The party finishes breaking their fast. Ostler refuses Effric's offer of coin, but his goodwife takes him aside and thanks him for it saying, Most of the travelers have left and this morning the normal batch of farmers coming by to trade talk and break fast here were no where to be found. I've heard that the people think you've brought back a dark priest from the Temple of Evil and that ceremony last night was a black Mass. We've tried to reassure them that he's just a cleric from another religion but they fear witchcraft and elemental evil. Simple folk with only the trees or the Cudgel to relate to. Ostler and I have seen many travelers in this inn and heard many things, but merchants might tell tales but they don't scare off the people like that fellow did. Hopefully, our business isn't ruined and they begin to return when you all go. We might need Jaroo or Terjon or both to come bless this place before we get people to come back though...
The party departs the Inn, discussing their spoils along the way. They go to the tower of Burne and Rufus to tell them of the trip to the Temple. The happy couple come out when they hear from their guards that you've arrived.
What news do you bring?, Burne asks. Rufus looks on grimly. I hear you have a dark priest that you've captured who made quite a stir at the Inn of the Welcome Wench last night, he continues with a chuckle.
