# Outline
After the party exits the mine, they can return to [[settlements/oakridge]]. Here, they are presented with a choice: 
- pursue a further investigation to uncover the identity of the mysterious 'T' and determine how the monsters came to inhabit the mine, or
- decide to end their involvement, treating the mission as completed.
 
Choosing to wrap up their adventure, they can return to the miners, claim their reward, and consider their quest successfully concluded.
 
## Confronting the mayor (or his wife) 
- <u>Mayor Gingar Terion is unwavering </u>in his commitment to protect his wife, Theresia, even at great personal risk.
- If the party presses him too hard, his <u>behaviour and mannerisms will betray deep guilt</u>, offering astute observers a glimpse into his awareness of the actual events with a successful <u>Wisdom (Insight) roll against DC14</u>.
- Should the <u>adventurers piece together that it is not Gingar but rather Theresia</u> who orchestrated the mine's monstrous disturbances, Gingar will not hesitate to confront them directly, <u>prioritising his wife's safety above all else</u>.
- In the event that the <u>party seeks to apprehend or harm Gingar</u>, Theresia will seize the opportunity to escape their residence, prioritising her own safety.
 
## The Future 
With the party back in [[settlements/oakridge]], it's time to begin [[plots/the-hag-the-bear-and-the-goblins]]
