Seeing the drake fall dead, watching the gnome trying to wiggle out and seeing Mallick slip off the barn roof (all a rather interesting scene to see unfold), I take a deep breath and decide the change my tactic on the door. I compose myself, dust my armor off, clear my throat and lightly tap at the door, slowly...(tap... tap... tap)
"If there is anyone in there, we'd like a word with you about your drake problem and the address of the craftsman who built your doors."

The drake lets out a wailing screech before collapsing dead on top of Brocc.
The gnome manages to wiggle free of the lifeless body and starts wiping the blood off his clothes.
Nicodemus finally hears a voice from within the cottage "Are they all gone?". When finally assured that all the drakes are indeed dead, the man of the house unlocks the door and opens it cautiously.
The family within is of course abundantly grateful for your help, as are the other villages that have started to trickle onto the scene. A crowd of admiring teenagers and children gather around Sledge and Nicodemus and start asking them questions about being adventurers, asking to see their cool flaming sword, etc.
A few young ladies are helping Brocc clean the blood out of his garments, and one even offers to take his cloak home with her so that she can clean it properly.
Landis, the farmer you just rescued, is helping Mallick up and calls out to the villagers "Go fetch the healer, this man is hurt!". Landis is also nursing a bandaged and bloodied hand, but is trying to downplay his injury. "The nipper got two of me fingers, but I'll be OK. My family is safe, thanks to you, and that's all that matters!".
The healer shows up a few minutes later and tends to Mallick and the farmer.
During all of this commotion a distinguished, middle-aged man approaches the group and introduces himself as Mavros, the leader of the town elders. He thanks you profusely for battling the monsters and asks to speak with you in private if you have the time.

Mallick looks at all the girls surrounding his brother Brocc, then looks at the dead drakes, then looks at his swords covered in blood and his body covered in bruises.
He shrugs his shoulders and says "I need a drink. Anyone else here need a drink? A flagon of liquid chuckles for the Ranger. Chop Chop!"

Mavros is it? I am Nicodemus. I have questions of my own. Lead the way.
