Toc asks the Monk questions as they travel the rest of the way to town, "What can you tell us about what you learned regarding the cult? They were starving you, why were you willing to stay longer? What was it you were hoping to learn? Are they something more than thieves and mercenaries stealing gold for an evil patron god. The level of dedication we witnesses from a few of their followers was concerning. I would be very curious what you know about how they recruit and induct members to make them willing to lay their life down for a god that likely cares nothing about them."

Taviel felt that she would also look much better if she can spend at least a couple hours in her room (wherever that room would be - she trusted that either Nodwick or mayor of Greenest took care of the party's housing). But for now she listened what that famous monk they risked their lives for - Leosin, if she remembered his name correctly - had to say to Toc.

"I wanted to stay in hopes I could learn something more interesting than I had up to that point." The monk says with a sigh. "It was foolish, I realize that, but I just had not learned enough yet." He tells you what he knows, which is nothing you do not know already.
You continue on to Greenist and the mayor thanks you for what information you could bring back. He soon is closeted with the monk, leaving you to do as you will for the afternoon and that night.
"Please see me in the morning." The monk says to the group though, just before going in with the mayor. "I wish to thank you again, and have a request for you, but it can wait till tomorrow morning."
Let me know if anyone has anything in particular they wish to do for the afternoon/night. You have rooms at an inn in Greenest, paid for by the mayor.
Toc reports in with the local Harper contact, informing them what they know and arranging for message to be sent back to the Harpers at Baldur's Gate, and arranging for another message to be sent the other way to the Harpers at Scornubel. Otherwise he rests his feet, gets a good warm meal, and has a nice glass of wine, and gets some rest.

All Taviel needed was the rest. And the answer to the question where is blue the dragon, that so many people saw, but that was not present in the camp.
The next morning Leosin and Nighthill meet you in the common room of your tavern. The Mayor buys you breakfast. The monk looks still a bit worse-for-wear, mostly recovered from his experience at the camp, but not quite at 100% yet.
After the morning pleasantries are done with...
“After all you’ve done already for me personally and for the people of Greenest, I hate to ask anything more from you. But the need is great, and I dare to hope that you can aid me one time more. I need you to return to the cultists’ camp. You know your way around it now. If the cultists are preparing to conduct another raid, or a large body of them marches away, or if anything substantial is carried into or out of that cave, I need to know. If you have a chance to get into the camp and look around again, that would be the ideal way to spot anything that’s changed.
“I don’t recommend letting yourselves get captured,” he adds with a wry smile. "Will you aid me in this?"
Nighthill places a large pouch of gold on the table as well. "This is the payment I offered for the information you brought back from the camp already." He says. In the pouch is 250 GP for each member of the group.
Toc nods, "I'd intended on heading back anyway. It seems we likely have at least a couple more people to rescue in addition to learning as much about their plots as we can. Now that you're safe, I think we can return. Does anyone disagree?"

Taviel raised a brow - oh, we can? - but did not object. In fact, she even added "We did not do that much for the people of Greenest, and failed to retrieve your valuables. Granted, there is an army guarding your possession and I doubt we can do anything about it. We might want to take a look at the place again - after all, we still do not know the fate of the dragon that attacked your town. With army you can deal yourself, the dragon remains a serious threat."
There was nothing much to do here, and the only thing she would ask is the same wagon they used the other day - who knows when it can come handy (in her case - at first night-camp, she was not a big fan of communing with nature by sleeping on the cold hard ground).
Looking around to see if any of the townsfolk are close by before answering, "Yes very interesting. I can't wait till we get back to the camp to continue our investigation and hopefully this time we will get the chance to take a look inside that cave. I have a sinking feeling that is where that blue dragon is "hiding" out and I wonder if there might be more inside."
Toc nods his goodbye to the Mayor, "Thank you for the stay in the Inn last evening. Most gracious."
To the monk he nods, "Please stay in good health. Stay safe."
Toc wanders to the stables and visits his horse. "Sorry friend, I will be a bit longer yet..." he says in Elven. Feeding him an apple before making his way to Germain and Naroth. When he meets them both, assuming Alyssa and Valen are with them, he smiles, "You are as eager as I am. Let us go. Germain, shall you lead our way in the face of certain danger?"
Taviel contemplated the idea of taking her horse with them - after all, they could hire someone to look after the horses while everyone is busy scouting. But her vivid imagination draw a picture of a dragon eating her precious Mihris... No, she was safer in Greenest.
Since everything needed was already packed by helpful Nodwick, Taviel was ready to go.
Before the group leaves, Leosin says, "I will pay you each 150 gp for this task. Find me at the city of Elturel once your work is completed to recieve the coins." He pauses for a moment. "If I am not there you can speak to the paladin Ontharr Frume in my place."

While the others questioned the monk, Germain walked a little ways behind the wagon, watching for persuit.
"I wanted to stay in hopes I could learn something more interesting than I had up to that point." The monk says with a sigh. "It was foolish, I realize that, but I just had not learned enough yet." He tells you what he knows, which is nothing you do not know already.
There appears to be no sign of anyone following you.

Naroth would wander he town for a bit to see if anyone needed help cleaning up but then early evening he would retire to the tavern for the night.

Naroth pockets the gold, "Sounds good, will leave now." And then will stand up and wait outside for the others.
Germain will join Naroth outside after gathering his coin, "This is turning into quite the interesting investigation."
