“We’re bringing him back to lockup,” says the greying man. “He’ll be held there until trial. Should be pretty quick — he’s already been implicated under truthspell, after all.”

Arius was about to say something, but then he sees Wanderer cast what he presumes to be a divination spell. Seeing that, he shuts up instead, and waits for the results of the divination.
“…Zasha! Don’t move and don’t cast! You’re under arrest for demon-worship!”
“Please, there must be some mistake—”
“Don’t try to deny it! You’ve been implicated under truthspell!”
“I only went once, I didn’t know what it was—”
(the sound of a woman’s body hitting the ground, and manacles clicking shut…)
[A scene with no conversation of a workshop being systematically looted of its valuables, as a man in manacles is slumped against one wall]
“You’re under arrest! Don’t move, don’t cast!”
“Plea—”
There’s the sound of flesh hitting flesh, and then a crunching sound.
“I said , don’t fucking cast anything. Now, are you stupid, or were you trying to pull a fast one on me? Everyone knows any words could be the verbal component of a spell…”
“…Hey, that’s mine, you can’t—”
“What’s that? You wanna fight back? I can show you what happens to people who try and fight back, if you want…”
“…Acid Splash! Hail Flauros, lord of dragons! Bow before his—”
(the sound of crossbow bolts hitting flesh)
“Really? That’s what she went with? A fucking cantrip? Ugh, check if she’s breathing…”
“…My humble apologies for the interruption, Lord-Mayor, but I bring urgent news regarding a sensitive matter. May I speak to you briefly in private?”
“Of course, and you need not apologize.” A man turns his head to elsewhere in the room. “Please forgive me for the delay, I will hear your petitions after I attend to this matter…”
“…profits higher than ever.”
“Well, that’s not hard. They get exemptions from all kinds of dues, of course they can turn a tidy profit.”
“…good health, for a man of his age.”
“Of his — he’s not that old.”
“His youngest children are nearly grown! I’d call that old…”

Wanderer will communicate the cult-related information and the topic to Arius, noting that it looks like everything is well-handled.

(alright, are you two going to also head back to the Auberge or do you have other things you want to do first?)
Wanderer steps forward towards the Watch.
“It would seem as though I’ve underestimated your abilities and overestimated your opposition. I’ve divined and saw nothing but successes in your apprehensions of the cult members. My apologies.”
He gives something of a salute.

(I don’t have lingering things)
Arius says to the buff guard: “It appears the other Watchmen faring well. Thank you for letting us join you.” He bows down politely once more.
((I got nothing in mind that Arius can do besides checking up on the abandoned hospital again. We can probably go back to regroup with the others.))
Wanderer will rejoin the group.
does anyone have things they want to do this evening? Various possibilities got floated, but I’m not sure if you decided to actually do them
((…technically, there is enough time to search for these people in the evening. Realistically, however, Arius approaching a jewelry store makes no sense.))
((It also doesn’t make sense for him to go around and ask people: “Hey, do you know where Sacred Warrior Taras is?”))
((So… Yeah, I guess he will regroup at Amelie’s, relay the events that happened in the afternoon, see how they react, and uh… We’ll figure things out from there.))
Wanderer would confer what happened to the group and would chart a route to places of note in Baron Dalin’s territory.
If there are any people there that know about Dalin’s territory, he’d likely ask them various things (as per Gather Information) such as ‘What are the most important settlements?’ ‘Is there anything interesting happening there’
And other some such things.
