Execution As group is look at bounty board or travelling through dry district there is a crowd gathering toward the townhall / jail house.
If group investigates they find guards setting up what a bonfire, just collecting wood and stacking it up around a central chared metal pole, there are also nearby market stalls being set up around the town square. The group see Haldir leaving the nearby townhall and heading towards the manor, he take a quick look at the set up but continues on his way.
Looks like set up is nearly done as sun is starting to set, soon a blue female tiefling gagged and wearing rags is brought out and taken to the bonfire and tied to the central pole, she looks weak, beaten, and malnourished her eyes scan the crowd pausing just for a moment longer on the group who stand out against the normal townsfolk. Once tied up a lizardfolk noble steps forward. “Tonight we bring you a demon who was hiding and plotting a demonic ritual in our great city and due to you wonderful citizens you lead us to its capture and as a thank you we hope to bring you a show tonight, enjoy the markets and don't forget the Harvest close festival on Sunday.”

Passive 17+, the tiefling looks to see if the guards are watching her then looks up to a second story window and shakes her head.
After a few guards douse some oil over the wood and tiefling, a flaming torch is brought out.
The Tiefling looks up towards the same window again and nods her head, just at the flames start to light the bonfire an arrow flies out piercing the tiefling in the head and she goes limp. “SEARCH THAT BUILDING”. Guards start rushing towards the two story building that the arrow came from.
If detect magic or similar is used there is two sources of illusion magic (Johime & Akzer) that emerge from the second story window and move onto the roof and start quickly moving away. There is panic among townsfolk as the bonfire is now in full force, the noble and some guards are calming the public saying they have it under control and try to enjoy the festivities.

Indoor You place the feathers from the griffon on the ground and set out the rare plants and incenses needed for the ritual and begin, over the course of the hour it starts with dust and dirt being drawn from the ground and dirtied shoes, eventually a strong breeze opens nearby windows and doors and a flurry of earth, leaves, and flowers fly in circling you and the ritual circle a bright warmth embraces you in the closing moments as all the materials begin to form a large shape of a sleeping ??? drapped with flowers.

Outdoor You set the feathers from the griffon on the ground and surround it with the rare plants and incenses needed for the ritual, after setting it all out and checking your notes you begin the hour long ritual. the first few minutes nothing happens but you soon notice dirt slowly forming a pile in the center, as the ritual goes on more dirt piles on, eventually leaves and flowers start floating toward the center and start spiralling around a warmth embraces you and all those near as it gathers into a large form and bright light momentarily blinds you, when your vision comes back you see a large sleeping ??? before you drapped with flowers.

Glaren
Tribe of Lizardfolk, unaware of politics, Basilisk hunting and killing those who wonder too far. Outsiders not allowed in, they moved to get away from society and live in peace. They may setup camp just outside if promise to leave no mess. Following if promise is kept and no hostilities the lizardfolk will give each member of the group coal cooked birds wrapped with large leaves and stuffed with mushroom. The perfect blanket is also given. If group mentions Dyndryd the leader will mention of an elderly man living in the mountains that calls himself “Dyndryd the Eternal” the lizardfolk can provide a rough area.

The “Perfect Blanket”: A simple black bear fur blanket one side depicting a campsite with red and silver threads and the other an igloo with blue and silver thread. It is a thermal blanket with perfect heat transfer: one side is always warm or hot, the other is always cold. Can be used to survive extreme temperatures, but only with vigilance. One adventurer fell asleep under it and was found roasted crispy the next morning. Another who made the same mistake in summertime was found frozen solid.

If on good terms as they are leaving and receive the items they'll also mention if they return with parts of the basilisk as proof of it's death they can use the parts to make something for them as a reward.

If group returns with proof of the Basilisk's death depending on any parts returned they can make various items, Weapon and Armour cannot be magical, requires attunement, Eye operation requires attunement.
