It just took the time for the older Doctor to look away from the corpse and for the three to focus on the volley for the body to wake back up. When no one gave her much attention, Trance was actually quite quick and stealthy when she needed to be. With the way that things go, the choices to be made, Trance trusted that Luke would make up for any reckless plans that the Doctor went for.
She couldn't fight multiple people or really defend carts and people. What Trance could do is draw attention and help with that scaring thing that John wanted to do and ease the workload of the real powerhouses. Enough talking and distraction should give someone better a chance to save those people.
"Or," the blonde declared loudly as one of the shooting bandits slowly passes out to the ground, the purple tail unwinding from his throat. He wasn't dead, but no one would know that until they checked. It was getting the attention that she wanted first, as she steadily walked towards the leader. Even if a bandit shot towards her, she wasn't going to flinch away from her target, or even dodge out of the way. They would either miss, or she'd catch the arrow with her hand or tail. What better way to scare them than with a demon? Despite how cute and inquisitive she was with Luke earlier, this was a tone much darker and with an intimidating weight that hadn't been witnessed before. "I can drag you all to a very, very bad place where your souls will face a dark punishment and your families will be cursed. Cursed with the consequences as they and everyone will know what you did, and that it's their fault. They'll be outcast, unable to support themselves in any way or allowed to earn their keep, until the shame and loneliness slowly and ultimately drags them down to us as well.
"Unless, of course, you really do care about your families. Then you can call off the attack, tend to the injured and clean everything up. If you finish helping with the harvest and explain the situation, some will be shared and no one will go hungry. Of course this is a limited time offer, and it's going fast."

Please let that be more than enough of a decoy.
