Editing The Dragon Cult (section)

=== Staging a rescue ===
Screams of townsfolk can easily be heard from the outside, though it is impossible to estimate how many people are inside. The backdoor can easily be unlocked with thieves tools.
*Townsfolk are near panic, requiring DC15 charisma to take 'orders'. 
*Arth Smartwhisk, the priest of Pelor, is very glad to see them and looks to them for a plan. He offers to heal obviously injured characters.

Town is of the essence, as the front door is being taken down. 
*The door has 30hp
*Every 10-30 seconds the door is hit for 1d6hp
*At 20hp: Cracks large enough to see through
*At 10hp: Door is sagging in its hinges
*At 5hp: Door can go at any moment.

If the evacuation is not going, enemies will go for townsfolk first, group 1 pouring in first.
*A kobold automatically kills 1 villagers every round. 

If the evacuation is going, the players can easily block enemies from going after the villagers and close the door on them.
