Amira steps forward as the guards step onboard and start questioning the party. "We came to visit sage Kyot, when these brutes attacked us. Their reasons are beyond my imagination, but it seems they were expecting us. They were led by a masked spellcaster, who fled before you arrived."The guards arrive, three boats full of them. The boss (Captain? sargeant? leader?) and other five guards climb on the ship and stand before you, hands on hips, and looks around. The other guards rescue a floating beastman corpse from the water.
"What the hell happened here?"
"We came to visit sage Kyot, when these brutes attacked us. Their reasons are beyond my imagination, but it seems they were expecting us. They were led by a masked spellcaster, who fled before you arrived."
"Besides the beastmen the mage had a lackey, a warrior, who I saw speaking to you earlier. You would be wise to put him in shackles. Where is he anyway?"
"Some of the damage was unintentionally made by our group as we were defending ourselves from the attack, but we were not responsible for this," Amira says waving her hand at the surrounding carnage. "Don't you think we would tried to run away, if we were the villains here? I don't know if the man fled or is trying to frame us, but I'll assure he belongs to the guilty party."Someone said:“Forget that. Look, the man you said informed us that you were responsible for the current damage. So…” he pauses.
“Are you sure you made him flee?”
