Devaguea frowned as he handed the wand to Amvarean with a nod of thanks as she moved to take over healing Nordri. While she did that, Draiss identified the rod as a lesser quickened metamagic rod, and cackled for a moment, before moving onto the clock. He stared at the clock for a moment, frowning to himself as he questioned why it was in what was basically a very comfortable, personable, but above all<em>intimate</em>hidey-hole. It wasn't personalized in any way he could see, and while Gegul informed him through Talia that the clock was VERY expensive, and should be handled with all due care, he wondered if it could be containing something personal to the 'she' the halfling had screamed about.<br/><br/>With that in mind, and mindful of the fact his party was pretty much spent after the two fights, both his flankers were done, he simply put the clock in the bag of holding, before finishing the search of the winery and cistern. Once that was done, they went back to collect the prisoners, and began debating how best to move everyone. Eventually, it was decided that Amvarean and Nordri would teleport back using the rapier with most of the prisoners, the unconscious leader and weretiger included in the first group. Each of the six prisoners were assigned to either the first or second group, and any prisoner that did NOT leave with their group would have their throats slit with a rusty knife Devaguea had found in the library. He made sure to show them it, and then allowed Amvarean to teleport the first prisoner group to the capital, where Talia had two squads of guards and herself waiting to receive them. Devaguea then teleported the rest of the group and the single remaining prisoner back behind them, and then had to teleport AGAIN when he instead landed them in a completely different town.<br/><br/>Once the group was done transferring prisoners over, the entire group headed to the healers to ensure no one had caught lycanthropy. While that was happening Allison and Gegul were examining the clock, trying to justify Devaguea's hunch that SOMETHING about it was important. If, after two days, they had no evidence one way or another it was anything but a clock, Devaguea would try draining it, hoping it contained some trinket, jewelry, or record that would at least explain the ghost's apparent madness. Though by now he had dismissed the rumor that had sent the group to the abbey as mere rumor to bait a trap.
