The next day, a cleric of Sarenrae and his apprentice came over to help examine the clock for curses, and after an hour the cleric's apprentice was the one to finally discover something. Almost as an afterthought, the young apprentice had cast several detect spells, and started as he reported that there was something chaotic in the clock. After a few minutes of discussion, Allison tried detect thoughts, and reported that there was a near manic mantra of whatever was in the clock, basically endless repeating 'escape, freedom, let me out' things of that nature. After an hour of thought, and thanking the cleric and his apprentice and dismissing them, Devaguea called his group together, and announced that, as per his policy, it was better to release the creature now while they had people on hand if it was hostile, rather than risk it breaking out when the combat groups weren't home.<br/><br/>And with a second army being stood up to help Kesten run the Pitax armies into the ground, they wouldn't have time to do it later. So Devaguea waited for the combat team to assemble in the Palace garden, away from the civilians, and then carefully opened the clock at the edge of the pool in the gardens, following Gegul instructions on how to open it without damaging it. Once the creature was out, they would refill, seal and then sell it for a good chunk of gold.
