Without promises to release it, it's not sayin' nothing. Roy gets some very tearful thanks from the remaining villagers, who will also shower him with a fair amount of gold for his trouble. The headman is currently still refusing to leave his quarters, but his daughter is taking charge in his place for the time being, and also gives Roy profuse thanks for his aid, adding that the villagers will take care of the creature from here on out.

It's said with a grim sort of determination, the kind of thing that makes a person glad they're not in the creature's shoes right now.
