"Unfortunately, I do not have any ranged weaponry, unless you want me to throw my sword or dagger. Or perhaps my shield. I have heard stories of a legendary captain who fought battles with only a shield. His luck was so that his shield often riquoched off his enemies and returned to him."

"If only that captain were with us," Tina says. "I have a spare javelin if you think you can throw it."

*WHAM* *CRUNCH*
The battering ram must be finished because the cultist just started using it on the front doors of the chapel.
"Now or never," comments the dark elf as he then starts a magical incantation. He releases the spell and everyone holds their breath to see how it works. With a smug smile Xull'vian rubs is hands together. "Got'em all."
Indeed all the kobolds and the two human cultist lay down right were they stood and are soon fast asleep.

"Filmark, get going," Tina says as she continues removing planks. "Who's going with him?"

Attacked during a magical experiment, all of my family was slaughtered and I alone survived, but the Cult of the Dragon believes me to be dead also. Although I survived, I was changed and scarred by the magical backlash, and I want revenge! My hit list consists of three names: a human cultist named Frulam Mondath, a half-orc named Bog Luck, and a half-dragon named Rezmir. I have now infiltrated a small group of cultists, who linked up with the main assault force set to attack Greenest. | View attachment 97224 |

"Go down to the end of the fence (toward the castle) and keep look out. Let us know immediately if an brigands are coming around the corner toward us here behind the fence." Tina suggests. "That is a bit far away so make sure you stay out of sight. And as soon as we start running for the castle, you start running too."

"That's bloody crazy! Why don't you just kill me yourselves now and save time?? There's no way I'm going out there by myself to see what dangers lurk there. And if I see enemies, you want me to stand up and shout, 'Yoo-hoo, here come the bad guys!' That is sure to add decades to my life-expectancy. Thanks, but no thanks."

"Or they never come around that corner and you are way over there when they come through this hole and kill us standing right here. I did not ask you to accompany Filmark into the compound full of enemies. That's a lot more dangerous isn't it?
"And in case you haven't noticed, we are all probably about to die," Tina says as she continues to enlarge the hole in the fence. "The only question is if the creatures that kill us do so by walking through this hole I'm making or they circle around the fence and find us making the hole. Now, if you are not going to act as look out for that second possibility, then just stand there and wait for them to arrive so we can all die together. Or you can just run back to the castle and hide. Or you can help Filmark. I don't care what you choose. But choose quickly so perhaps if you aren't going to act as look out, someone else might do so." She looks at the others who haven't figured out what they are doing to see if they will say what they wish to do. To herself, she just thinks, "Or the tall enemies just hop the fence. But hopefully they see the hole and head for it."

Rumdum says, "I can back someone up with my sling or hide and act as a lookout. Do you want me with Filmark or going down to the end of the fence and acting as the lookout?"

"Either go lookout or stay here," Tina says. "I think the fewer people we send inside the fence the less likely we are noticed."

Filmark quickly hurries toward the church, running as quietly as he possibly can. As he approaches the sleeping enemies, he draws his sword and quickly dispatches them before knocking on the backdoor of the church and calling out to those inside "People of Greenest, it is I, Filmark! Guardsman of Lord Nighthill Let me in!". He hopes the noise of the battering ram hides his voices from the bandits up front but still does not shout very loudly. He looks around quickly for any other routes into the church but stays near the back door, occasionally repeating his knocking and announcing.
OOC: In case it is needed, here is my roll for any stealth. Hopefully, it is not needed due to the smoke, loud battering ram, and sleep spell.
_: 1D20 = [5] = 5

Tina pulls another board free. "That's the spirit," she says. "I hope they get into that church soon. Can any one see the patrol? I hope they're still on the side of the church."
