The council deliberates for a short while. They come to a decision.
Mytch, the Miller speaks: We haven't the means for keeping this new master for long times. We aren't Verbobonc and haven't its oubliette nor its gallows. That said, the Lord Viscount of Verbobonc allows this fair village and this council the authority to run itself as we see fit, including the meting out of justice. Therefore, we will execute this prisoner by the sword. He will be allowed audience with Terjon or Jaroo to seek absolution before he is lead to the rear of this hall and is put to death by the sword.
When Terjon and Jaroo try to speak to Lareth, they are rebuffed with spittle and crass words. The prisoner is lead outside and Terjon says a blessing over the sword of Elmo's father before it is plunged into the heart of the evil cleric. Lareth dies with a curse on his lips, claiming that the Temple of Elemental Evil will rise again and destroy this village and all good in the land.
You return to the Inn of the Welcome Wench, which is much more sedate than any other time you've spent there. The meal is hearty but there is no joy in it. Your rooms, service, and drink are on the house.
When the smithy, Brother Smith, is approached by Tavin and Effric about their requests, he says that he can't even begin to make those: shurikens may as well be an Orcish word and he has no experience with silver smithing. He points you to the traders, related to the ones you saved, who are still in the village. You find an exotic armorer there who gives you a discount. He produces twenty throwing stars for the monk for 10gp and has a variety of silvered daggers, from dirks to Bowie knives, for the druid, although no bullets. He sells them at a deep discount, a mere 15gp each, in thanks for rescuing their friends.
