Dastan does his best to keep his face impassive, hiding the rage he feels at the Queen's betrayal of her people with a careful mask of perfect propriety. When the Queen and her retinue arrives he bows to exactly the degree that would be expected of one of his station, then waits politely as Kroft and Ileosa converse, averting his golden eyes from the ruler as he intently looks at everything but her. When bidden he replies, "Indeed, your Majesty, it appears that the entire plague was conceived by these traitors. Most likely, they intended to use their 'expertise' to gain a position of influence within the city, to further some sort of dark plot. We have killed or captured every known member of the cult; if there are any more Urgathoans in the city they are likely unaffiliated with this group." The Paladin delivers his report with military precision, purposely avoiding any topic which might lead onto dangerous ground; his allies are far better equipped for such conversations than he is. For a moment Dastan considers calling upon Iomedae's judging eye to take advantage of the presence of both Ileosa and her Seneschal, but quickly resists the temptation as potentially dangerous in front of at least one mage.
