After returning to the group (one of the bodyguards chasing her) Gaia and the rest of the party found themselves evenly matched, and almost lost Fingers to them, when the Sheriff showed up with about 40 guards and dragged them off to jail. After being left in a holding cell for a bit, they met the Mayor, who explained to them that Fingers had been working on an artificial body for McDougall I, who was older than anyone could remember, but his son McDougall II had been the one that commissioned him.McDougal II had been trying for years to make a power -grab for the city, but has only been able to bribe 1/3 of the guards. His intent was to use Fingers's design as a prototype for a robot army to make up the difference in force, and he thought Fingers was holding out on him.
On top of that, McDougall III now had it in for them, and had been looking all over town for them (thinking they'd been released). The Mayor offered to protect them if they helped to resolve the issue by eliminating McDougall II for him, solving his power struggle issues.
