Matteo hasn't noticed a damn thing, so unless someone wants to do something, he will shrug and walk past the prisoners and guards without paying them much attention.
Noting the tattoos and the looks Aether hesitates only a moment before striding toward the pair. Pointing his cane accusingly at the prisoner while addressing the guard. "Guard you had better get control of your wards! I won't stand to have brutes like this making such lewd gestures toward myself and my companions! I insist that you have him apologize and then to see that he is sternly punished for his behavior!"
Drax holds his nose up as the prisoners pass.. not noticing any tattoos while focusing on keeping as much of himself concealed while disguised as an old man.
The five guards in front t take a big step towards Aether with their hands on their short swords. The (Asmodeus tattoed) guard puts his hands up and gets in between Aether and the prisoner, keeping everyone in their positions. With a calming voice he states “Sir, whatever slight you feel has crossed you this day I apologize. But I must warn you this man has been charged with larceny , Conspiracy, Muder, and Devil Worship. You will have to accept my apology in his stead, a script has been placed in his mouth to prevent the most unholy invocations and spells. If he opens his mouth he will drop dead before his day if true justice. Be on your way, good day.” Looking at The group, before a quick sideways glance towards the other guards and then eyes fix back to you.
Drax would take a step backwards, slipping his hand into his pocket and clutching his crystal tightly in his disguised black hand. He wouldn't say anything as he leans on a nearby tree... appearing to be an old man wearing a set of fine black clothing with gold and silver trim and accents.
Matteo, who has now passed the guards and prisoners and is probably about fifteen foot down the road, stops and turns around in confusion at why the others seem to have taken such an interest in these prisoners. He doesn't say anything, but he looks quizzically at Drax.
One of the guards from the left chimes in “Esmerltaran, is where these men walk for their fate. To be hanged at the noose. Please let us be, we don’t want any harm to come to you.” The guard takes a step forward more relaxed but hand still in the hilt of his sword.
Drax would look to Matteo and shrug. He had not seen anything special about these soldiers and prisoners but he knew it was a situation that could escalate quickly if Aether was not careful.
Risha frowns upon seeing the markings and glances at Aether, looking a bit tense. She raises an inquiring eyebrow at him, clearly asking if he wants to take this farther.
The guard that spoke up earlier of the destination. A human man with a blonde handlebar mustache and thick eyebrows that dance upon his furrowed brow. Pale skin, standing a little short but stout. “Absolutely not, sir this is official business. You’ve wasted enough of our time as it is. Step aside before there is trouble.” With that he yanks on the chains that are connected prisoner to prisoner. The first prisoner gets jolted forward and each prisoner slightly less jarred than the previous.

(I totally picture this spell like the hallucinations that Scarecrow makes from DC)
The spell consumes the senses of the three other guards. The immediately become shocked and terrified at the intimidating presence of Aether. They look like they are going to turn tail and run, but follow their orders. It takes them a second to fit the key into the locks with their hands visibly shaking. Cursing to themselves “damn it, oh gods, please work!” Finally they unlock the cuffs around each prisoner.

They finish and stand waiting their orders from Aether. But from behind you see the Goliath stand over them, they don’t notice ... too busy being terrified from Aether. The Goliath snaps his fingers and a large battle axe appears in his hands. He raises it over his left shoulder and swings horizontally. The axe has veins of orange and crimson glowing that stands out against the pitch black blade. The smell of sulfur fills the air. The axe cuts through the first two guards, killing them instantly. Before their bodies hit the ground. They begin to break apart and turn to ash. The ash turns to smoke and gets swept up like a vacuum into the axe. Their bodies are completely gone. The third guard is now paralyzed with fear from both the prisoner and Aether.
"I Suggest that you remove your armor and drop your weapons before praying to Asmodaus that we decide to let you live.." Drax would say while still leaning against the tree while casting suggestion on the last remaining frightened guard.

”Yes Sir.” The remaining guard begins stripping and throwing down his weapon, fleeing shortly after. The other prisoners are standing in shock and awe. They begin taking pieces of armor and the sword. As they intend to make their way to me freedom as well.
The Tattooed guard smirks “The Devil’s luck is with us today. We had made arrangements down the road with some mercs. This seemed like a better option.” Turning to the still stoic Goliath with his mouth closed “Should we collect that payment before heading back?” The Goliath just stares
The guard puts up his hands “okay, you’re right. Let’s go fix that mouth of yours.” Spinning back to you with hands clasped together “My name is Anders, this is Korven, Prideheaet of Calimport Chapter of the Church of the Nine. And you must be the Left hand, I see. Something we’ve only heard legends about. Tell us, how may we assist you?”
Addressing the other prisoners. ”This day you have been given a gift by Asmodeus, Lord of the Nine. Your chains removed your freedom granted I offer you now a chance to show your gratitude by assisting these disciples in their quest. Those who prove their devotion and worth will be rewarded further. At the very least you shall leave your shackles with us.”
Then turning back to the other two. “We are quite interested in legends actually. Have you heard any of a temple on an island?”

”Very well. I will just need a moment of your mans time.” He will take a step back indicating the tattooed guard to step aside with him.

The necromancer considers for a moment then point his cane in the direction of the three other guards. "Kaŭzi timon. Break the chains!"
