The guard who spoke shields his eyes from the glowing club and looks suspiciously at Basilly before saying, "We were told that the Temple didn't want to be involved; that it was a simple disturbance of the peace."
"Who told you that?" asks Basilly.
"Don't know his name," replies the guard. "But I've seen him in Donai armour before this, and I don't know you at all... Seeker Lomani, you say, I didn't even know she had an apprentice."
"I'm new," counters Basilly. "But I've got a paper that proves it." He reaches for something, which he suddenly realises he hasn't got, and then says, "I, I've left it at the Temple."
Then the other guard pipes up saying, "You're Guilliame de Marchant aren't you? You run that apothecary a couple of streets over, don't you? What's your part in this?"

AKA: Phillip Berrie: writer, editor and academic thrillseeker—a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
"I saw 6 people attacking a man and a woman. So being a good corporate citizen I tried to help. I saw Basilly and asked his assistance. We were warned off and two of the men tried to attack us. Another man was bashing in a door and threw a lit torch inside."
"Okay," says the guard. "Let's go and see how they are?"
He leads the way with Basilly manhandling the man you caught following.
The five of you reach the building where the incident occur and find the man and the woman inside, the woman doing first aid to the man's head.
"City guard here," says one of the guards to the man and woman inside. "Can you tell me what happened?"
The man and the woman between them tell the story of how there was a knock at the door and how a man threatened them and told them they had to leave the city or suffer the consequences. The woman then tells of how her husband had tried to argue with the man and how he had been struck down by the man at the door.
Basilly then steps forward with the man he has a hold of and asks whether this man was part of the group. The woman answers that he was.
The guard then asks whether you and Basilly were also part of the group, to which the woman says 'no'. She also adds that Basilly intervened when the men tried to stop her running to fetch the guard.
While this conversation has been going on, another guard arrives. This man's armour indicates that he is the hand leader of the group of guards. He nods to Basilly in recognition and asks what is going on.
He is filled in on the details and then Basilly once more says that this is a matter for the Temple and that, while he thanks the city guard for their assistance, they no longer need to be involved, and that he personally will follow up this matter.
[OOC: I'll stop here. If you want Guilliame to say something at any point in the above, I am happy to backtrack to that point.]
No comment unless asked anything directly. If it all raps up there then hand Basilly back his dagger and thank him for all he did.
"I hope you can stop things that are just going to inflame tensions. There seems to be a lot going on in the city and everyone is on edge at the moment."
The hand leader seems very willing to let the Temple of Donai take over in the case of this incident, especially seeing as the couple—after a brief private discussion—decide they don't want to press charges. He sends the other two guards back to the guard station so that it isn't left unmanned and then formally warns the man Basilly and Guilliame captured that if he is ever found to be involved in such activities again then it will go bad for him. Then the hand leader heads back to the guard station himself after explaining that it has been quite a busy night, what with the fire and all; an observation that Basilly agrees with.
With the hand leader having left, Basilly turns on the man that he and Guilliame apprehended and pushes him up against the outside wall of the building. "You will stay right there if you know what's good for you," he says with a snarl.
He then pulls Guilliame aside and asks politely, "Guilliame, I don't suppose you can do any more of those Charm spells, can you? I'd really like to ask this person some questions and that might expedite matters."

[OOC: As a member of the Wizard class, Guilliame can do something called Arcane Recovery, which means he could recover a spell slot after an hour's rest (also, he doesn't need to have his spell book in this campaign to do that).]
In answer to Guilliame's question, Basilly thinks for a moment and then says, "Would you mind? Something is not right about this situation and I need time to think and get some answers. Your house is close. We could take him there and you could recover your magic enough to charm him and hopefully get some good answers out of him."

"I'm a bit worried about taking him to my house to be honest. Is there somewhere else we could take him where others in the church could look after him?"
"I don't think that's a good idea," says Basilly. "There seems to be people from my temple caught up in this, and I know this Rawl they were talking about. He is a dangerous man. I'd like to keep this quiet until I find out what's going on."
Basilly looks at the man, who stares defiantly back at him and then says, "Do you know a place where we can keep him until I get a chance to Seeker Lomani? She will know what to do?"

Guilliame closes his eyes and opens them with his mage sight active.
Looking at their captive, Guilliame sees that he is an innate sorcerer and has a small amount of magic stored in his aura (i.e., one 1st level spell's worth).
Looking at Basilly, Guilliame can see that he is also an innate sorcerer and currently has about twice the mana in his aura as the other man.
He then searches the area (this is happening just outside the building where the couple were accosted).
[OOC: Both these characters may have used spells already today and so the above could not necessarily be the amount of magic they can store in their auras, just how much they have now.]
[OOC: To find out if either the above characters has any other magic on them, or if there is other magic operating in the area, please make a Perception check.]

From what he can see with his mage sight, the faint aura around Basilly's body is a spell that belongs to the School of Abjuration. Guilliame is fairly sure that Basilly is protected by the Mage Armour spell.

To the ruffian: "You seem like a reasonable man. You say you didn't want to hurt anyone. We know Rawl is your leader and Helud was part of the group. Who were the others involved?"

"What did the man who got you say? I thought he would come back with you?"
