Then turning to Morak, Ink relays to him what the party told him about the Zhents and that they were set free, the orcs who attacked later, and asked him about who in Triboar would be most helpful to spread the message about the possible giant activity. After the conversation, Ink will see to the horses while Quill keeps watch overhead.
"I believe the current Lord Protector of Triboar is a good sort...Darathra, something. Good head on her shoulders. Used'ta be an adventurer! She'd come through every now and again, a ways back, looking for excitement. Oh and ah," he pokes at Ink's hidden pin, "she won't be wearing one of those, but she's a friend." He winks at the elf.
"meeting isn't until this evening, take your time!" Rip hollers back at ink as he enters the temple
You see Solace in conversation with Hiral, the village priest. He nods in agreement with what she is saying. You overhear her as you approach, "...and we need to be sure she is buried with all the ceremony befitting a lady of her station. I assume the family vault has room for her corpse?"
In the back room beyond the temple pulpit, you can just see Angel cleaning up the mess that Beedo and Vark made of Hiral's living space. You think to yourself that it might be best not to mention who was responsible for that particular case of vandalism.
"Hey Solace, there's going to be a meeting this evening between the leaders of the newly christened Brightcaps and representatives of Nightstone at the keep and as the Lords Alliance member staying here I'd like you to attend. You're welcome to join us.... Hirial? if you wish. Okay then? Okay bye!" Rip says this quickly before doing an about face and attempting to leave before Solace can react
//Sorry was out all day... BTW getting notifications constantly had me going nuts to want to get back to this.//
Marav spends the day going from farm to farm. He would repair the broken tools as best be could, any plants that were salvageable he'd coax as much life back into them as he could using druid craft. He just quietly went from one farm to the other doing what he could. Growing up on a farm let him know the value of hard work and how much it would be needed in the days to come.
At the end of the day he ends up at the inn and gets the news of day from everyone. He is willing to go wherever as long as he is doing what is needed.
// Let me know when you guys are ready to proceed to the town meeting that you've called!
We'll run the meeting as a social encounter, so you'll each have the opportunity to present your arguments and potentially make skill checks to affect the outcome. Morak has warned you that the villagers won't take kindly to the idea at the outset, and those of you that have dealt with Solace know her to view goblins as vermin in need of exterminating. You will likely start heavily outnumbered in opposition of forming any sort of friendly relationship with the goblins.
If there's anything else you want to do before the evening, speak now! //
Once Angel is done cleaning, but before the meeting, he'll secure a place to spend the night and take a bath. Before the meeting happens he'll make sure to say his daily prayers.
Ink, after checking in, securing, and preparing the horses, and knowing that he's not going anywhere tonight, would check on the guards he first met. Both to see how they are doing and to commiserate the loss of their comrade. He tells them that if they e ever find themselves in Silverymoon to look up his old battalion commanders as strong shields and swords are always needed. And veteran experience will be welcome both in active duty and in teaching. Ink will write a quick prayer in Elvish and leave it with Kaelen's funerary.
//I wont be able to do the meeting stuff until tomorrow, have things going on tonight and don't want to suddenly go silent for a large chunk of MY meeting lol//
You find that Kaelen, like the other dead, is set to be buried in a common grave in Nightstone's graveyard tomorrow. The guards seem to appreciate your commiseration.
"Our first stop has to be Goldenfields by the way. It's on the way to Triboar." Marav states as he walks in the room. "They've had their own trouble with giants. Not far away."
in the time before the meeting Rip will try to get to know as many of the villagers as he can while handing out copies of his 'book', starting with those that lost loved ones to the goblins. Mostly to get a feel for what he will need to say or do convince them that at the very least there's been enough death, and to see if there's things he can get the goblins to fix. A few hours before the meeting he will go and Visit Beedo and the goblins to get a feel for what he can expect them to agree to, casting light on a rock like Angel did so he can see.
//Going full diplomat here lol. why did I give Rip lofty ideals? either way this will be an interesting issue of Rip Dangerfield, Adventurer Extraordinaire! and his merry band...//

"Brightcaps?" You hear Solace ask as you duck out of the temple.

Rip pokes his head back in "We put Beedo in charge of what's left of the goblins, I dubbed them brightcaps due to beedo's cap." then makes his escape

Ink seeing Rip run in, run out, then stop, run in and run out again, exclaims to him, "Oy, Rip, did Solace take well to your request?!?"
