From the OP (I didn't read the other 5 pages TBH I read page 1 and 5) I think your player should retire the paladin to rebuild and make amends.
Your players had a bard capable of talking goblin its a shame that he stayed in town that day but it happens both IRL and out of it.
Your players had the possibility of going and finding out about this tribe. They CHOSE not to.
Your players slaughtered and butchered wemon and children.
Ask them what a lifes worth ingame and out.
What matters is that a bunch of people invaded a friendly village and butchered all the inhabitants without so much as a how do you do. At this point it shouldn't matter what the villagers allignments are. A PALLADIN of a good and just god slaughters a village no chance at redemption or communion. Ignoring what should obviously be plea's and begging (in regards to your village elder comment) doesn't really matter the language.
If your players heard about another group ingame doing this would they (assuming good characters themselves) not hunt down the group and kill them? This in itself is something to keep in mind.
Attonement should be possible but certainly not ingame as something like this goes far beyond just an evil act.
TLDR: Your palladin and IMHO entire group dun f@@@ed up and I don't think they should be able to atone for it.
PS: Its easy to tell who here GM's and who only plays from the tone the posts take :P I feel like theres a lot more players trying to "make this all right" then there should be.
