Cagil News Agency Dispatch:
With Estonite assistance, Makarian troops breached Talerium defenses at Cantril and rampaged in interior Cagilan regions. However the undisciplined Makarian raiders were quickly encircled and annihilated by Cagilan forces before they could do much damage. Several Makarian nobles were reportedly captured and held for ransom. Had they remained at Nazamroth, the outcome of the subsequent battles might have been different.
This implies the Barony ever pays ransom. It also ignores the fact that a good number of them have escaped already. (Third stone from the left, mate.)
