"Mitra's floppy tits!" Blau exclaims upon hearing the shrieks. And quickly starts pulling the first dead mage deeper inside the building. "Grab the other one and I can get rid of the bodies, leaving bones, as I did before. Or we can just leave rapidly."

“Can you tell me the difference between a witch and a wizard?" "Sure, a wizard is what they call you when they want to hire you, and a witch is what they call you when they're getting ready to run you out of town.” SunWolf replied ― Barbara Hambly, The Witches of Wenshar
Respar says, "They know we were going to search this building." Respar thinks a moment. "Kiven, I doubt anyone out there got a good look at who just died in the street. How about Eddarly and some guards carry you back, looking like your old man persona all shot up? We can say we found him hiding and he attacked us. We can then take your body somewhere in the keep, and you can change appearance and we can ready for our attack."
Elsewhere, Poe digs into the horse's neck yet again, talons and beak ripping a hole into the equine's vulnerable flesh there. The big animal goes down with a scream, toppling its riders to the ground. The guard, to his credit, manages to turn it into a roll, and comes back at the big raven with his sword drawn, but he misses with his first swing.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Eya will quickly Detect Magic as she loots the mages of any valuables, especially magic items. She looks to Kiven and nods for help with the second mage to make the process faster.
Then, she adds, "Let's also say "Captain Eddarly" and his "guards" fought the hound. We've already established a precedent with the strike on the southern village." In Infernal, she says to the hound after the bodies have been looted, "Torch these bodies, then pretend to fight us. Don't harm anyone yet. When you hear my whistle, run off to the south of the village and lead the guards away. If they corner you after that, then fight."
She reaches into her pouch for a whistle. Then, Eya disguises herself as a dirty young female commoner, similar but not exactly the same as the one she used for the previous mission. She pretends to be terrified at the current situation. "Aaaaahhhhhhh!!! By Mitra's light, what is that DEMON!!! AHHHHHH! Save us! Look what it did to those men!!!"
The whistle she has is a silent whistle to communicate with animals and other creatures with keen hearing. It's only audible in that way. I bought it during Eya's big shopping list, haha. I figure once the guards see the hound being fought off by us, they will chase it away. But Eya will use the whistle by covering her mouth as if terrified and blowing it to signal the hound to flee, hopefully luring the guards with it.
Kiven, still disguised as a guard, exits the house and listens to Respar but then witnesses Eya's bluff. He plays his part acting as an uncertain guard trying halfheartedly to fight off the hound with a common weapon a guard would have, whether it be his bow disguised as a mundane one, a dagger, etc. He pretends to check the downed sorcerer in the street for signs of life but really just removes the wand or ring, depending on which caster it is. He keeps up his act of fighting off the hound until more guards arrive.
Blau, seeing the situation handled by those better trained in such things, quickly shifts his disguise into that of a young teen boy, cowering in the corner far from the door and whimpering. Waiting to see if his fists are needed, when the new forces arrive.

Townsfolk continue to flee away from the scene of the fight, most of them yelling about the apparent demon.
It isn't long before the first guard shows up, he draws a sword, but appears hesitant to engage the hellhound. Others can be seen running up behind him.
Eya is quickly able to remove the enchanted set of robes from Titus, and finds a wand in its pocket. Kiven strips Tacitus of his ring, an ornate silver piece with what appears to be ram horns. This twin's robes are enchanted as well, but stripping him in the street may be noticed.

Disguised as one of the low ranking guards he has seen in recent weeks, Kiven stops his fake defense against the hound and makes his way over to Tacitus's body. "I think he's still breathing, sir. He's lost a lot of blood from these bites though." Those who know Kiven can likely hear the strain in his voice initially as the cold, logical elf tries to speak like a commoner, but ultimately Lord Aloro is able to set aside his pride and play the part when the situation is dire.
When the guards all congregate, Eya pulls her hands up to her face as if she's shocked and horrified and blows the silent whistle to alert the hound that it's time to run.
Goal here is hoping the guards chase after the "demon."

Poe informs Selena of the fallen horse. " Excellent " , she responds mentally. " I am getting there as quickly as possible. " She continues sprinting towards Poe. Poe nods as the horse collapses. He now turns his attention to Ms Mott. He launches an attack on her now.
The guards rush up, three of them in all, encouraged by their captain to engage the beast. After a few blows, the hellhound turns and starts running off, chased by the yelling guardsmen.
After the guards leave and the witnesses are gone, save for a few watching from far away windows, Eya whispers quietly to the others, "Okay, time to go and deal with that other problem. There's no time to waste. Thankfully this didn't take too long."
She goes behind a building to a private area and changes her disguise just enough to look like a different woman, then runs off towards where Selena ran off. As she runs, she burns a couple of infernal runes into her arm and grits her teeth as they burn in then fade away. She feels more arcane power flow through her veins, though she appears to sweat and pant more heavily now.
Running off to help Selena. Eya might have a way to hide the bodies if she can make it there quick enough.
The last bit was just some RP for Eya consuming spells to refill her arcane pool. I'm consuming 2 level 2 spells to get her 4 Arcane points back. I have one more use of this feature with my +3 CHA. And only 1 level 2 spell slot left now.
Kiven wants the magic robes of Tacitus and thus turns to look at Blau in his disguised form. "You boy! It's safe now. Get someone to help me get this man inside. He might still be saved." He hopes Blau might change his disguise to that of an adult man or find some other way to assist him in dumping the body inside the building and removing the magic items.
With a tearful "yes sir!" The 'boy' heads out of sight inside and shifts to a much stronger commoner, comes out and silently helps haul the body into the concealment of the shop.
Pulling off anything Kiven indicates as magical or valuable, he stuffs it all into a sack or something handy. To Kiven he says " I can turn only one of these to bones. Should we just stuff them into a corner and leave?"

'Eddarly' follows the men in pursuit if the hellhound. If they find a deserted place to fight it, he might help the hound end the troops.
Within a few moments, the body of the mage Tacitus is dragged back into the house and stripped of the one remaining magic item on him, his robes.
There is still chaos and shouting outside. Enough people saw the first fight that the news that you fought with, rather than against, the hellhound will eventually reach the wrong ears.

Eya continues sprinting as fast as she can, chasing after Selena and Poe. Once she arrives, she surveys the scene to determine the situation.
