Tallis speaks up, "We have a couple of problems before we can just leave. We need to feed all these people, we need to carry the food, and we need to carry those who are not fit for a march. Not to mention shelter, and preferably better clothing than these people have. The enemy must have supplies somewhere around here. Either that, or we make this place safe enough to wait until others arrive who can do those things."
"The other issue, as I see it, is we have maybe a few hours before whomever is left in here figures out something is wrong. We leave for any length of time, and we're sure to come back to an empty cave, and whatever other hints might be in here long gone. The prisoners are the most important thing, but I don't want to lose the opportunity to hurt this cult beyond just this one bunch."

Out of character: Wow you guys are really moving in the last 24 hours! Hope I don't miss anything important Velon could have done in the cave.
Velon has two tasks in mind. One is to approach some of the women, being as kind as possible and offering aid where needed. He'd like to ask them if anyone is from Dawnrun and if they know what happened to the men.
Velon also approaches Poljen. "I feel strongly that we should clear out the rest of this place. We may learn more of the cultists, or be able to take out another of their 'doctors' while we have the chance. I'll stay behind with any volunteers if you must move with the prisoners."
Out of character: Did we officially destroy the dragon viles? It seems important. Velon would also like to take one from each dragon if possible to keep. He might be able to show them to one who is wiser than he.
An older woman rescued by Mari tells Velon that there were some women from Dawnrun when she first arrived, but that they're all gone now.
None of the prisoners seem to know what happens to the men in each group.
Out of Character: vials have not yet been destroyed, though intent to do so has been stated. Fay already grabbed a single vial from each container.
To everyone, the prisoner release will continue without a hitch, feel free to assume everyone is relatively ready to move whenever you decide on a course of action.

Looking at Velon, Lia nods. " I agree with that. We should clean this place out before leaving. From Fay's description earlier there isn't a lot of enemy left. We have already killed most of them. Hurt them as much we can. We must hurry though. "

Poljen listens to Tallis, nodding. "Fair points. Hmm." He thinks then says, "They may not like this, but will they be willing to stay here, perhaps even in the cells but unlocked, while we head deeper and destroy the enemies here?"
"Poljen, that may be too much for em, but ask we can. If we do, I recommend we have me Lady Mother ask. They may take it better from her. We could also have them stay in the entrance chamber, at least that isn't here" Fay says, waving his hands at this vile place.
Geoffroy will make this as an offer, saying to the others of the Blaze, "My squire and I can watch over the prisoners at the cave entrance or nearby better hidden away, and if there is any trouble Elyr will be sent to find you." He felt this was a suggestion that could work.
Though he did not explicitly say this, the cleric was making this suggestion in part because he knew it would allow his sister to be better involved in things. Yet this was also because he wanted to help calm and speak with the prisoners to get picture of a few things. Still, if his companions had better ideas, he would listen.
