And in a flash the battle was over. The last of the bandits were taken out swiftly, and already Brannor and Orchid were finishing off the rest of the sleeping Kobolds. It amazed Parum how well this worked out. Maybe they stand a chance after all. Still, no time to celebrate just yet. Brannor suggested they she, Kyra, and Mr. Lake to head to the chapel. Made some sense; Kyra and Mr. Lake are natives to the area, and Parum could always work her charm. [color=7ea7d8]"Right then. Let's hurry and be on our way."[/color] Parum ran towards the back entrance and tried to use her Minor Illusion to project her voice inside the temple. She didn't want to yell at the risk of alerting the other raiders on the otherside, and would rather accidentally spook the villagers then get into another fight. [color=7ea7d8]"Hello, my name is Parum. My party is here to rescue you. Kyra and Mr. Lake is with me. We are at the back entrance. Quickly, we must leave before the raiders get through the door."[/color] Parum spoke softly to the villagers inside, using a calm and soothing voice. The same sort of voice she'd use to calm down crying children and scared people, much like who may be inside the temple right now. It was much more practiced than Parum would care to admit, though never before has she ever had to use such a tone in a situation like this. They're usually less life-threatening. [color=7ea7d8]"Take only what is necessary. Food, clothes, a weapon if you have one. We must make haste."[/color] [hider=Rolls] Persuasion = [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/2107]23[/url] [/hider]
