//Is there anywhere Jorji can go to get a vantage point to look for nearby goblin activity?//
It's still dark, and the moonlight has now faded into the gathering clouds overhead. Your best bet right now would be to sneak around town. You can specify anywhere you'd like to go on the map you'd like to go!
Depending on how familiar you are with Nightstone, you might know the way to Nandar Keep (where the High Steward lives), or to one or more of several different farms or residences (The Delfryndels, Osstras, Southwells, Hulvaarns, Agganors, Nespers, or the Xelbrins), the trading post, or the windmill.
Seviari looks at Rip and asks "Can you see if Beedo knows how many other goblins there are in town? We may need to forget about the bell and try to get out of here while we still can."
"Beedo can talk to other people, stupid elf," said the goblin. "Beedo has ears. There be...maybe..ten? Or thirteen? Um..." Beedo begins to take ample amount of time pointing to himself, then to several imaginary beings in a semicircle. Then he shakes his head and starts over, counting quietly, "One, two, three...uh, one, two three, four, five..."
"I never said he would like our conversation" Rip replies with a grin "you can ask him Sev, Beedo isn't an invalid. Answer my friends question please Beedo, how many more goblins are in town?"
"I never said he would like our conversation" Rip replies with a grin "you can ask him Sev, Beedo isn't an invalid. Answer my friends question please Beedo, how many more goblins are in town?"
Beedo stops counting at Rip's words, and then starts counting imaginary figures in front of him again, this time with renewed concentration, "Uh, one, two, three..."
"I greatly apologize Beedo, I did not mean to offend." Seviari will bow slightly as a way to show his apology is sincere. He rises and says "Personally, I say we do some exploring. We have a town here that was obviously attacked with most if not all of the inhabitants gone. Perhaps we can find some clues nearby? Or perhaps even more treasure?"
Jorji is a gnome ghost, darting from rock to rock, passing unseen by the Inn before laying his eyes on the Southwell farm and farmhouse, just to the north of a large barn & stables. The farm consists of a muddy, fenced-in yard, containing wooden feeding troughs and chicken coops. Two goblins are running around the small farm, chasing after a pair of chickens that escaped from one of the coops.

The goblin puffs up even more proudly and smiles as Seviari bows towards him.
The barn just to the south has a muddy dirt floor, and little goblin tracks run inside, up into the hayloft. The barn has a dirt floor, and there are about 10 horses inside, still confined to their stalls that line the walls of the barn, and all very unsettled by the goblin presence. Or possibly by the hole in the ceiling, made by the large rock now embedded in the middle of the stable floor. Water droplets from the earlier rain are still dripping sporadically from the roof through the hole.
Hanging on the walls of this barn are bits, bridles, and leather saddles. Two wooden ladders allow easy access to the hayloft, where there is lantern light and the sounds of a creature rummaging around the loft.
// BTW if any of you have followed Jorji out of the temple, and are trying your best to be quiet, go ahead and roll a Perception check. If you want to fabricate a meeting between yourself and Solace somewhere in the vicinity of the Inn & Temple area, that's fine too. //
"hey Beedo, if the bell stops will the other goblins come here?"
"Um... I dunno. We just liked the sound!" says Beedo, happily examining his incense sticks. He licks one, then makes a disgusted expression and tries to wipe his tongue off with the back of his hand.
At that point, Solace arrives with a strange woman. Solace, you see a 10' by 20' room, lit by a single torch that has been stuck into the dirt floor. There's a 10' alcove set into the back wall, where Flint is now hanging on the bell rope and causing it to ring loudly. The floor of the room is littered with straw, clothes, priestly vestments, and some implements of worship, including a silver holy symbol in the shape of a unicorn head. Rip is conversing with a goblin, who is holding incense sticks and licking his hand.

Not wanting to risk raising the alarm on his own, Jorji continues to the next area, with the intention of making a full circle.

//Solace and Kella are trying to meet back up with the group at the temple isn't that where the ring was ringing?//

// Sounds good. Rip and Seviari, are you coming out of the temple? Flint, are you still ringing the bell? //

Yes, Flint stays on the bell until we're all together.
