War is Confusing

Helmhorn tells the sergeants from Order of the Dragon to go to the village of Belfern. Only a few houses. 2 previous representatives were sent there, neither returned or heard from again. Find out what happened, take necessary action to secure the village either through patronage or destruction.
Village elder, Vorgan, claims to have not seen previous representatives. Through investigation they have joined the hunt. They consider themselves Drilurans and they believe that the order of the dragon has allied with Agratia. Village protects the path through the mountains to be able to flank to Driluran capital and break the stalemate of the war. DC 30 persuasion.
Any action against nature will invoke retaliation.
