This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Tailine will keep an eye on the rear as the group continues forward. She's feeling better now that the river is between the group and... whatever that was, but still watching for pursuit of any kind.

Current Characters: Tailine, Tiefling Rogue 2 - Zanoliv
Estellen: When you activate the pendant you feel that the other is "close".
Tailine: As the group continues onwards you notice nothing out of the ordinary back the way you came.
Quilqwen: Several people come to you, and you have to prioritise who needs the healing you provide. As you wander around with detect magic active you notice 2 things, 1) Violet seems to have something magical in her pockets/backpack, and 2) one of 2 red-haired gnomes has something around their neck.
All: It takes the better part of the day, but you do eventually make it to Deford town as dusk begins to approach. The town is quiet as you get closer, with very few people on the streets or farms. Several people from the group make their own ways into the town as soon as they are close enough, but well over half just follow the party, not knowing what to do.
Violet gathers everyone just outside of town, but then goes and looks for the innkeeper. Upon finding him, she'll ask, "Oy, who's in charge of this place? We got a bunch of rescued people who need help and probably new homes."
Upon noting the gnome children ”Are you Gaeryn and Rayna?!? Your father will be quite happy to see you. He was very worried when he found you were taken.”
"So. What do you all plan to do about that thing? It is still out there, and will most likely continue to rampage unless we can stop it. What is most concerning to me is that it seems to be unaffected by our magic. I believe that it would be beneficial for us to head to Shifty, perhaps we will find some way to improve our chances against this beast."
Quilqwen: They nod solemnly, The male gnome staying silent. The female gnome speaks quietly, "I am Rayna, and this is my brother, yes. Thank you for getting us out of there, I dread to think what would have happened if we'd been caught by that... thing." She begins to lead her brother away in the direction of their home, she turns back, taking something small out of what remains of a pocket. "I know it's not much, but it's something. May it bring you luck, as it has to us". She places a small, familiar pendant on a silver chain in your hand. (this is the other pendant of finding)
Doc: It's not hard to find a merchant. They no longer have anything shiny or of obvious value since the attack, but have all equipment you would expect of a merchant.
Violet: A large, clearly strong man with a kind face is cleaning tables as you enter. One thing that strikes you straight away is how empty the place is. Only a couple of people are here, and they're all drinking alone. The man looks up, throwing a large cloth over his shoulder as he makes his way closer to you. "I am, and it'll do you well to be a bit more polite. The houses have all been fixed up, so they can all go back home now.... Thank you for bringing them back"
Still rattled from what happened during the rescue, Tailine will look around to see if Strife has turned up in town yet so she can tell him what happened and see what he knows.

"Yes we should discuss plans Estellen. I would first like to see to it that all of these people are cared for. Could I see the pendant that Sil gave you?"
Violet rolls her eyes at the big man, "Yah yah, no worries. Just making sure that they'd be taken care off. Later." Violet then walks out, however a few steps after she's exited she mutters in an annoyed tone, "polite, ha!"
Tailine: With this many people around, and given you're still a little rattled, you are unable to find him at the moment. And that's if he's even returned yet.
Doc: You can now cast all your spells again (including those with material components as the components pouch has all the basic bits you need)
"Thank you." Quilqwen walks back to the two gnomish children hurrying to catch them on their way home. "Gaeryn and Rayna! You are very kind to offer these to us. But I want to make sure you can always find each other. I fear there are troubling days ahead." As he speaks the Aarakocra slips one pendant over each of their heads. He then escorts them home and warns Scilynsmir of what has occurred and refusing any attempts at reward. Urging him to make haste in leaving and heading for somewhere safer and further away. "I hope that our travels bring us together again...in more peaceful times." He then goes back in search of the others.
When the survivors disperse Jatrin ask the birdman "wth happened at that camp before we arrived how come you where the only one breaking out the survivors when there was 3 of you scouting."
(was waiting for people to respond to each other...)
A large number of people slowly make their way into town, but there's still about a third that just stands around awkwardly. The setting sun casts long shadows onto the town, in about an hour it''l be dark once more
Violet, having returned from the inn/tavern, spots the people just standing around and sighs, getting over to them, and stepping onto a crate/soapbox (lol), she bellows out, "Hey! I talked to the head honcho of this place! He said you lot can stay! So stop mopping about and rest! If you want to feel bad about what happened, go get a drink or cry! Standing around doing nothing isn't gonna change anything!"
With no sign of Strife around, Tailine will circle back and see the large group of people standing around. Growing up in the sunlight must make people's brains soft. These people have the survival instincts of a flock of sheep. She'll smother a snort of laughter at Violet's yelling, quietly agreeing with her sentiments.
"I'm guessing you folk aren't from this town?" she'll say as she steps forward- not entirely sure why she's bothering with this. Maybe because keeping busy means you don't have to think about what in all the hells that THING was back there."Let's figure out where to put all of you and what to feed you."
She'll busy herself getting people settled, unconsciously glancing back the way they came in a paranoid way.
Meeting back with the others Fin replies to Jatrin "We should find a place we can talk. And perhaps eat." Quillqwen will inquire at the inn if there is a private dining room they can use, if not he will take what ever table will fit the six of them and is the most private. He will also ask that food and drink be brought for them all. Once everyone is settled he recounts what happened to him. "The three of us" gesturing to violet and Tailine "snuck as close as we could to circles of rocks. When we could no longer get closer with out revealing ourselves I changed form to that of one of the rats we saw with the goblins earlier. I though i could get closer and learn what was happening. But an orc grabbed me almost immediately and tossed me into a cage with other rats. I did not think they would lock up the animals they work with. It is a very odd thing to do." Realizing that he is getting off subject "Anyway, they put me in a cage with the other rats. I changed back to my normal form and escaped letting the rats loose as well, hoping they would cause some distraction. I found another cage nearby with people in it. Once they were out I sent up my first signal hoping you all would be able to come help them. As we all made our way out of the camp away from the stones I continued to find more cages. We got as many people out as possible but I still failed so many."

Doc helps Quilqwen tend to those in need, then looks for a nearby merchant once in town.

Doc will pick up a component pouch at the local merchant's.

"Of course, your concern is admirable."
Estellen then hands the pendant over to Quilqwen.
As the pendants are brought together, they begin to be attracted to each (like magnets), slightly sticking to each other if put next to each other.
Quilqwen
"Thank you." Quilqwen walks back to the two gnomish children hurrying to catch them on their way home. "Gaeryn and Rayna! You are very kind to offer these to us.
