Leaving the harbor and the spectators, who slowly get back to their business, the party's first stop is the Bitter Blade, where they can use their remaining healing resources for the day to tend the wounds of Kylest, Aylor and Kordunn.
Afterwards their destination lies in the center of New Phlan, the council hall. The city council is most pleased to hear of their success, and they receive the promised reward of two-thousand-and-five-hundred gold pieces, including the bonus from councilman Cadorna, who receives the group together with the brawny von Urslingen.
“Your progress is most impressive,” Werner von Urslingen says. “We can only hope, that you plan to continue on your success, there is still much to do.”
“Yes, yes, much to do, indeed,” Cadorna chimes in. “But I'm sure our friends here will require some rest now. We have heard of this most dramatic culmination of your trip to Thorn Island. I'm glad to hear, that this creature couldn't stop you. How anything can survive inside the river is beyond me, however.”
