Kayla Rallies the Villagers
Subject: Flight into Darkness, and Telwyn's Revenge
Kayla sees Telwyn and the dead barbarian. "Good shot," she mutters under her breath. At the same moment, realization hits. The inn's roof is beginning to flame up and all her group's possessions are in danger. Kayla recalls seeing a well nearby, between her and the menacing black cloud.
She debates whether to involve the townspeople hiding behind the inn. On one hand, it seems safe out and the extra hands would certainly improve the Inn's chances. On the other hand, she'd be risking humans for material goods, which bothers her terribly.
She grits her teeth. This outpost is the last stop before entering wilderness. She and her new friends need to push on.
Resolute in her new course of action, Kayla grabs a bucket near her right inside in the Inn. Soapy water sloshes on her leg as she runs to the townspeople waiting behind the Inn.
She pulls herself up straight and she reaches them. "The Inn is burning. Act quickly wi' me to save it from these raiders' fire. If'n you have a plan, use it. There are buckets right inside. Les' show'm we won't let 'em destroy us." Kayla brings forth all the emotion she can to convince these townspeople that the Inn is worth fighting for.
