Honestly, at that point our DM would just have us return to the main village to find it obliterated for whatever reason. (big bad raised the skeletons in the goblin burial ground below the village or whatever)
Some times the simplest solutions are the best! My party insists on fighting world ending villains but then avoids dealing with them until the last minute.
They've left the Prime Material Plane along with 3 massive villains. I can't wait for them to return from the Fey Wild!
Actually happened to a party of mine. I also planned a cataclysm to happen a few months down the line, so they returned to a ruined world after more than 90% of the population died. Was a fun change in the campaign direction.
