Your whole plot is scrapped. Now the campaign will be about how the PCs spend their gold on ale and whores. Tough blow for the DM, man!

Players: would you have acted tactically or gone for broke? Would anyone read this if I started a Story Hour for it?
Just make the BBEG really just a henchman for the true BBEG. Whom you can now design.
Seriously, you can keep your plot (mostly) intact, just by dropping clues that this villain they defeated was only part of the problem and leading them to the real threat.
