They want the paladin, nothing else. The guards are a necessary casualty, but if you keep giving me a hard time, I can tell the dragon that. The dragon came to me and said that. NOT the other way."<br/><br/>He let the guard go, and dropped him down, before turning around and tossing down a couple coins. "You were warned, how bad the fight is determines how bad the city is damaged. They wanted to not say anything and simply kill everything that got in their way."<br/><br/>That done, he walked off, and back to the dragon, to let her know what happened.
