William grabs the second sack, pulls the cloaks off the bandits and stuff them in, he has a quick glance for easy purses. "Two cloaks won't be enough to pretend we're escorting prisoners, but if we get another..." He then heads off in the direction Gutter motioned, sword in one hand, javelin ready in the other.

Tina leads the group cautiously, looking in windows and doorways, to the last row of houses before the keep of Greenest. Her goal was the house she knew that also had a tree in the yard for extra cover.
From the corner the group can see the large keep on the hill. It is still manned and Lord Nighthill's banners still fly even though high above them the dragon roars. People from the north of your position seem to be getting into the still open gates.
A group of kobolds and cultist have blocked the road and thus the most direct route to the gates. From where you stand you could try and climb the hill and make your way to the gates, but you would be exposed almost the whole way. Going around the group would take longer, but which option is the most dangerous? You wonder.

"I don't much like or odds of taking out eight attackers." William says. "I think we should skirt round the hill a little then head up to the keep. Once we're in bow range of the keep, we'll be a lot safer and much more capable of dealing with attackers."

The keep was so close, well at least closer than it was when they were fighting bandits and kobolds. Tina and William watched the gates for a moment, and saw a family come rushing out between the shadows of two buildings and bee-line for the gates. The kobolds yelped and the bandits ran forward.
Suddenly a half dozen arrows flew from the walls of the keep and had the group ducking for cover and running back down the small hill on the road to lie flat and still. The family was met by a couple guards and then escorted inside.
Tina watched the skies for the dragon, and saw the blue scales glittering off the fire light of the burning homes. It was circling lazily around the outskirts of town, using the warm air currents to slowly glide about with no intended path.
