Aemon is startled by Amber's request but quickly recovers and halls back slapping her soundly across the face. The force of the blow leaves a very distinguishable hand print on her face.
Gathering your wits, you run off in the direction of the front of the temple, but not before Aemon slaps Amber to keep her motivated. Almost immediately, Jazz climbs over the temple wall instead of running along side it, I'll try the back door!
Jazz Strength(Athletics):1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Jazz slips on the stones and falls hard on his butt, Keep going! I'll catch up!
Distance to the temple yard: 90ft
Distance to the temple's front: 110ft
Distance traveled Round 1:
Aemon - 30ft
Amber - 50ft
Conner - 60ft
Larissa - 60ft
After a few seconds of running there are a series of more crunches and the sound of something moving and creaking. It's safe to assume the breached doors have been opened.
Distance traveled Round 2:
Aemon - 60ft
Amber - 100ft
Conner - 90ft**
Larissa - 90ft**
Rounding the wall Amber, Conner, and Larissa see a group of 4 kobolds run inside the temple, as 2 kobolds hang back with 2 cultists, and their leader.
Conner & Larissa may take 1 action and/or bonus action (they used their movement)!
After the surprise is over, the round begins at the top! Everyone is in the yard of the temple, Amber is 10ft in front of Larissa and Conner. Aemon is trying to catch up and is 30ft behind Conner and Larissa out of sight behind the wall.
The leader draws a scimitar and holds it at a downward angle above his head, in a classic fencing pose. He moves between the other cultists forming a three man wall blocking the doors to the temple.
How many can you save, I wonder? They're just kobolds, but against scared families waiting to be saved you don't need much more than a rusty dagger!
There is 20ft from the front of the temple (where the door is) to the front gate (where Conner and Larissa are). The cultists are at the door, 20ft from Larissa and Conner. Amber is in the middle 10ft from both groups. Aemon still has 30ft of wall until he's between the gates.
The two kobolds are not with the cultists, they are 5ft forward and very wide such that they are 15ft from Amber and 20ft from the front gate.
The deft swordsmanship throws Amber off as she tries to land a blow with her greataxe.
The remaining kobold picks up a stone and leaps into the air, leathery wings unfolding and flapping wildly to keep it aloft. Fluttering over Larissa it cries, For Mother! and drops the weight.
The kobold's weak arms buckle a bit as it tries to toss the stone, and the rock lands 8 feet from Larissa in such a sloppy arc that she didn't even attempt to move out of the way.
From inside the temple you hear the sound of screams and the yipping of kobolds.
Conner and Aemon may act!
Conner is 20ft from the melee with Amber, Larissa, the cultists, and the cultist leader. The winged kobold is 10 ft above Larissa, a total of 20ft from your location. Aemon must move 30ft to get to the spot Conner is at.
Just a reminder, you need to specify when you want to knock someone out - the default is killing them. This one is very obvious that you probably want him to be knocked out, but just for future reference.
Bad news! Conner already used his Action Surge against the cultists outside the tunnel. While offered a short rest, you have not elected to take one yet.
Conner's combination as he steps around to Amber's side knocks the cultist leader to the ground unconscious.
Morale:1d20 ⇒ 12, Advantage:1d20 ⇒ 13
In a bit of a panic the cultist opt to stand over their leader's body and strike back.
Conner is engaged with Cultist 1. Aemon is engaged with Cultist 2. Amber is engaged with both cultists. Larissa is 10 feet away with a flying kobold 10 feet above her.
I have audited my notes and removed Jazz, let me know if you see any issues. Part of my mistakes was a mix up in counting down or up in my notes. I have since made everything count down (so that 4/4 would be 4 uses remaining.
Larissa tries to let the kobold know it isn't safe in the air.
Fire Bolt:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10, Fire Damage:1d10 ⇒ 5
It, uh, was a warning shot...
EDIT: Regarding your notes, I actually don't still have my Arcane Recovery available. It's been used up. I'm currently just running on weapons and cantrips.
Remember waaaaay back during the night when we spotted that guy asking if we'd killed the cultists? I was on watch because, as an elf, I had already finished my long rest after only 4 hours. I blew a spell on mage armor right then, but then when nothing came of it and everybody went back to bed to finish their long rests. But I'd already finished my long rest, so for me the second half of the night was basically just a short rest. So arcane recovery got my spell slot back that morning. (And as you know, I have since spent my two spell slots: one on a fresh mage armor at 3pm, and one to roast that rat swarm.)

Thanks for the clarification - I am tracking it in my tag line now. I assume that when you looked back, you also saw that I used my Second Wind, or do you not recall?
Amber's ax cuts through the leg of a cultist who falls to the ground screaming. Larissa's firebolt whizzes by the kobold...
Kobold Morale:1d20 - 2 ⇒ (9) - 2 = 7
Who immediately flies away over the temple wall.
The screams inside the temple grow louder, there is the sound of a fight echoing out the doors.
Aemon & Conner may act!
The flying kobold is escaping, he's 60ft from larissa and 70ft from the rest of you and 20ft off the ground. Cultist 2 is engaged with Aemon and Amber. Larissa is 5ft from the temple doors, everyone else is at the temple doors. The interior of the small temple is about 65 feet deep.
Conner ties the broken body of the cultist leader tight.
Conner Strength Check:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
And drags the body 15 feet into the temple where he sees a terrible scene. The four kobolds inside the temple are running around trying to kill fleeing townsfolk who are removing the baracades from the rear door. On the ground are the bloody corpses of two women, a child, and a man.
Larissa and Amber may act!
The kobolds are 30ft from Conner attacking the unarmed citizens. It looks like the rear door will be clear soon. There is a crowd of dozens in front of the kobolds.
The kobold spins around when burned only to take a javelin through the heart. It falls to it knees and then its side.
The four remaining kobolds look back at the entrance and see their leader defeated.
Morale:1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 19
The sight spins them into a fury, turning back to the civilians and continuing to cut them down. With the panic trying to exit the rear of the temple, the kobolds can easily use their daggers to kill the townsfolk. Before you can act, the kobolds have killed 3 more villagers: an elderly dwarven man, two crying children, and a young man who already had a wounded arm.
Conner & Aemon may act!
Amber is about 20 feet from the kobolds, and is no longer raging. Conner is 30 feet from the kobolds. Larissa is 20 feet from the kobolds. Aemon is about 45 feet from the kobolds, and is engaged with the last cultist. The flying kobold has escaped.
Amber and Larissa run to protect the townsfolk. Larissa's quick strike takes down a kobold before he is able to continue the massacre, while Amber finds perfect footing to hack the final two kobolds in half.
Conner and Aemon May Act!
There is only 1 cultist standing at the entrance to the temple.
The cultist falls to Conner's longsword. The sound of battle is replaced with the waning panic of the townsfolk who have realized they have been saved despite some losses.
