords that do not hold any insignia if they wish to be used.
Ophelia looks around the room, more interested in heading out to see the dragon than looking through a bunch of supplies. "Are we done here? They might need us back at the keep."

It is not so visually clear to you why the Cult of the Dragons would be here.

The streets are far quieter now, only leaving room for the wind to scatter bits and pieces of people lives on the dark streets of a humble town and distant thumps of the wings. Suddenly three cultists burst out of an open front door; two donning simple leather armours, blades out with a sack over one arm and a small chest under another. They both look to the hooded one behind them with a knowing grin as you hear the simple command.
"Slice them."

Ophelia'svictim (C3) holds a cocky grin until the very end; knocked off his feet and slammed into the house he just robbed left still in a smoking heap.
Toh'sstrike is on target, but the cultist is more prepared than their comrade and they dodge the slash!
The hooded acolyte (A5) raises their hand - purple-red flames descend onto Toh!
DEX Save: Toh - 17 The armoured dragonborn leans out the way as the flames streak into the ground!

Kava's swing leaves a resounding crack! as the cultist (G2) is sent off their feet and smashing into a box in an explosion of fine grey powder.
Velsa gives Kava a determined nod of approval before dashing towards another cultist (G4) to apply some pressure!
The cultist guards continue their assault, with grim resolution...
G4's shortsword to Toh - Melee Weapon Attack: 5 Damage: 4 (slashing)
G6's dart to Ophelia - Ranged Weapon Attack: 6 Damage: 3 (piercing)
With enemies seemingly surrounding them, their chances of even partial success sends their focus off and their aim is off...

(The flanking rules wasn't specified - after looking them up, they seem fine to me!)
The slash of Toh's longsword is followed by a grim splattering sound as the cultist (G4) does not get back up.

Kava begins to scan the storefront, wondering what the cultists would want within the building.

Ophelia looks around the room, more interested in heading out to see the dragon than looking through a bunch of supplies. "Are we done here? They might need us back at the keep."
Toh walks around, making sure there are no more hiding cultists. Then he nods. "Yes, let's go. There is more evil out there that needs pushing back."

Jack starts walking along. “Yeah, I don’t see anything good here. Not sure it’s worth keeping from the cultists.”

"Well... apart from all the supplies the villagers need." Ophelia adds.
