“I do believe the others and I are up to the task.” Moneo says “though we aren’t exactly trained, equiped, or compensated, properly for a really tough job that should be handled by the town guard normally... is there anyway you could spare some healing potions perhaps, in case we get hurt?”

The captain considers for a moment. He says, "Well, I can't spare any extra supplies tonight, but if you come back after it's done, we'll compensate you accordingly. Provided you bring proof of your success, of course."
“Sir.” Moneo says. “I’m sure we’re up to the task. I’ll report back with the others when the task is done.”
Now assuming it’s getting close to dark Moneo really doesn’t want to walk back alone, so will head back to the pub brandishing his harpy feather where he will tell the story of his brave acts, embellishing his part a bit ((performance 18)), to see if he can get any drinks.
Depending on his performance, and how much he drinks, he’ll attempt to wake up and head to meet the others as early as possible.

Moneotells a riveting tale, indeed. Even though Demetrios Antheas, the innkeeper, has already given Moneo and the rest free meals for helping Tolou, some of the patrons at the bar offer drinks to Moneo as encouragement to continue weaving his elaborate (and likely exaggerated) tale.
Moneoreceived 4 drinks.
MoneoCON saving throw: 13
Hyped up on adrenaline (and a little bit of fear at the thought of walking back to the farm alone at night), Moneo managed to fight off the four intoxicating alcohol that his admirers kept feeding him as the night wore on and he was able to wake up at dawn, just before day break with no problems.
What are the rest of you doing for the night? You may all hit the Long Rest button (whether you need to or not, it's a good idea).
Shaking off a bit of a hangover, Moneo grabs his things, grabs a quick bite at home, and heads on the road to join the others and tell them that they are officially in the pay of the town guard and that they should attempt to find this nest. While doing so he spends 10 minutes talking of the importance of their task, and how the town needs them, to inspire everyone for their upcoming day’s activities.
Inspiring Leader Feat - Everyone (including Moneo, and the farmer just for good measure for today) gains 4 temporary hit points :D Please add them to your sheet.
"I'll be next," says Aeneas. He looks over at Damara. "I know what you meant. I'll take it as a good sign that you feel it too," he says, then lies down to sleep.

The night passes without incident for those of you taking Watch. It was almost too quiet, though. Each of you, as you sat in the home, keeping an ear out or looking out the windows, you notice that most of the noises of night are silent. You realize that even though the harpies didn't attack, they must not be far away.
The following morning, Moneo arrives with the news that Fort Pharagax will reward you if you bring proof that you have not only discovered but erased a harpy nest nearby.
((I added the 4 temp HP for anyone who hadn't, yet.))
It is now morning after you all have reconnected and you're sitting around Tolou's open kitchen area eating the breakfast that Selene made for everyone. While serving the plates, Selene says, "I wanted to thank you again, for everything you all have done for us, already. And, we can't have you fighting off a nest of harpies on an empty stomach. So, make sure you eat up."
"Yes," Tolou adds. "My wife and both of my children are safe, and will be, thanks to you. After you're done eating, I'll take you to the place in the road where we were attacked."
Moneo digs in to the breakfast, still feeling a bit fuzzy from the night before. In the morning he talks to the kids as well telling them a (rather highly exaggerated) story of an encounter he had at sea so they believe he’s more capable than he is, and that he and the group will easily be able to take care of the harpies so they wont have to worry about anything else again. He then grabs his things, pulls his pen out of his pocket and spins it around his fingers a few times ready to be on the way.

Damara finishes her meal, muttering a quiet thank you to the family before grabbing her pack and greatsword, walking outside and wandering a little ways from the house, looking around the area for anything of interest as she waits for the others. (Perception: 15 )

If you think my puns are bad, I'll remind you, my profile pic says otherwise.
Damara eats slowly, watching the interaction between Tolou and the rest of his family with a ponderous look on her face.
No one really notices. Damara has become so accustomed to feeling like she doesn't belong she almost subconsciously makes herself invisible (not literally) when she doesn't want to be noticed. Only the most astute of a group will notice her noticing everyone else.
She notices how the children react in awe at Moneo's stories. They sit there, their attention rapt, as he tells of his high seas adventures.
When the stories were finished, the breakfast was eaten, and everyone's equipment packed, Tolou leads the party out of the house and up the road, further away from Pharagax Outpost and closer to Akros. The walk is occupied by small talk and chitchat.
Along the way, Damara notices the random critter skittering out of the way and into the green brush at either side of the road. The foliage along the way goes back and forth between thick deciduous forest to sparse trees with some underbrush that would be easy enough to navigate through.
After what feels like an hour of walking, Tolou stops. You can tell that he's become a bit nervous, his eyes shifting from side to side apparently looking for danger. Steeling himself, though, he points at a break in the foliage in front of you. It looks like a deer path heading into the woods. "This is where they came from," he says.
Aeneas steps forward. "Thank you and your family for your kindness last night," he says briefly to Tolou, before saying a quick silent prayer to Kruphix and walking quietly towards the foliage.

Assuming the whole party is following suit, you all walk into the brush and follow the path. After just a few minutes (maybe 10 or so), you arrive in what looks like a mangrove forest. The air has become a lot more humid and you think you can hear water flowing nearby. Not too far in front of you, you see a hole in the ground at the base of one of the mangrove trees.
Aeneaswalks on with more confidence. "Let's rid this place of this vermin," he says to the group.
