[QUOTE="Platostotle, post: 6944149, member: 6864361"] The ruling council is concerned about retribution leading to further chaos within the city. At least one of them (the one we know is evil) was bribed by the cultists and has concerns about being revealed, and is the main force pushing for their punishment and secrecy, but none are actually affiliated. The city is a port city, and the fight happened in a private dock used for smuggling (the cult was smuggling dragon eggs, one of which the players unwittingly returned to the mother), the city guard did notice the fight, but passed it off as a raid against the smugglers. There is at least one other group that knows the truth, a group of good aligned assassins who target evil nobles who can't be brought to justice by the laws of the city. The characters are currently outside of the city, but on returning I plan to have them arrested while passing through the gates. The will be trapped between the outer gate and a portcullis with murder holes over head. They could certainly try to fight their way out, but their odds would be slim, and knowing this group I doubt they would try. [/QUOTE]
