Looks like the string is not around her waist, but around her neck, stragulating her.
How is that 'not to be touched or harmed' ?

That..... that kinda looks like both touching and been very harmful. Honestly I want to know what information they have beyond rumours and not doing anything to Piper.
No way grinny and co get out of this with no repercussions with the mage king going burn them all for setting this up. Certain elements of heroland also going you idiots did what!? then possibly also burning things. Lastly followed by they're own gov/leaders facepalming and screaming at them for starting a horrible amount of burning so lets just throw you into it.
Whelp time to put on Burning Ring of Fire!

Notice how Burk has been just chilling eating, yep, this is gonna suck, for THEM.

Is he suddenly thou-ing her to express contempt? Because if so, that's a pretty neat thing to see in a modern story.

Meanwhile, Burk is mid-chew.
@Brite - Ghouls speak like that. This one is sane, and so usually speaks a bit differently.

She's not part of Burk's 5-Point Plan team, she can go.

I would use the Alvarian diplomat as human shield instead

@A_voice_from_the_shadows Well, they may be being extremely literal about 'touching', in which case 'use a power on' is not 'touch', and as for 'harm', so far they haven't done anything actually damaging.

@Ghost The Iron Judge is absolutely not kick a fuss up, as long as Piper is returned alive. This is politics on a high level.
Whats a bigger concern is how they will deal with this Ghoul. Evile seems rather scared. So i doubt she can exercise it.
Either Burk pulls a trick out his rear. Or Pablo works word magic.

Evyle's time to shine, mayhaps?
Not that Evyle hasn't been shining in the past...
Really outside of Pablo all four of the companions could prove very troublesome for this pair even if they were alone.

The string looks like it's doing strange things in that final panel. Like, it goes behind the food and behind Arla, but then it goes in front of Alf and Pablo and the others. Plus it makes a sudden height jump between disappearing behind the food and reappearing behind Arla.
