Yishim voices his agreement with Jarel-karn's assessment, but Toeto knows little about such matters. In any case, she's just happy that the plague has been cured, however it was done.
The party spends the remainder of the day resting after such a brutal fight. In that time, the guards re-open the poor quarter of the city. There are a good deal of bodies lying in the streets, which is a very sorry sight for anyone who sees it. Even more people wander around the district with tattered cloths, still in a state of shock from the sudden relief of their madness.
The guards are rather disorganized after the death of Vahl. It's not at all clear who is in command; Vahl liked to micromanage her troops, and her authority was unquestioned. At the least, they clean up the fortress and give the Commandant a proper burial at sea. Others, hearing the cries of grief from the poor quarter, make patrols there without orders as they look for any way to help.
For the next two days, Toeto leads the party back to her tribe in the swamp. The lizardfolk have indeed returned to their normal forms. Not a raven in sight. The lizardfolk immediately ready their longspears upon seeing the softskin heroes in their swamp, but Toeto and the priestess, Sliska, calm them down before any violence breaks at.
The situation at the tribe is not so dire as in town; the lizardfolk have already organized themselves into some sort of hierarchy. Priestess Sliska has assumed leadership of the tribe, the old Chieftain having been killed in the final wave of madness that struck the village. Still, there are several new graves in the town.
Toeto recounts her deal with the heroes to Sliska. The priestess considers it a fair bargain - the life of the village in exchange for its treasure. Sliska orders a hidden cache of buried treasure be unearthed, and the party is soon confronted with a huge, heavy chest full of gold, gems, and other plunder (likely taken from Cay Harbor in the lizardfolk raids).
"I... I don't think I'm cut out for this," Toeto explains as the heroes collect their treasure.
"I'm so, s... so nervous, when fighting with you all. I'm so af-fraid that I'll do s-something wrong, and, and..." She sighs and tries to start over.
"What I mean is, I've decided to stay here. Now that e-everyone is back to n-normal, I don't need to fight anymore. I don't want to."
After the party finishes gathering their treasure and saying their goodbyes, they can return to Cay Harbor at their leisure and find a ship ride back to Daunton.
GM: | Thanks for playing in Rage of the Savage Lands, everyone! I hope you enjoyed the game, despite my poor balancing of encounters and my long delays in posting.
The gold reward from the lizardfolk is 4050 gp, which I'll assume you split evenly. 4050 / 5 = 810. Also, you each pick out gems and other plunder worth an amount equal to your time gold.
