Flynn is confused by the conundrum the group faces. "I am curious as to what we do. John here seems like a nice guy... ok, check that, Sunny Jim seems nice, Sunny John tried to kill us for no reason. I mean, obviously we don't kill him, I'm not suggesting that. But, if we turn him loose, he will just rob the next group that comes through. What's the play here?"

"It does seem those are our choices: Execute him, let him go, or escort him back to town to face justice," Daos comments.

"Umm...are y'all going to Capritol?" he says. "You could take me there, and I could apply as a warden, like you suggested! And, umm, also...I don't think I've ever actually stolen anything? Successfully, I mean. Is that a crime? I don't know, I'm not a lawyer."

"I suppose we could escort him there with us," Daos says. "That way we could at least keep an eye on him."

"You know, this has been very inconvenient. If you had just fought to the death, we could have killed you and avoided this whole moral quandary. Dreadfully rude of you.
I suppose we have to bring you along though. Not like we can really disarm you without killing the bear, and that's a bit much. Hopefully you're a better warden than bandit."

Daos can tell that John is definitely telling the truth.

Sunny John, still tied up, rides on Sunny Jim with the party for the rest of the day. After setting up camp and taking a rest, you travel for a few more hours and arrive at the edge of Capritol.
To call Capritol a city would be a bit generous. Certainly, there are more houses, farmland, and people on the streets compared to Ren. But despite the paved streets and mildly impressive castle, it still maintains a distinctly townish feel. A few guards take a brief moment to inspect you, and while they're a bit surprised by the bear (and the tied-up human on top of it), they let you pass. There doesn't appear to be any buildings other than houses on the first street you walk on to, but there is a small crowd of people, listening to an old man on a podium scream about the end of the world.

Daos unties John at this point. "Please try and stay out of trouble from here on out," he tells the ranger.
Then he moves toward the podium, curious as to what this doomsayer is prophesying.

John salutes, clearly grateful for being let loose.
"IT'S THE END OF THE WOOOORLD!" cries the old man, who fits every stereotype of the "crazy old man." "I have been to the Darklands and back...the return-the calamity-I HAVE SEEN HIM! All skin and bones without the skin!"

Daos quietly says to one of the people in the audience, "What's going on? Why is everyone even listening to this guy?"

"Well, I don't have anything better to do," the man replies. "It beats standing around NOT listening to him scream about the apocalypse."
"IT'S TRUE!" the old man screams. "The barriers will be broken! ASOMODUES WILL RULE!"

Shrugging, Daos returns to the others. "Well, shall we try and gain an audience with the duke straight away?" he asks.

"I see no reason to delay." Flynn looks around the town a bit before adding. "We can do any sightseeing after we try to request the assistance." Flynn hears the doomsayer speaking and wonders if this is normal crazy, or a special crazy compared to normal.

If the location of the duke's manor/castle/home is not obvious, Daos will ask around for directions to get there.
