Hey all false alarm. Later than usual, but I expect the busy day has been moved to tomorrow probably.

Some few made it all the way to Bexley on their own, but may not be so lucky and never reach any safety without help. There's certainly other pressing matters, but you won't just abandon those survivors to die.
So at Darry's direction, Montez and others can venture to the region of Eindward to try and locate anyone they can, anyone who haven't already found shelter. To this end there's also the matter of Claus and other experienced foresters like him who could immensely help with the search and rescue effort. Firstly the simple fact that he refuses to return from the wilderness to face punishment, but furthermore that if you do punish him then he won't be able to assist in the rescuing effort. Not to mention that if you take action against him for his attack on an elf (half-elf or otherwise) then you're bound to draw ire from others in the populace.
It annoys you, both by your own godly nature and as the new leader of a hold such as Bexley, to not be able to deal out what you consider to be just punishment. But your priority is and always will be to people suffering, so you may have to postpone any such punitive actions if you want any survivors to be found and brought to safety.

For Darry to organize a rescue effort and Montez to lead it, is one thing. But as well you have to deal with the incoming refugees and thankfully that's where Sir Tyne comes in. Having been busy with the church this last month or so, he's seen the restoration of the people's faith well, and the capacity to welcome outsiders in for as long as it takes to find their feet again. Although you could personally see to this yourself, it would take away from your investment to the lake. And really, you're suited to heal people's wounds and fill their hearts with your love, but when it comes to actually providing food and a roof over their heads, you're a bit lacking in ability.
