By this time, the woman has reached the doorway where Guilliame checked the man to see if he was okay. The torch that was thrown into the building is now guttering low out in the street as the woman steps into the building and goes out of sight.
"What was that about one of them returning with the guards?" asks Basilly, looking back in the direction of the entry to the street.

AKA: Phillip Berrie: writer, editor and academic thrillseeker—a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Ignoring Basilly's question, Guilliame sticks the club he just picked up through his belt (the charm person spell has a somatic component, which means Guilliame can't cast it while holding both the club and the dagger he got from Basilly), steps back and starts to say the words and make the motions of the Charm Person spell.
The man, who doesn't seem to notice what he is doing, tries to pull free of Basilly, who grabs him more firmly and tells him to stand still, which means he also doesn't see what Guilliame is doing.
When their brief tussle is over, Guilliame casts the spell at the man (Man's Saving throw: 17 )
[OOC: On that roll, the man is not charmed. I have also updated Guilliame's character sheet. He has used both his first level slots (2 x Charm Person spells) and will therefore be limited to cantrips until he gets a short or long rest.]
Sensing something is amiss, the man looks around frantically and says, "Someone just tried to cast a spell on me. Who did that?"
Guilliame then sees him deliberately close his eyes and then open them again.
[OOC: If you don't know what he has just done, make an Arcana check for Guilliame. And if you do know, does Guilliame want to do anything about it.]
"People? Pagans you mean," says the man angrily. "They didn't take the hint. They didn't leave town."
He then looks between you and Basilly—who is clearly of Stemian blood—and then say, "And what are you, a Sorian, doing protecting them? Don't tell me you are one of them too."
"Pagans?" says Basilly, looking between the man and the building into which the two victims have disappeared.

The man just goes silent and glares at you, but Basilly says, "Yes! You're right. Violence just breed violence. This is not the way to spread belief in the Mithran faith."
His statement catches the attention of the man who turns and looks at him in surprise. "Are you of the faith?" he asks.
Basilly clears his throat and pulls his solar eclipse medallion out from under the front of his robes. Then, in a formal voice, he says, "I am Apprentice Seeker Basilly Cullen and you are in a lot of trouble."
Once again the man acts surprised. "You are of the Temple of Donai? But so is our leader, Rawl. I am confused. Does not the right hand of the Temple know what the left hand is doing?"
[OOC: I'll give Guilliame a chance to get involved here. Also, I'm in Canberra today and will be working at ASTA this afternoon.]

"Bear in mind when your colleague returns he will tell me everything I ask so you may as well make this as quick as possible. Your little group seems somewhat organised. Is it your groups idea to do this or were you told to do it by someone else?"
"Helud?" says the man. "Even if he is enchanted, why would he do that? He's Rawl's right-hand man and in it as deep as any of us."
At this point, Basilly says, "Stop your lying. I know Reuben Rawl. He is a respected member of the Temple guard. He wouldn't be involved in anything like this."

"I didn't touch them," says the man. "Rawl did all the talking... and the hitting. He's the one with the nasty reputation."
Guilliame see Basilly nod in confirmation of the last statement.
The sound of voices from the end of the street heralds the arrival of the guard. Guilliame sees three men wearing swords at their sides at the end of the street. Two of them are wearing helmets while the other one isn't. This man points in his direction and the three of them confer for a moment, then the helmeted men start moving briskly in Guilliame's direction. The other man stays where he is for a few moments looking down the street and then walks off, heading in the opposite direction to where the guard station is.
"What's going on here?" demands one of the two men.
In the light of Basilly's staff, Guilliame can see that these two men are city guards and that the man who is speaking is a hand leader.
Basilly steps forward and says, "My name is Basilly Cullen. I am Seeker Lomani's apprentice."
After a moment's pause, he adds in an authoritative voice, "We have the matter under control now, and this is a Temple matter, so there is no need for the guard to be involved. But thank you for your prompt response."

Pick up the club.
"Four have got away. One will return here shortly with guards and give us the name of the others and why they did this."
Shout out to the man and woman "Are you both alright?"
By this time, the woman has reached the doorway where Guilliame checked the man to see if he was okay. The torch that was thrown into the building is now guttering low out in the street as the woman steps into the building and goes out of sight.

Cast a Charm person on the remaining assailant.
Ignoring Basilly's question, Guilliame sticks the club he just picked up through his belt (the charm person spell has a somatic component, which means Guilliame can't cast it while holding both the club and the dagger he got from Basilly), steps back and starts to say the words and make the motions of the Charm Person spell.

"I tried to cast a Charm person on you to ensure your co-operation but it obviously hasn't worked."
To Basilly, "That is what I did with the other fellow."
Back to the villian: "I can see you are a fellow magician. What are you doing attacking peoples houses and trying to burn them down?"
"People? Pagans you mean," says the man angrily. "They didn't take the hint. They didn't leave town."
He then looks between you and Basilly—who is clearly of Stemian blood—and then say, "And what are you, a Sorian, doing protecting them? Don't tell me you are one of them too."

"You have no right to try to burn down houses or force citizens out of town. Just think of what would have happened if the fire had spread."
The man looks surprised. "Burn down houses? What are you talking about? We just wanted to frighten them so they'd leave."
Guilliame notices that Basilly is looking anxious.
