The people on the rescue mission knew they would have to act fast, and act fast they did. The first one having taken care of the remaining combatant, two headed to make sure the little lizard people would not become a threat and another pair made a beeline for the door concealed within the smoke. The attackers had piled some straw against it, but most that came from burning it was this smoke cloud. With all this going on, Mr. Lake shrugged and decided to stay where he was, making sure the retreat route was available once needed.

While the men were cutting kobold's necks, Parum and Kyra did their best to convince the townsfolk to leave their current fortifications. Once Parum had cast her spell, soon someone answered from beyond the door, demanding further proof of her allegiance. But as soon as Kyra spoke, they called for help with taking something out of the way and soon noises of large things being moved echoed from the inside in rivalry with the smashing of the front door. They got the presumed barricade out of the way quite quickly and Falconmoon opened the back door. "Let's hurry then", he suggested.

Meanwhile, Lake had ran into a problem of his own. Nothing his remaining spell slot hadn't solved though: As the party and their rescued people in tow returned to him, they could find five kobolds on the ground, charred by Mr. Lake's Burning Hands. "[color=teal]That's all my spells down, then[/color]", the man mentioned almost casually, joining the villagers as another non-combatant.

You now have evacuated the temple and quite possibly killed all of the kobolds, depending on what the kobold slaying squad writes into their next posts.

On your return trip, you will have to roll stealth again, still advantaged if following the same route.
