Leonora tilts her head "thistlesnort? how the hell.."

The dog appears to be snarling at something a narrow crevice between buildlings

"Your valiant companion is here, Leo."

"Oh! And he has cornered something...or someone."

Coradel goes to find what the dog has caught.

And there's a sluagh glaring.

"would have gotten away with it" the old grump sluagh curses "if it wasn't for you meddling wilders and your blasted dog thing"

"Ahhhh...." Coradel's smile is predatory.

Then a bit of a laugh. "I understood that reference!"

Temerity sniffs "I, of course, am Daphne" Preening

"Well, what shall we do with him?" She stares down at the sluagh with her hands on her hips.

"Same thing we did with the troll I suspect. Take them in, then you pass judgement.. or ask the Count or Countess too... trafficking on this scale is clearly a risk to the right of ignorance" CLaire whispers her suggestion "Dungeon until then?"

Coradel nods. "That's eminently reasonable. Mind you, I'm tempted to turn this one lose in the middle of a football field with all the floodlights on, and have target practice. BUT....yes, the dungeon."

"Ware that he stay within a cell, perhaps a jar would keep him well." Vince comments, on his way between their supplies and back to the prisoners, taking them water and whatever other provisions they had brought. It may be a scant ride home, but he gives them anything he finds useful.

Temerity is assuring a certain girl "What, you mean my great great grandfather? Oh what a sailor he was"

Agreements... and aid arranged by House Liam, will pick up the mortals shortly... to see they get haven in Canada

Coradel makes liberal use of her ability and rank to dictum the prisoners to be good little commoners as they get marched back to EarthRunes.

turns out a certain Ailil was pretty badly wounded but hiding it, Thistlesnort outs that too, and with a few licks, heals lightly, much to Claire's disgust. "ugh. dog germs"

"Basselope germs, and you're welcome" A fuss "Let's get you to Emma" The less wounded Leonora says

As for Coradel, her hand is not mangled, but damn it's unsightly.

"Oh, Claire," Coradel frowns at her. "Magnus is going to fuss at me now."

Vince is... where did he find juggling balls? Why did he bring those? But yes, he is entertaining the children.

Her hand does hurt, which is annoying.

One drops on his head. He is not especially deft at it, but... alas. He has charisma enough to make it work, and keep the children from worrying until their ride to freedom arrives.

"Good. Augus and Magnus DESERVE Scares for not letting us go along. The jackwads"

And hanging over their victory is the knowledge, that even now, the group in Mexico could be fighting for their lives against the main leaders
