Devaguea was confused by the plea to not go after the townsfolk, and pulled aside the advisors after the briefing to find out if he had somehow managed a reputation of brutality or something similar at some point. But now they had names, they had a location, and the group had a PLAN! Tomorrow, Dev and a couple others would slip into town under invisibility effects to meet with the local resistance movement, before exfiltrating the town the same way the same day. The day after that, the preselected team going after the leaders would slip into the building, either through a method advised by the resistance OR through a convenient hole in the wall if required, and go after the leaders. So far, he had heard nothing to make him issue a kill only order, if only so the townsfolk could have a nice, vicious, messy execution afterwards.<br/><br/>They would move fast, hit hard, and keep moving, while the soldiers split into two groups to cut off retreat out of the town by the thugs. Once the assault team had killed or captured the leaders, Devaguea would signal the outside groups with a fireball spell above the castle, and then the eastern group would move into the town to take out the thugs, while the western group waited out of town to kill or capture any runners who took the obvious provided exit through the unfinished wall. Cynthia and Sak'bas would be leading that group, their faster speed would allow them to run down any runners that avoided the soldiers rounding up thugs.
