Duke Miguel Rollo Has an public forum after noon for a few hours, he will not have a private meeting. He will however dismiss the public, guards and the Special Division will stay in the forum.
As the group enters the evening meeting there's a small line of folk giving gifts to the Duke, after presenting their gift they speak of local issues. There is a group of various humans stood behind him more well equipped than the rest of the guard in the room, Zyllis recognises these as Miguel's special division, one of which is Sarren an Elven Conjuration Wizard who was apart of Blinding Spear, a quiet and odd fellow often using teleportation to get others in and out of enemy territory quickly, he sees Zyllis and locks eyes but otherwise doesn't acknowledge him.

The Elf stands next to Miguel, wearing fine robes, Maiq and Hope notice he does not blink at all. If the group causes any unrest Miguel will signal the Elf and he'll place a hand on the Duke's shoulder, preparing dimension door. The same is done if they ask for a private meeting, he returns by asking why, if he sees suitable will dismiss the public, guards and special division stay.
