Regar "Alright well if anyone needs healing let me know. I do agree we should head back."

Grubnick pats Hunner's shoulder. This will greatly help the people. Do you want me to take care of that? he askd, gesturing to Hunner's injury.
=== Looks like Srill/ Hunner is the only one with more than 1 or 2 hp dmg

Without the fog to confuse the way, it's fairly simple for the party to find the trail and head back to Finn. They return within a couple of hours, and it is still late afternoon by that point.

It is now Tenth Watch (4 PM).

"Why don't the rest of you guys get some rest. I'll report the news to the mayor. Tomorrow, we can head back to report the news to the knights," Ravarie says.

"All right--sounds fine," Kori says, stroking Habbakuk.

Grubnick will join in the report to the Mayor and afterwards seek out the injured soldier who gave them the info in order to let her know the threat had been destroyed.

While Ravarie and Grubnick head for the mayor's house, the others head for the inn.
Ravarie and Grubnick find Mayor Aveline at her place, sitting on the porch and petting a cat on her lap. "Ah, you're back," she comments when the pair approach. "And much fewer in number, I see. I take it then, it did not go well."
Back at the inn, the others step inside and find they've beaten the dinner rush. Right now there are only a few patrons, and they recognize some. There's the wounded knight, still by the fireplace. Chatty is bending the innkeep's ear off with her stories of the haunted forest. Keyle is there, as well, heavily cloaked again to hide his features.

"No, actually, we took care of the threat," Ravarie says. "I just sent the rest of the group back to the inn as I didn't see the point of all of us reporting back to you," she explains. "Was there, at one point, a elven druid living within the forest?" she asks.

Grubnick finds the comment a little odd. Did the mayor's comment and posture seem a little.. dispassionately unconcerned? Does she seem relieved by news of the threat's elimination? Maybe I'm being overly suspicious

"Hello, Chatty!" Kori greets. "We were able to banish the spirit that was haunting the forest--it turned out to be a wichtlin--which I always read as 'witchlin,' so I was pronouncing it wrong all my life. That's a little embarrassing."

"Thank you friend." Hunner shake his head. "...I am fine for now. Let's keep your divine power, if something will suddenly worse the situation. And if nothing happens, it nothing few good rests won't heal, eventually" He say and would see if the others would agree to pass through the duerger house, so he could pick his stuff. If not, he would try to find a time later.

Regar for now keeps to himself thinking over what happened out there to the other dwarf and laments his actions...

Ravarie and Grubnick From what Grubnick can tell, the mayor seemed to expect the party to fail just as the knights did. She seems quite surprised to be told otherwise. "You are certain?" she asks, getting up. The cat is forced to jump off and moves to another part of the porch to lick its paw. "That's great news! It means we can finally reopen the trade routes, and start sending the lumberjacks back in!"
To the Kagonesti's question, she answers, "Well, I imagine so? The Southern Forest is about 15 miles wide and 50 miles long. There are probably entire tribes of elves in there. Or were, before it became cursed."
Hunner, Kori and Regar "Wow, what's a wichtlin look like?" Chatty asks. "Did she have anything interesting to say? What was she like? I wonder who decides what these things are named. Or did she name herself? Or maybe it's just whoever discovers them gets to name them? I wonder who the first person to discover wichtlins was?" She continues to rattle off a dozen or two questions, never waiting for an answer before moving on to the next one.
Hunner had previously gathered up all the gear he left behind back in the forest. He is now severely encumbered.

"The reason why I ask is because before she became undead, she was named Treesong. She had multiple grievances, but the reason why she took over the forest was to protect it," Ravarie says. "The villages, according to her, were overusing the natural resources of the forest. As a druid myself, I feel it is my duty to make sure that isn't the case."
