You decide to speak to the guards. No route like the direct route, right? And walking through the gates feels like a better idea than clambering over the walls like some kind of… criminal.

“You sure about this?” hisses Laskus as you approach the gates.

“Greetings, good citizens,” you say to the pair. One guard is tall, lithe, like a runner. The other is stocky, shorter, and also older-looking, with a wrinkled face. Both of them look like veterans of, well… more action than you have seen.

“What is it, peasant?” says the taller man. He speaks in an unfamiliar accent; one of the hired mercenaries from overseas, you assume.

“We are here to pick up a delivery,” you say. It was the first idea that came to mind.

The taller guard is still eyeing you suspiciously, but the older man intervenes. “Must be to dispose of the Baron’s personal refuse,” he mutters. “That’s why it’s not a merchant.”

Picking up on this, you nod enthusiastically, though a part of you is deeply concerned about what you might be getting into. “That’s right, brave guards. We are highly discrete in such work. That’s why we were called.”
