I am all for buggering out if we can do it without being seen. heck, I am for it even if we are seen, but there better be some thick and dark woods if we wanna get away without them riding up on our rear.

OOC: Depending on how far away they are we might have time to drag the 2 guards into the house to try and lure the rest of them in. Galan has several oil pots which we could try to light and lob in from the back once they are in the house. That should take care of a few of them anyways.

Also, Galan was going to loot the bodies after checking on the woman but I don't know if he had enough time.

I don't know about simply murdering these guys in cold blood. They are humans, not orcs, goblins and the like that people are free to kill on sight. Killing the guards was borderline ok, because we were rescuing a woman. Just because these guys dress like the guards we killed doesn't mean they aren't village militia dressed just as ratty come to rescue the woman themselves.

I agree.. we really don't know the details yet and burning these guys inside the house might be seen as a bad thing in the eyes of my God.

Neville starts growing anxious; "Our hasty retreat is becoming less hasty. Perhaps if we keep the buildings between us and their line of sight, we should be able to make our way to cover. Unless there is another way out..."

He checks for any hidden doors in the floor of the house.

(OOC: did we close the front door behind us, or can the approaching group see into the house as well as we can see out?)

We have to wait for Lucky to come back and answer a few questions. We don't want to duck out the back if thats the way the riders are coming from.

O-kay...

Looting the bodies yielded 10sp, 5 on each guard, the big guy, 15gp and a set of fake bussiness plans.

You can't find any hidden doors in the house.

The riders are approaching from the south, they don't seem to notice anything, they're just riding up. Back of the house is the north, by the way.

You've got about sixty seconds, and yes, you could slip off into the forest if you wanted.

Thaddeus grabs a corpse and drags it into the room indicating that someone should grab the other. Then says, "10 riders approaching from the south. Their dressed like this lot but they could be anybody. If we hurry we can get away into the woods out the back door before they see us. He'll then toss the unconscious body over his shoulders and head for the back door and a quick escape."

Of course, he will wait to see if the others follow, and if the woman agrees to come.

Galan quickly grabs the other body and drags it into the house, shutting the door as he goes. "Aye, Thaddeus. Good idea. We need to get out of here as fast as we can." He will then head out the back door and towards the forest.
