Current Situation
The battle is over. Orcs and bandits lie dead in the streets of Nightstone. We're wounded but victorious.
Immediate concerns:
- The flying snake escaped - Kella's messenger got away. Someone will know what happened here.
- Our horses ran off during the fight - we need to find a way to call them back (a whistle?)
- [Loot needs to be divided]({{< ref "dividing-the-spoils" >}}) - Ring of Jumping, 1,056 gp in currency
- We should rest and heal
Open questions:
- Why did the orcs attack? Was it random or targeted?
- Did the bandits know the orcs were coming?
- What was Kella really doing here? Who was she reporting to?
- What will the snake's master do when they learn the bandits are dead?
- Is Nightstone safe now, or is there more coming?

Questions to Discuss

- Do we rest first or investigate immediately?
- Is anyone left alive in Nightstone?
- Is Nightstone worth staying in, or do we move on?
