The goblin grunts as first Coinstone and then Ciara hit it and then slumps over, dead. Now the party is left standing in a young boy's room with the dead.
End initiative

Where is the lady that led us here? She waited outside with her children after pointing you to the correct room.

Coinstone takes the blanket off the goblin and uses it to cover the dead father. We tell them the truth, lying won't help anyone. But we keep the details small, and try to keep the family out of the room. Fidgit, you have keen eyes, will you look into the closet. I'm going to go and get that priest we met, Father something or another.

Figit nods. Right, we need to make sure there aren't any other surprises waiting for this family. She walks to the closet door and looks inside.

Figit finds a hole in the floor of the closet that the golbin obviously hacked open. It leads down to the crawl space beneath the house. Nothing living remains in the small space, only garbage and bones of small rodents.

As Coinstone leaves, he runs into Amele and her children. She looks at him expectantly and asks if they've gotten the creature and where her husband is.

He whispers softly to her, He's in the bedroom with the others I came with. You should keep the children out here, Gygax and I are going to go and get the priest. We're.....I'm sorry. He wasn't a soldier, he didn't need this.
He then moves away, breaking eye contact and will ignore her if she tries to continue conversation.

Amele's face falls on hearing the news of her husband. She starts to wail loudly, creating a large commotion in the street and several neighbors start to come over.

Figit tries to offer some comfort to Amele, but becomes flustered with all of the humans coming over. She settles for a small pat on the arm, then follows Ciara out.

Coinstone finds it rather easy to navigate the streets to the cathedral. Father Zantus is praying at the altar when he arrives.

Father....Uh, priesty man. There's this family that could probably use some priesting. A goblin from the raid was livin under their house, got their dog and the pops. Leavin the mom and two kids. They..um...we killed the gob, but haven't told the mom or kids yet. Thought maybe you should be around. They're not soldiers, don't think they'd handle it well. Coinstone stands awkwardly in the back of the church, his helm in hand, shifting uncomfortably as he speaks. Once done, he shifts as if to go, but then waits for Father Zantus to respond.

Father Zantus looks up when Coinstone begins speaking. He listens carefully, and nods when Coinstone finishes. "So there is a family in need? And a man was killed? Can you take me to them?"

Amele's wailing continues to draw a crowd. Some of the people look over at Ciara, but do not approach. Several of the neighbors attempt to calm the woman and one runs off to get the Sheriff.
He returns several minutes later with Sheriff Hemlock in tow.

Figit makes her way through the growing crowd to Sheriff Hemlock. Sheriff, this woman's husband is dead. There was a goblin under the floor of their house and, well, you can imagine...

Aye, let's go. And quickly, the woman is in a bad way and it's begun to get grating. She needs to get her shit together and see to her kids.
Coinstone turns and leaves, hopefully arriving shortly after Sheriff Hemlock does. Either way, he simply points to the woman (probably needlessly) and then moves over to stand near Ciara.
Any change? he asks.

Sheriff Hemlock begins to talk with Figit as Coinstone arrives with Father Zantus. "I was hoping we'd be done with our losses by now. I assume that's why she's guarding the door?" Hemlock gestures to Ciara. "Let's go in and have a look around. You lot made sure there were no more in there, right? Probably best to do a sweep of the neighboring houses too. Just in case any more of the blighters are still lurking about."
He heads to the door.

Father Zantus quickly apporaches Amele's side and speaks to her in a low voice, trying to calm her down.

Right, sounds like we've work to be about. You go left, I'll take right? Coinstone says to Ciara, heeding Hemlock's words.

Seeing Ciara's nod, Figit leaves the sheriff and follows to the left with her hammer ready.

The sheriff watches them go before heading in to the house to deal with the bodies. Father Zantus succeeds in calming down Amele and leads her and the children back to the cathedral.
The party spends the next couple of hours with the citizens of Sandpoint, checking homes. No further goblins are found, but all the residents are extremely grateful to the heros for ensuring their safety. They offer small gifts as well as food and drink as thanks.
At some point, Sheriff Hemlock finds each party member and requests they come to his office and report after the search is complete.

Figit enters the sheriff's office. Well, no more goblins that I've found. I do hope we've seen the last of them in town.

Any offers of extra recompense Coinstone will direct towards Amele and her family. Any coinage, he will keep half and take the rest to Father Zantus to give to Amele anonymously.
Entering after Figit, Coinstone says None from the houses I checked? You sure this isn't a problem you'd like us to check into? Figit and Ciara seem competent enough that I wouldn't mind having them beside me, and I haven't even seen the terror lizard fight yet.

Sheriff Hemlock waits until the whole party arrives before starting"I'm glad you didn't find any more of those blighters hiding. Can't be too careful though. Father Zantus took the family in for now and I hear tell they'll be heading to Magnimar to what's left of her family in a few days." He scratches his head before turning to address Coinstone directly. "It's good to know you're so willing to help, and I'm sure you'll get your chance. But I'd still ask you to wait a couple more days or so before heading off. My scout should be coming back into town in a day or two to give me the lay of the land, and then you'll know more about which goblins the trouble is coming from. If you wouldn't mind just visiting with the townfolk and calming nerves, I'd appreciate it. Don't know if you realized it, but you're heroes here."

"Where do the townsfolk gather this time of day?" Either finishing up their work, at home, or in one of the taverns" Hemlock responds. It's getting towards evening now.

I mean.... if it's for the good of the people..... Coinstone looks pointedly at the others while gesturing noncommittally.

Figit nods. If we need to stay in town, we may as well enjoy the evening. Besides, I'm sure Peetree is bored back at the inn.

Ther sheriff informs the party of the names and locations of the different taverns in town: the White Deer, Risa's Place, Cracktooth's Tavern, the Hagfish, Two Knight Brewery, Fatman's Feedbag, and of course, the Rusty Dragon. He suggests that most of the locals will be at the Feedbag or Cracktooth's, and leaves it up to them to decide where they want to go. He again promises to send for them as soon as his scout returns.
It's up to you guys if you want to play out a tavern visit with the locals or not. Otherwise we can dast forward a couple of days.

Two days pass without any word from Sheriff Hemlock. Many of the residents stop by the Rusty Dragon to get a glimpse of the heroes and thank them for their help. Other than that not much happens in Sandpoint, as is typical for this town.
On the third day, a messenger comes, requesting the heroes of Sandpoint come to the Sheriff's office right away. The scout has returned and there is news.

Figit grabs her gear and goes to the sheriff's office. Peetree comes along, desperate for some excitement. The dinosaur has been growing antsy and bored while the party waited for the sheriff's scout.

Coinstone follows as well, anxious to be about something useful and dangerous, he is pulling on his armor as he walks.
