"You could come in and talk to her with me.  I can't imagine Zevlor wouldn't let you in after your help."

The middle aged armoured tiefling walks up, and he must be Zevlor. "Indeed I will. I wouldn't turn away anyone who chose to help us."

(He is very obviously a paladin.)

Cayden hates paladins. They're so judgmental. But he can Do His Best To Be Tolerant. 

"Thank you!"

Now he and his party can go inside the gate.

Inside the gates, there's a grassed area. The adventurers and one of the wall tieflings are having an animated argument about the location of, and their responsibility for,  someone called Halsin.

Past the grassed area is the cave itself. It's pretty crowded. There's far more people in here than there's meant to be. There's a significant chunk who are wearing druidic garb, but the majority of people here are road weary tieflings.

A group siblings argue about leaving. 

Some children are running around playing a hiding game, while another set are practising sword drills.

Down a set of stairs, there's the sound of ritual chanting.

Cayden is going to be good and wait to find out if they're going to see Nettie before he goes to play swords with the little kids.

Wyll is heading towards the chanting, which seems to be where Nettie will be?

They are all being watched so intently by the kids.

Cayden somersaults into a leg split handstand and then walks on his hands for a bit. For the kids. 

The kids love this. 

Wyll is smiling. "I take it you were an entertainer in another life."

"I like the kind of fighting where you don't get hit better than the kind of fighting where you get hit and you're good at taking it, and this has side benefits."

"They're certainly good side benefits."

As they head down the stairs towards the chanting, they also get closer to an argument.

"She's just a child--"

"She's a thief, hellspawn."

Cayden doesn't have to ask questions about who he wants to stab in this particular argument. 

(But he's Not Going To. Probably.)

At the bottom of the stairs is a group of tieflings facing off against a group of druids and a bear (who may also be a druid.)

A tiefling woman sounds closer to tears. "At least let us go see her."

"What's going on here?"

"We caught one of the tieflings--"

"My daughter--"

"Stealing the idol of Silvanus."

"Isn't that Zevlor guy in charge here? Why are you arresting a kid?" 

"Zevlor and his people are here as a temporary courtesy. This is our land, and our laws rule."

Oh no politics. 

(What he should do is leave this conversation before he gets mad and suddenly there are dead druids on the floor, because dead druids don't help anyone. He... is strongly considering doing this. Maybe.)

(It's really upsetting how many situations there are that aren't solvable with murder.)

He looks helplessly at Gale.

Oh no, he's having to do politics while it feels like there's an angry badger in his chest. "I'm sure we can sort out something favourable for all parties if we can speak to your head druid, and maybe Nettie if that's possible--?"

"You were the ones fighting the goblins at the wall?" A druid asked. "The head druid Kagha wishes to speak with you." 

The tieflings visibly do not like Kagha.

"...I think we should see Nettie first and then we can talk to the head druid or anyone else you like." Because meeting Head Druit Kagha means a high chance of stabbing Head Druid Kagha, and he wants to be a good role model for Astarion about only murdering people if it doesn't sabotage any of your important life goals. 

The druids and bear wave them through.

Several druids are chanting in a circle around an idol on a plinth, and there's a growing green glow?

Also, inexplicably, a foppish dressed human watching proceedings.

There's a side chamber containing a pair of druids talking to a child, and another druid treating a jay with a broken wing next to a drow corpse on a table. 

Cayden is refusing to see anything or hear anything until he has talked to the healer. 

The healer seems to be the woman with the blue jay. "I'll be with you in a minute." She casts a spell on the bird, and then turns to face Cayden. "What do you need?"

"I and my party were kidnapped by mind flayers and had tadpoles put in our heads. We would like to not turn into mind flayers."

"...I see. We've had a few cases of that around here. This one--" she nods to the corpse on the table "attacked us with some goblins, and when he died a tadpole crawled out of his eyesocket. Master Halsin went with those adventurers to investigate. If he's not back-- I'll do what I can."
