Etienne

Oh, crap! I'm no hero, Etienne thinks, as he sees the gang. In trouble, he takes refuge in deception: "Guards! They are down this way! Hurry!" He waves his arm as if leading others forward, hoping this will distract the thugs and break off their attack, but just in case . . .

Untrained Knowledge (local) (1d20+2)[4] (EDIT: Ha, ha, ha! I think this will establish Etienne as being introverted and somewhat reclusive, obtusely ignorant of local politics and local goings on beyond the most obvious knowledge like the recent wave of kidnappings.)
Bluff, trying to make them think the guards are coming: Bluff (1d20+4)[10] (EDIT: and yes, that's not much better.)

I think Bluff is typically a full round action (at least) by RAW, but if not, I'll also ready an action to Shatter the weapon of the first thug to come within range (25').

Did – did my voice really just crack?? He realizes how poorly this is going. I'm no hero.
