Four-Armed Troll's DEX save: 15 

Ceo and Petcan's spells don't seem to harm it as much (for 1 reason or another), Randall disorients it with a strike from his mace but his spiritual weapon misses, Bow's 1st bolt hit's it square in the chest and it drops in a heap into the bonfire as his 2nd shot goes over it's head.

The Four-Armed Troll is dead.

There are a few miles through open plains to reach the city of Laurentiis. Whether it's luck, divine intervention, or the Goblin Hordes have other matters to content with... the Refugees of Garrum go unmolested and arrive at the gates of Laurentiis.

(Everyone can now level up to level 5.)

Petcan wipes the sweat from his face and pours some water over his face to try to clean off some of the grime of the past few days. “I know it’s far from over, but… I’m still thrilled we’ve made it. And I want to keep helping. Who’s in charge?”

"uhhhh, dude, I think we are."

"Now, now, I don't think we will be in charge in such a large city. however, let's find out who is after making sure the refugees are cared for."

Randall:

As they approach the city, Randall makes sure the refugees are in as good a condition medically as possible, while still keeping an eye out for goblin scouts.

You are greeted at the gates by a small unit of cavalry, about 2 dozen mounted soldiers, led by what looks like a captain in some sort of oddly shaped armor, perhaps ceremonial. There are several wagons loaded with supplies of all sorts, clothing, tools etc.

The captain unrolls a scroll and reads from it, "The heroic adventurers who helped the refugees are welcome to Laurentiis. We regret to inform you however that the refugees cannot enter the city at this time of imminent war. They are directed to move south of the wall and along with these supplies (gestures to the wagons) and more wagons with foodstuffs will shortly arrive there. We regretfully apologize for these trying circumstances in dire times."

The refugees begin following the wagons south of the wall.

Randall:

Looking at the captain with concern, Randall says, "But there are hordes of goblins headed this way.  Surely you can't leave the refugees exposed outside the walls without additional protection.  What is your plan in the event of an attack?  Will the army ride out to meet the goblins, or will the townspeople be brought in behind the safety of the walls?"

Leaning forward and speaking more softly to the captain, he adds, "You would not leave them unprotected to be slaughtered out here, would you?"

Insight to understand what is going on here:  26

“You’ve got supplies, but no space? Is it at least fortified in some way? The southern wall is directly in their path!” Petcan’s voice is more plaintive than belligerent.

"I do regret these unfortunate circumstances but I am only the messenger. The defense of Laurentiis is paramount right now. If your concern for the refugees welfare is genuine then I advise you to enter Laurentiis and seek passage south for them on various ships."

“Great, so we can go in now? I have some things I wish to do.”

Randall:

Calling over the refugee leader, Randall says, “Mayor Reeve, what do you propose?  Do you want to stay with your villagers or come in and try to book passage for them, or something else?”

"Brother Randall, you take our treasure from the Hook Horror while I see if I can figure out why four goblin hordes would unite to attack Laurentiis, yeah?"

"Ceo, I'd like to go with you" Grim says "I don't see any way to fight that many Goblins unless we figure out what is going on"

Ceo nods to Grim and then turns to the captain;

”I will need access to any libraries you have, an audience with the highest authorities in this city, and  to find a college.”

“Wow, you guys must be pretty rich, I don’t have any money for stuff like that. I think I’ll be lucky to book passage on a ship.” Petcan scratches his arm a bit nervously

"I was thinking more along the lines of talking to people. Asking around if anything has changed recently" Grim suggests, a little concerned about Ceo now

"I don't have the money but if these people want their butts spared I need to be able to figure out what on this earth is going on! Now, are we going in or no?"
