Once the guards surrendered, they had limited options:Kill one group or the other? Certainly the most pragmatic but wasn't gonna happen.Let them both go? Now they're aiding and abetting an assassin and will have the kingdom after them as soon as the talon get back to Bresk. That is, after they hunt down the halflings/assassin anyway.Tie up the talon? That makes them Remhoraz bait.Their way, they get two things:One, they possibly give the girl her chance in court. If the king is decent, as his previous rep seems to imply, the talon may need proof to execute her.Two, turning themselves in gets them a day in court as well and at least aren't fugitives.And yes, upon arriving at the gate, they announced their situation with the talon guard yelling his. They were taken into 'custody' while the mess was sorted out. Obviously, they will to make their case. Ultimately they'll probably need to escape prison.In hindsight, perhaps the best option would have been to let the girl/halflings go, let the talon go after a delay, and then get Balan into Bresk independently, thus cutting themselves loose of the plot.Yeah, a variant of this could work.</blockquote>
