Without waiting for each and every elf to evacuate the area, reaching Bexley was your immediate concern. Traversing the battlefield was difficult, and gaining access to the town even more difficult... mainly the trouble of trying to convince the defenders up on the walls and of the nearest gatehouse, that yes indeed you are humans not spies or traitors, and furthermore that the enemy has indeed retreated and this isn't all some big ruse or trap.
Well that, or that the defenders don't have much left in them to deny you or repel any serious effort to enter town. You don't know if it was the siege or simply the hardship of living on the frontline of the war, but you almost wish you hadn't come... having to see this. Even the moment upon making it through the damaged gate, having to navigate and step over bodies of dead and dying soldiers and civilians alike. Blood and disease filling the crude streets and ruined buildings, among those huddled survivors of the outskirts and those desperate residents.
It's a heart-crushing sight for you, although the people here seem... well they aren't happy of course, and certainly they are suffering, but they seem used to it. Same as your companions, apparently this sort of thing is all too familiar to them, and in the case of some like Darry have experienced it before. As far as you can tell, the town itself is not even occupied, just a burned or collapsing ruin which hasn't seen dwelling in years. The only reason anyone is even out here, it seems is because of those few survivors who escaped the elves and came here. "Bexley" proper, as it stands and functions, is really only the castle it seems. The only structure able to withstand the constant attacks, while everything else outside it has fallen to pillage and decay.
It makes you wonder, if you hadn't gotten involved in the battle outside Eindward, would that town also have ended up this way? You don't wonder for too long though, because there's so many people in need!

>Try and relocate everyone to a better, and safer place. You can't afford to stay and tend to each person, if the elves could return later.
