[QUOTE="nittanytbone, post: 2520789, member: 35709"] You could consider this a "case argued before a third party (i.e., the authorities vs the PCs debated in front of the guards)" and roll a diplomacy, intimidate, or bluff check for the guard's leader or boss as an opposed roll. They'd get some significant helping rolls and a circumstantial bonus. If the PCs win then they manage to convince a majority of the guards that their boss is in the wrong -- while that doesn't mean that they get let go, perhaps that could be exploited if they work on the weaker minded individuals and/or use magic. For example, maybe Larry on the third shift night watch is swayed by the PCs, gets charmed (either through magic or or personality), and is convinced to set them free. If the PCs lose the opposed check, then the guards are unphased, most of them think their boss has good reasons to bring in the PCs and/or supplies appropriate inducements, and they do their job professionally.
