Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I'm just going to reuse this post as I think it still applies))

"R-right!" Ambra would shout, a bit dumbfounded of the chaos going on around them. "I'll try get people to safety!"

Ambra could feel her adrenaline begin start pumping again, causing her distraught emotions to momentary subside. She surveys the seen around her to look for people to help and a safe place to lead them.

As the soldier ran off to continue fending off the enemy to buy you time, Dwalin would begin to search, leading the way for the rest of you. Keeping a keen eye open, he would soon spot a young couple that were taking shelter in an alley between two buildings! You're able to guide them out of hiding and into shelter in a moment of quiet.

Successes 1, Failures 0

Aelgeirr saw another injured person while this was going on further down the road; someone that had been attacked, but the monster was driven off by the soldiers who gave chase to it. Aelgeirr is able to get to the man, who's leg was pretty badly torn up, and carry him quickly enough to sanctuary where he could get treated.

After that first set, the group continues the search. It was Ambra this time who heard a little girl, hiding in a crate. She turned out to be a fellow Tiefling, maybe 7 or 8, who had no problem being coaxed out by her kin and guided to a shop that was now doubling as a bunker.

Mikah was on overwatch it seems, and was more focused on the enemy and not on helping people. And there were plenty of monsters to shoot, she saw no people in her vigil, so no progress was made in clearing the streets.

Next round, go!

Aelgeirr effortlessly carried the man back to shelter and went off in search of more. The Eladrin had contemplated other approaches, but he doubted his knowledge of history would be useful right now. So....more lift and carry as needed.

Mikah, the faithful seeker.

The ranger realized that there where too many creatures to handle them by force and decided to redirect her attention into the survivors. The ranger figured it would be best if she helped any survivor to avoid the creatures and leading them into safety.

((roll for stealth 1D20+9= natural 20!))

The Eladrin felt that shifting and shuffling people back really began to take it's toll on him. He instead tried applying first aid to people that could not make it back on their own and hoped that this would enable him to work faster and get more people into shelter.

OOC:
Results: 20 (Roll 14 +6 Heal)

Mikah, the faithful seeker.

After successfully avoiding the creature, and delivering the group to safety, the girl came back out to look for any remaining survivor, using all of her senses to find them.

((perception roll: 1D20+ 6= 15))

As the group continued their search, you felt that most of the population was safely indoors, save for a few stragglers. You are about to give up the search when you find one burly man who was pinned beneath an overturned cart, with the body of an abnormally large feline creature pressed up against it, slain by the town guard. He looks in rough shape, and you aren't sure how he'd survive once you removed the cart that was keeping pressure on his crushed legs; luckily, Aelgeirr is able to tend to the wounds quickly enough to ensure the man lived, at least long enough for you to move him to safety and to proper treatment.

Successes 8, Failures 1

Dwalin would encounter a young lad that had been separated from his family and was less interested in taking shelter and more with finding them. Originally mistaking Mikah for an older sister and coming out of hiding, Dwalin managed to convince him to not go back into hiding in the streets, long enough for Ambra to cajole him to join the other people she wrangled to get them all into the protective shelter of a bakery.

Successes 10, Failures 1

Finally, Mikah would take to a nearby rooftop, seeing naught but the town guard fighting (and losing ground) to numerous baddies all around - but no civilians. Your mission was over!

Successes 11, Failures 1

To anyone: How do you give the all-clear signal
To the group: What do you do afterwards?

Mikah: From your vantage point, you can see that the town guard + militia is beleaguered but still functioning, but they're tired and injured and there's far too many things to fight, even still.

Ambra was panting as she ran up to the rest of the group. She had spent so much time running around avoiding monsters and convincing others to go to safety her little lungs were quite out of breath. She tied to anwer the warlords question between breaths. "I...I...I can...sure." "The mage thrusts her staff up into the air and launches a flame bolt into the sky where it then explodes into a fiery display. "Will...will that...do it?"
