Devaguea gave them both a flat stare, before shaking his head. "Unfortunately, we were hired and ordered to secure the keep and any leaders, which the two of you appear to meet. Unless you would rather be identified as a guard, in which case capturing you is 'nice, but not required.' However, you will get to make your case to the lord when he gets here tomorrow, IF you behave. The deal I offered is at least until then, take it or leave it."<br/><br/>Once the prisoners were gagged, he had them moved to opposite sides of the room and secured to a large piece of furniture. The human disguised dragon made sure he helped secure the bard, and spoke quietly enough to not be heard by the baron. "Behave, we know you are with Daggermark, and the dragon enjoys a nice, comfortable relationship with them. Your safety is guaranteed IF you don't do anything stupid and force us to kill you. We will even turn you loose with your equipment after this is over, though things taken from the town will be returned to their owners or next of kin."<br/><br/>Once both captives were calmed and secured, Devaguea stayed with Akiros, while the others went to collect, secure, and return with the baroness. Once that was done, he fired a fireball out into the sky, signaling the two groups out of town it was time to begin. All of the equipment in the room was added to the bag of holding from the escape tunnel, for later identification, before the group was sent down the main stairs, with Devaguea staying to keep the three prisoners honest. The advisors could easily clear the keep without him, and they deserved some 'fun' too.
