Kyra lead everyone as quickly as she could to their destination. She knew a quick path from the river bed to the back of the chapel; a path she's walked on many times as a child, sneaking out to play in the river and running back before the priests knew she was gone. Before this route was a childish thing of whimsy, but now it was a path to save lives. Once the group reached the forest they all went into cover to scout the enemy forces. There was too many, even if they could take them out one at a time. They'd need to somehow get rid of some of them, or get reinforcements. The banging on the chapel door gave Kyra a sense of urgency as she drew her bow out, ready to take out the first foe she saw.

But before she would do so, the others needed an idea of what they were going to do. Brannor and Orchid were in favor of rushing the smallest group in the back, who seemed to be building a fire to burn down the backdoors. They were sturdy, but also made of wood. There was also the issue of the patrol that was not only massive, but on the prowl. If they intercept them while dealing with these enemies, the party was done for. And of course there were the ones in the front. Kyra could immediately see that one stood out; unlike the others who seemed little more than rabid bandits dressed as cultist, this one carried himself like a warrior. No doubt he was a mercenary, perhaps a soldier even. Whatever he was however, he was a threat.

Parum asked Mr. Lake for his abilities and spells. Kyra only knew a few, and had no idea what this "Crown of Madness" does beyond what it's name may imply. Put people in a berserked state perhaps? Everything else sounded useful however, especially that sleep spell. Thus Kyra hatched a plan. [color=pink]"Use your most powerful sleep spell. Brannor, Orchid, and I will ready our weapons to focus on any enemy who doesn't fall asleep. Parum, use your illusions to distract and confuse them. We don't want any of them to escape. Torus, make sure there are no survivors, and use your bird to keep an eye on the patrols. Alert us if they get near. Once we deal with the enemies at the rear I can open the door, but we must hurry inside. Agreed?"[/color]
