"Thank you." Harmony offers a quick smile to Eadyan as he heals her. "We should keep moving. There isn't much time to waste."

Stealth: 8

“Be ready Eadyan, I hope that Leosin can hurry along.  Careful now, quick but quiet.”

Petmailer Stealth :  24

Petmailer quickly scans the people who are coming for someone who looks like Markguth, looking for his sister Sara.  

Petmailer, as worrisome as it is, you see no woman amongst the group who matches Sara's description.

The group manages to travel undetected, until a roaming ambush drake catches sight of Harmony and starts to chase after her and the group. For some reason, it seems to have yet to see Petmailer.

"I'm unarmed" Eadyan warns. "And if we fight it, that might make too much noise..." He starts running faster and urges you the people to do the same. "We are close to the Keep now, there we will be safe!"

As everyone runs for their lives, the drake seems focused on hunting down the weakest ones, like the predator it is. It catches off with the slowest of the villagers and attempts to attack them.

Against the townsfolk:

An elderly man almost gets bitten, but manages to kick the drake in the muzzle and keep running. Angered, the drake keeps up the chase.

“Press on, to the keep!”  Petmailer keeps running and urges the others to keep up the pace.  "Eadyan, have you seen the smith Markguth's sister, Sara?  He asked me to check on her and bring her back.  No way to turn back, we must press forward and quickly, to the keep!"  Petmailer keeps running, as fast as he can.  

When Petmailer gets within range of the keep, he plans to message Escobert, Gunra, Nurm, and Kane saying "Cover us!  We are headed in fast, be ready at the gate and cover us when we are trying to enter!"

Noticing that the drake seems to have its sights on her, Harmony does her best to keep up her sprint.  When they get in range, she'll send a message of her own to the governor: "Let us in! Giant lizard-dragon-thing chasing us!"

Gunra doesn't respond to the message - no time or purpose to that.  Instead he strings up his longbow and heads to the battlements, looking to survey the situation below.

Kane hears Petmailer’s message. He runs over to the gate’s winch to help prepare to raise it.

Nurm joins Kane at the gate and prepares himself to strike any cultist that approaches too close.

The Temple's group has reached the Keep.

With the hurry, Eadyan doesn't answer right away, but looks distraught. 

Nighthill and Escobert go downstairs and order to open the gate. As soon as it is open, the group enters in a panic, being chased closely behind by the drake. 

The guards opening the gate try to close it as soon as everyone has made it inside, but they aren't fast enough, and the drake makes it inside the Keep just as the gate gets closed. 

The ambush drake pounces at the nearest guard:

"Oh, give me a break!" Escobert exclaims. "Guards, kill that thing! Everyone else, run upstairs! Go!"

The attacked guard gets pinned down by the drake and protects himself with his arm to keep it from going at his throat. The villagers do as told and leave.

((...A 22? Out of all the possible good things I could roll for, and this is the time where the dice gives me a twenty-something? Really? Really?))

Petmailer has his bow ready, he aims at the drake and fires.  

Attack: 25 Damage: 7

Harmony darts inside, skidding to a stop once she's at the bottom of the stairs. Turning around, she yells towards the drake, "Hey, bring the kobolds back! They were more intimidating than you!"

((DC 14 wisdom save or take 1 damage))

Hearing the chaos break out back downstairs, Gunra turns and starts going back down. Tortles were not known for their speed, but he had thought there would be a little more time before the away team got back.

Harmony, your words seem to fall on deaf ears as the drake completely ignores you.

Petmailer, you struck the drake with your shot, the shaft of the arrow now sticking out on the draconic beast's back, but it fails to kill it. One of the guards swings his mace at it, and you all hear the creature's bones breaking. 

Hissing in pain, the drake tries to run from the guards and the party, trying to reach the stairs that would let it go to where the unarmed villagers currently are.

The drake is down to 7 HP. Adventurers, what do you do?

Kane, having been near the gate when the drake attacked, runs forwards and casts Eldritch Blast at the drake before it reaches the villagers. 
To hit: 6

Damage: 12

Seeing that her attempted spell fell flat, Harmony darts forward again and attempts to stick it with her rapier.

Attack: 22 Damage: 7

Seeing the drake following the villagers, Nurm strikes it with his mental powers.

((Mind Sliver: 13 int save, 2 damage, 3 next save malus))

The drake evades Kane's blast and proves resistant to Nurm's mind powers, but when Harmony darts forward and sticks her rapier into its heart, it finally dies.

There's a moment of relief after the problem is dealt with, but its short-lived as you hear a booming voice coming from outside the Keep.

"Defenders of Greenest, show yourselves! I have an offer that might interest you..."

Linan comes quick down the stairs, pausing for a moment when she sees the dead drake, before finally speaking. "Come upstairs, quick! The cultists are doing something..."

Kane runs back upstairs to see what’s going on. 

Petmailer quickly takes off his cultist robe and stuffs it in his backpack, holds his longbow and runs up the stairs to see.  

Huffing as he reaches the bottom of the stairs, Gunra steps aside as Linan moves past him and gathers the party. Initially very impressed by the dead drake, exasperation takes over as he quickly realizes he now has to climb back up the stairs.

"You all. . . fiendish warriors. . . ." he pants as Kane and Petmailer ascend. He gathers himself and likewise goes back up the stairs.
