At first the looters bat away the raven, seeing it as a nuisance. But after it persists, one of them looks up at it and asks, "What is it, boy? Did Timmy fall down the well?"
Some of the people break off from their angry rioting, clinging to the idea that maybe someone had found the children. They follow the bird, catching on to the idea that it was a person transformed, and made their way down to the beach to help.
With the aid of Esmerelda and Darkeye, the townsfolk follow the commands to begin leading the children out. With enough people recruited to help, it goes quickly, and the group is able to emerge from the tunnels with the children in tow. Children run towards their parents, holding them tight and crying. They are wet, tired, disheveled, and scraped up from the rocky tunnels. But they are alive.
Trinket stops at the edge of the beach, the last one out of the tunnels. She watches the scene before her. Hundreds of people having the most interesting day of their lives. A day none of them would ever forget. A small smile touched her lips. She was sure Ludo would be quite proud.

The children are rescued, thanks to the leadership and ingenuity shown by those involved. If anyone wants there to be consequences, please post them now. Otherwise, you can make exit posts.
