Since I wasn't sure if Daylilly would be bashing in his brains, I figured I'd better get it in while I could. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />[/gm]"This way, Parsons! I heard the sounds of battle, and I'm sure that was Caan's voice!""Milord, please, let the men go first! We can't bodyguard a noble if he rushes ahead of us into a waiting arrow!"As if repeated mention of his name seems to have summoned him, Gabbiano's voice drifts out of the wood, followed soon after by the man himself, stumbling into the clearing with the commander you met before and a handful of Venzan guardsmen rushing to keep up with the eager noble. Finia rounds out the retinue, from the back, slightly disheveled and clearly flustered from all the tromping around in the outdoors."Thank the gods!" Gabbiano cries out as he sees the party gathered around the bound form of the sleeping Caan to debate his final disposition. He steers clear of the dog corpses as he does so. "You've caught him. See, Parsons, I told you they seemed industrious. And my ... my property? Did you--?"Gabbiano doesn't finish as something catches his eye. While the commander and his men rush to cover Caan, Gabbiano makes a beeline for the southeast corner of the house where light glints off something. He reaches down and gently, as if the merest touch might shatter it, picks up the wand Caan had earlier thrown to the ground, regarding it with unabashed awe.Commander Parsons, clearly a bit confused by the noble's behavior, turns to you. "Lord Gabbiano seemed to think you might have gotten yourselves into some trouble. It appears he was right."</blockquote>
