Luka rescues another pair of villagers and is then joined by Val and Unbar, and things start to move faster, with villagers moving from ledge to ledge before being escorted out into the forest to join Vic, Daphne and Big Ron. Isaril keeps watch from the hill above. One fellow, a dwarven male, "Morak's the name! The inn's mine an' proud o' it I am!", does the escorting.
It takes quite a while* before all the surviving villagers are rescued, but eventually they cluster outside:
- Their apparent spokesmen, Morak, and the villaage priest (Hirel),
the Delfryndel Family - five humans spanning three generations who own and run the mill),
the Hulvaarn Family - five humans, potato & turnip farmers. The young twins hide behind their mother),
the Nesper Family - teen broher and sister, hold each other tightly. Thier parents, who were pumpkin and squash farmers, and their older sister, Sylda, were taken away by the goblins,
the Osstra Family - three male wheat farmers,
the Summerhawk Family - Taela, a halfling apothecary, locked in her own grief, just comforts her four young children,
Destiny Agganor, a female tiefling, stands silent and very alone.
What next?
