"Is it poisonous? Is it turning black? Let me see!" Heal check:1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8
Sir Alfric's face blanches as he looks at the wound.
"Mai. I'm very sorry; but you're going to die of it."
"He says they will stop attacking 'horse-carts' on the road. A bit weasel-worded, I suspect, but the best we're going to get without slaughtering all of them."
As we leave, Midori notes "I am concerned about the whole 'letter of the agreement' bit. As it stands, they could legitimately still attack anyone who isn't in a horse-drawn cart and still be following the agreement. We should make sure the sheriff knows that."
She pauses. "Though I suspect he does. He's lived near these goblins all his life."
"He said 'Licktoads won't attack horse-carts on road'. Which does leave a lot of openings. Still, without fireworks, perhaps they will not be as bold."

Approaching the manor, Sir Alfric looks for trouble and tracks before approaching the door and knocking politely.
Perception:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 Survival (Track):1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 "Everyone look around; make sure his snake collection hasn't escaped again."

Sir Alfric grins.
"No such luck I'm afraid. On the other hand, I can report mission success! We have retrieved the remaining fire weapons from the goblins.
Is everything good here? No more dopplegangers I trust?"

Sir Alfric hugged his mount Zephyr and patted him on his flank as he nickered.
"I've missed you boy."
He turned to Walter.
"Thank you Walter; I'm in your debt."

Sir Alfric grins at Mai.
"Now Mai, you can stay here in the swamp if you want. With Master Walter's snake collection. And Soggy's children looking for revenge..."
Parvaneh is likely gossiping with Ameiko when the intrepid adventurers return (provided Ameiko is present). If not, then she is doing so with whomever is tending the Rusty Dragon in her place. Sir Alfric's entrance in particular gets the priestess to share a quirked eyebrow and a secret little smile with her conversational companion.
"Welcome back!" she bubbles. No doubt the company's had a rough time of it. Word was already getting around town that they had been to the sheriff, ostensibly to collect their bounty. "Let me buy you all a round on the house as thanks. It's the least I can do. And it keeps you here at least one drink longer to tell me eeeeeverything that happened."
Today she is wearing a pair of light blue breeches cut above the knees. Instead of wearing boots, her shins are bare and her feet are snug in a pair of sandals. A loose cotton blouse, dyed in a very, very pale lavendar, whisks in even the faintest breeze. She sits down across from Alfric and fingers the small butterfly charm around her neck, but her attention isn't necessarily exclusively upon him. She seems very happy to see everyone, the girls included.

Alfric looks at the newcomer with some interested curiosity.
"Your offer is very welcome Madame. To whom do we owe this courtesy?" He asked cautiously.
Mai replies with a bit of fatigue.
"Thank you, I could use a drink."
after chugging her drink down she let's out a sign of relief.
"That hit the spot, though I'm still wondering what traumatised that goblin in the Licktoad Village."
"Madame is close. The locals have taken to calling me Madame Butterfly on account of...a lot of things, really," she laughs airily. "But my name is Parvaneh. I saw you ride in on your steed the other day like a storybook knight and I just knew that you could accomplish whatever you set your mind to."
Mai's comment is of particular interest. "Licktoad Village. That is a new one. The goblins built a village for themselves? Where?"
Mai replies
"The Licktoads have been in the Brinestone Marsh for over a number of decades now, it's reasonable that they would have made a small settlement in it, mainly to protect them from the swamp's other residents."
