OOC: I assume the question about the plan is directed at the merchants and not anyone else?

(OOC: Yes, he's asking the merchants if they will be okay on their own now or if they require further assistance.)

The 2 Merchants accept the money and nods their heads eagerly "We can't thank you enough for saving us from being eaten by that ogre." the both say. "We aren't really sure where to go to next, maybe Nulb, maybe we will go to Etterboek we're not entirely sure yet just thankful to be alive."

"We're staying at the Welcome Wench, if you need anything further," Daos tells them.

"Aye, and we'd appreciate it if you could keep quiet about our prisoner for now. There's no telling who might be listening and what they might do if they realize we've got Lareth in custody," Roshek adds.
Once the merchants head off, Roshek suggests that the party should bring Lareth to Burne and Rufus. They have the means to hold the cleric and their support so far indicates that it's unlikely that they would be agents of Lareth's.

"Makes sense. And they're big heroes, so they're probably trustworthy," Daos agrees. "Besides, they were the ones who asked us to look into the matter in the first place."

Tristen nods silently. The interrelationships of these townsfolk were unknown to him and the rest of the party likely had a better handle on it

The group decides going directly to Burne and Rufus's tower is the wiser decision not knowing who is eyes and ears for this cult that Laereth leads. Heading to the tower the workers continue their work the only people that pay the group any heed are the guards working for the two local heroes. A pair of them approach and ask "What do we have here? You guys escorting in a prisoner? What's the crime if you don't mind us asking?" Laereth rolls his eyes and mumbles something about simple minded something or others.

"Just taking another highway bandit to justice," Daos says vaguely. "Are Rufus and Burne in?"

One of the Guards nods his head "Yeah last we knew both were in the tower."

"Thank you, and keep up the good work," Daos tells the guards. He gestures for the others to head for the tower with Laereth in hand.

Tristen goes along, keeping an eye on those nearby

Roshek keeps a close eye on Lareth as the party heads for the tower.

At this point both merchants head off to the tavern/inn trying not to get in the way of justice. Hekras and Q decide it is best to stay outside of the tower and keep a lookout on others that might be watching the group as they take Laereth in to be jailed by Burne and Rufus. The rest of the group goes in their prisoner in tow. The usual greeting by the guards at the entrance and inside you are not asked to wait, as per usual. A small contingent of guards including the leader of the mercenary band acting as local police come down to take Laereth down to the holding cells in the dungeon below. Following them not too far behind is Burne and Rufus with serious looks on their faces.
Burne "Good work, it is rather commendable. But this too is also concerning. That ruin was supposed to be long abandoned save for the bandits you turned in eariler. It was merely rumor and some strange events that lead us to even consider sending someone to check for some sort of return of the evil cult. Now you come back with this man clearly wearing the symbol of a most evil god indeed."
Rufus nods his head as Burne talks adding "We plan to question this man we'd like you to first tell us what you learned from him and in the ruins. Come with us upstairs where we can ensure that nobody can eavesdrop on the conversation."

Tristen will move to follow if the rest do, though he dislikes enclosed spaces. Once inside he will let them know of how many guards, gnolls, zombies etc were observes and the number 'dealt with'. He will also report the encounter with the bugbears. The descriptions will be as consice as possible and just shy of rude in their brevity. His hands will never be completely away from his weapons
