Galen snorts. "There is always a choice. When faced with a choice to do evil, one chooses not to do evil."

"You've traded the lives of children for the life of a rat." The disgust in Galen's voice is obvious.
To his companions he says, "I must put right this wrong. That is my choice. I would be honored to do so fighting at your sides. I cannot but help detect Pelor's hand shaping the events of today."
He turns back to Ghelve. "As for you, collaborator, your crimes aren't mine to punish. It is now likely your life is in danger and that the life of your Starbrow is forfeit. If you have a list of locks which you have compromised, I suggest you bring it and whatever belongings you need to put that misdeed aright. Then, accompany us back to the Cuthbertites, and I'll see if I can convince them to offer you sanctuary."

Konstantine nods. "Yes, Galen is right. You certainly are not safe here, and the clerics will be able to organize what needs to be done to replace any locks that still remain. If there are still people on your list that have not been kidnapped, they surely will be soon if they don't take precautions."
Konstantine looks around and notices that know one has moved to stop the skulk's bleeding, so she attempts to do so herself.

Ghelve sadly nods in acceptance of Galen's judgment. "Yes, you're right. Perhaps those at the Church of St. Cuthbert will find it in their hearts to show me mercy." The look on the gnome's face shows that he doubts the likelihood of that. "If nothing else, perhaps they can protect me from the retribution of these kidnappers. In any case, it bodes ill for Starbrow, that's sure."
"I do have a list of my customers, but it's very long. It will take weeks, if not even months, to change all the locks. Perhaps it would be better to take matters directly to the culprits, and put a stop to their kidnappings? I can show you the entrance to Jzadirune if you wish."

As Ghelve speaks, Konstantine and William look to the fallen skulk, noting that it still lives, if barely. William successfully applies direct pressure to the skulk's wounds, and the creature seems now to be stable, though still unconscious.

"Well done, William. Things are looking up. We'd best get to the temple swiftly to make sure this thing stays alive." It is obvious that the bard has other thoughts as well, as she winces from her wound.
Konstantine then turns to the locksmith. "I suppose, goodsir, that you are right. It would be hard to get all the locks changed. But you should get your list anyway. At the very least the clerics will be able to get started, spread the word, and do what can be done. Maybe they can move people into establishments that have other locks. Perhaps after we have met with them you could show us to this Jzadirune entrance."
"I think you also shouldn't worry too much about the clerics. No one," the bard glances at Galen, "could understand how terrible this situation was for you. I've never had a familiar, but you clearly care greatly for Starbrow. And you might never had made it to tell someone if you tried to run, since they had someone guarding you. In fact, you did what you could and helped us find this one. What more could the clerics demand of you?"

Hanging in there. Better than the alternative.
As William turns, he sees a small figure in the doorway. No, it's not a child, for she definitely has the face of someone a bit older. There stands a halfling in leather armor, looking at all of you curiously.
"Are you the adventurers I've been hearing so much about? Her eyes peer at each one of you, especially Konstantine." She holds up a flask, bearing the symbol of St. Cuthbert, "I understand this might mean something to you? I'm Dowlee Meriweather--I'm a follower of Ehlonna, though, not of Cuthbert." She smiles lightly. "I was hoping you could use my help in helping some children?" She looks past you, "Although it looks like you have things under control for now, at least..."

William gazes open mouthed at the small figure before him a moment and then his manners take over. "Ah..pleased to meet you. I am William Baker, Paladin, at your service." He adds a slight bow. "I suppose we are the 'adventurers' in question, though in truth my quest is to do good in the world rather than find adventure. Of course the two often go hand in hand..." He seems to realize that his is rambling and looks at his companions not sure how to proceed.
