Yolande looked at the terrified woman, then around at all the wooden buildings of the village.  It wasn't a large place, so it was hard to be sure how large a warband this might be... but she didn't like the idea of facing it all alone!  There was no time to rush back and get reinforcements... hopefully other adventurers were on the way, but she couldn't be sure.  So bold, these goblins and orcs!  Where was the army?<br/><br/>"Do you have any idea how many there were?  There are?"  She didn't like facing them all down, but things couldn't be left like this.  "Can you gather everything, and run away?  Go back along the road, and wait... yes, they might still burn the village, but... it will be hard for me to protect everyone."  She looked back toward the lake.  "I will do all I can, but... if you stay here, you must not let them burn you.  Understand?  That achieves nothing... your barricade doors don't help if they can burn your homes down from outside."<br/><br/><br/>If the people wouldn't leave... "At least soak the wood, make it hard to light!  If everyone sets up a bucket line to the lake, maybe we can have your homes wet enough to buy me time, while I fight."  If the men were all injured that would slow things down, but still... Yolande would help, and maybe they could make things more difficult.  Yolande didn't know what to expect... if it was a small group she would simply fight them, but a large group, she imagined working around the edges of the village and taking out a few orcs or goblins at a time while they were trying to set fires.  It would be easier if she could fight beside the villagers, but obviously the greenskins would have thoroughly beaten anyone capable of fighting....
