Omega considered the man's outburst, with disapproval. It was not an answer. However, there was an answer within what he'd said...though he might not have meant it in that way.
"Yes," Omega replied to the guard captain. "Take me to your king."
The ruler, it reasoned, would have all relevant information regarding geography, political boundaries, and neighboring regions. If anyone could provide it with the aid it required, the king would be likely to.

Dizzy was not at all interested at what the guards had to say. But she was pretty sure she detected a veiled threat in the demon's last remark. She would not allow the guards to come to any harm.
"You are about as hypocritical as I'd expect of you demon, speaking of lashing out in pain and confusion while belittling those who attempt to maintain the law here. I must warn you, should you raise a hand against them I won't need pain and confusion to justify striking you down."

Kayla sends a telepathic message to the head guard "Please give me a moment, Sir, to head off a fight. They are wild and used to getting their own way, if you push them, I fear innocents will die. Allow me to speak to them and I will do my best to get them to come before your king PEACEFULLY, though I doubt they'll consider themselves prisoners." Her tone is imploring, not commanding, and the look in her eyes as they meet the guard begs him to meet her half-way on this before she turns to face the others.
"Well that is a pleasant surprise" Kayla says as she approaches the Marilith and Dizzy. "I had thought with your lashing out that the curse had consumed your soul, leaving it as twisted as your outer form, but your words mirror my own sentiments." She faces Shahaza "These guards appear to be the rightful law in these lands, and I'll not abide you speaking down to them because you Think you are stronger. Now, I Suggest we go with them before their king, and perhaps there we will find who or what has brought us all back, and why."
As she speaks, Kayla stands beside Dizzy, facing the Marilith and glancing alternatingly between the demon queen and the vampire king. "Any objections?"
Meanwhile, she speaks telepathically to Dizzy "I know you wish to destroy the Marilith for what she is, but think of what people think when they see you. Perhaps she IS trying to fight her nature. There may be good in her, that we can bring out. And even if there isn't, fighting her here could cause much pain and suffering to the people of this town."

"You're grasping at straws, seeking any excuse to sate your hunger for death. This buffoon," she indicated the fat guard, "deserves not your compassion and I suspect he means as little to you as he does to me. He's a means to an end, nothing more. I do, however, see no need to kill him. It would be a great boon to this kingdom to do so and I have not yet a reason to lend his king my aid. Or to ease the troubles of the unfortunate soldiers under his command" She casts a commiserating glance at the troops behind the officer.
She smiles, studying Dizzy intently. "You, however, intrigue me. Your nature, the nature of your curse and all your odd little quirks are simply fascinating. I will not kill you unless I have to."
Why was she even considering this? The situation was more than interesting, she dared say it was unique. But that also made it uniqely absurd. She was returned to life on some backwater Prime, surrounded by legends of considerable power. One of them a devil-tainted bloodthirsty beast intent on her life, another a paladin intent on mediation with a demon. And now, it seemed they would all allow themselves to be arrested by some dretch in human skin and brought before his petty king.
She laughs and turns to Kayla, "It is far too soon to discuss the merits of the Law in these lands, though I do believe we can judge the merits of at least one of its enforcers." One of her eyebrows rises slightly. "No matter, this is amusing if nothing else."
She turns to the pompous fat little man, "Very well. Direct us to your rightful king, so we can judge the merits of him and his law in person."
"And you?" she speaks telepathically to the Vampire. "Will you follow this motley company of fools, or must you first slake your thirst?"
--
ooc: She's tries to get on the guards good side (hinting it would be in everyone's best interest if they got rid of their commander)
Edit: The diplomacy check is on all the guards, including the officer (I can't edit the text with the dice roll). Hopefully he'll see what a burden he is to his country and kill himself. (what can I say, he's annoying
)

"GOOD! YOU ARE FINALLY BOWING TO MY AUTHORITY. YOU ARE SMARTER THAN YOU LOOK. NOW GUARDS!!! TAKE THEIR WEAPONS AND CHAIN UP THE PRISONERS!!!"
Despite the Merilith's words the guards seem unwilling, or possibly unable, to extend to the newcomers any niceties. They move up to the legends and demand they hand over their arms and submit to being locked into manacles before they continue.

"If you think I am bowing to any mortal authority you are sorely mistaken, Thrall. Choose your next words carefully, my tolerance of your insolence is at an end."
"Singer," she speaks telepathically to Kayla, while looking coldly at the officer. "You are a spellcaster, are you not? Do you Detect some magical influence on the mind of this creature? His actions are not those of a freely thinking individual."
Shahaza does not allow herself to be bound or to have her weapons confiscated.
ooc:
Does True Seeing reveal anything unusual on him or his troops? It's an innate ability, continuously used.
Does Sense Motive tell her anything about him? Does he seem to be under the influence?
(Sorry about making two rolls, I didn't think the first was registered. I guess I'll take the second, lower roll.)

The guards find no weapons on Omega's person that are easily identifiable. The apparatus on his right arm seems vaguely ominous, but it doesn't have blades, or sufficent mass to serve as a mace, or a firing mechanism to be a crossbow...and it's not detachable regardless.
Omega allows its hands to be bound, as it projects the handicap to be only minimal in terms of limiting its combat or mobility options.

Shahaza's attempts to discern any clues with her magical sight prove fruitless. They are as they are. In addition, her insight into the inner workings of mortals only furthers her concerns that the guards may not be acting willingly. What she does discover though is that the fat bald man does not seem to be acting that way. He is probably free thinking.

Dizzy allows herself to be cuffed. She could tell from before that these men did not have any proper means to truly restrain her anyways. A quick search of her measly belongings provide no weapons for them to take either. She waches as the Merilith flat out refuses to cooperate. "Whats wrong demon? You act all high and mighty and yet here you are, afraid to be without your precious weapons. Are you really so impotent that you cannot go but a day without them protecting you? Do these men you proclamed to be worms really intimidate you so much?"
