He leaned forward, his expression suddenly hardening. "Because I am all that has been keeping the lid on this damn town since. The dragon WANTS to burn the town to the ground, enslave and sell the survivors, and start the usual draconic nonsense. Only me pointing out you have a Star Guardian here, antagonizing the unrest, has stopped that idea. Yes, you have a Star Guardian in the town, and this is his backup plan. Riots and dead civilians to kill one person. His original plan was rampaging dragon. So, if you lock me up and the guardian isn't in the cell next to me, expect me to stop being so nice and helpful in the future.<br/><br/>Have you noticed the drop in petty crimes of late? My doing. I am the head of the thieves guild, as well as an experienced adventurer.<br/><br/>And if this attack doesn't work, then I will bet that as of this time tomorrow, your civilians will be rioting in the streets and the paladin, crusader of justice, peace, and good, will be leading the efforts to put the rioters in graves to stop it. He is INSANE, and this is the best I can do to stop the unrest. You call me a lawbreaker, I counter I am doing more to reduce crimes in my brief time here than you and your guards have done so in the last twenty years. You have to work twice as hard to make the crime rate drop a tiny fraction. I can persuade them to not work as much, for a much more drastic drop."
