Dastan stands over the dead crocodile for a few moments, breathing heavily. Finally, he reaches into a pocket and pulls out an old, lightly oiled rag to wipe the blood and grime off of his blade, still not talking and firmly ignoring his companions' actions. Finally, when he's certain that the weapon has been properly cared for, he turns back to the others. "Our mission is accomplished. Go ahead and retrieve whatever it is that Lamm stole from you, but it's now time to report Lamm's death to the magistrates, so that they can make inquiries into dealing with the rest of Lamm's minions and enterprises." He turns to Atavian and Tallox, then asks in his oddly resonant tenor, "Now then, one more thing. Your... 'Friend' rather clearly is not what you said he was. I expect a proper explanation, if you please." He silently calls upon Iomedae's guidance, seeing if any of the others in the room have the taint of evil upon them. When he finds nothing, he relaxes slightly.

Dastan will now activate his Detect Evil ability, sweeping it over each of the other people in the room in turn. Obviously, nobody actually detects as evil at this point.
