Storm King's Thunder

With such a strong representation, Solace looks from you, to Morak, to the people. 

"Very well," she relents. "We won't kill them. We'll leave them be with the understanding that they will never again take up arms against us. I am prepared to make that deal as the ranking representative of the Lord's Alliance."

"That all that is asked Solace"

"I think you'd be wise to talk to Beedo about a more symbiotic relationship. They can bring in wild game in return for crops or other things. It will keep the lines of communications open. Also, it would be good for both groups to be able to be an early warning system if the giants and orcs keep raising trouble." 

Now that Beedo isn't being threatened Marav has visibly relaxed.

"I can't make that kind of deal in good conscience," says Solace. "Trusting the goblins is a bridge too far, in my book. But...we can see how peace goes, in the short term."

Angel let’s out a sigh of relief once Marav relaxes and and a mutual understanding of not killing each other has been reached. 

Flint walks up to Solace. "It's a start lass, no one's askin' ye ta bring 'em inta  yer  hall fer  dinner. Take it in time, watch how it goes an' be ready ta  be surprised. Ye'll stand taller fer  it."

The Tiefling Paladin nods resolutely. 

The widow Delfryndel, who has been watching with tears up til this point, explodes with rage and grief. "I can't believe what I'm hearing! These evil monsters need to die for what they did for my son!" 

She runs towards the front door, sobbing into her hand as she pushes the massive oak door ajar to the outside.

The atmosphere in the gathering is hardly cheerful. The villagers are either somber, set-jawed, or saddened, to the person.

"Most of them have paid for it. Come on Beedo, lets tell the Brightcaps what was decided." Rip is going to escort Beedo to the caves, don't want any of the upset villagers trying to enact some misguided revenge.

Beedo quietly follows Rip out under the stares of the rest of the village. The widow Delfryndel has already crossed the bridge and is sitting, hunched over, on a bench just outside the windmill. She is crying loudly.

"Boss, Beedo didn't eat anyone," the goblin quietly says to Rip. "But...this what humans do when humans get eated? Goblins usually just laugh, or sometimes just attack the eaters. Those sounds are not nice to Beedo's ears," he says, indicating the distant, crying Renarra. 

"yes but humans are an odd sort, and talking them out of killing ones that might have been eaters was the point of this. Also, you're not supposed to like that sound Beedo."

“Well, this has sufficiently been awkward” Angel says breaking the silence and then announce to the crowd. “Okay everyone, the truce has been called and no more violence should happen. I suggest everyone goes home and get a good night sleep. It’s been a long day but The Dawn will bring a new day.” 

Angel will then look at Hiral and say “I suggest you go console that woman. The people will be looking up to you, as the religious figure around here, to comfort them and set a good example. Do not mess up this opportunity for peace Hiral. I feel like it’s needed now more than ever.”

//On to Waterdeep? Someone mentioned horses?//

The crowd eventually disperses to their homes and the inn (Morak has given his rooms to the displaced villagers). 

In the stables you will find the seven Zhentarim agents' riding horses, fed and watered, tethered alongside the horses belonging to others in the village.

After getting Beedo to the cave Rip explains that they are to leave the peoples of Nightstone alone. doing so is they only way they survive. once he feels they understand he'll head back to Nightstone.

"So what's the plan? Go to Goldenfield or whatever it was called then do the favor for Morak, or favor first then Goldenwhatsit?"

"We need to go to Waterdeep, resupply, get the news, then on to Goldenfields on the way to Triboar. I'd like to see about getting some enchanted weapons for each of us. Doesn't have to be much but some of these creatures deeper into the continent will laugh off our plain metal blades."
