[Muffet grimaces, making an uncertain motion with one hand.]

I'm hesitant to focus the majority of our damage on the docks, specifically- they seemed to be the part of the city with the loosest attachment to their horrible laws, and one of the proprietors of an inn there was the only person who appeared to be willing to actually warn outsiders that they might be walking into danger instead of simply standing back and allowing their guards to take them.

[Let's not set the innkeeper guy on fire, okay? They seemed nice.]

Our main goal is freeing our friends, of course, but I'm a bit worried about what we'd be leaving behind us afterward- if more travelers are unlucky enough to find the place in the future, I'd prefer they not come to a nasty end because we attacked the only ones who would have been inclined to sympathy.

[She pauses, a thought occurring to her.]

Although... if you were willing to take a greater risk for a distraction, I do recall one notably flammable location, given that it was one of the few places in the city that had large amounts of paper on the premises.

It pains me to suggest burning a library, even one with such regrettably repetitive taste, but it would certainly draw their attention.
