Shanty Town was effectively depopulated during the Night of the Red Knives. You should know ... after all, you helped do this ....

Do you still want to go there?

 

[Ra'Faz]

I didnt know they where ALL gone...geez.

Nope...I go to the Crow's Murder and lay low untill I hear from Pavel.

I didnt know they were ALL gone ... geez.

[I never said they were ALL gone, did I? I just said that the area was effectively depopulated ... a slight difference in semantics.]

In any event, do you still wish to go there (perhaps you can mug one of the stragglers) ... or do you wish to head back to the Crow's Murder?

 

[Ra'Faz]

I will walk to the gate....Not too sure what will happen.

I'm still in disguise as a old commoner.

Flamerule 23 (Evening)

You make your way towards the imposing wooden edifice of the Trade Gate. Although the gate is lightly garrisoned this evening, there are at least a dozen visible guards on patrol here (with obvious light sources).

As you progress towards the immense portal, you are approached by a Rashemi guard wearing chainmail armor and a black cloak. The guard holds a wicked-looking glaive over his right shoulder, and wears a longsword on his belt. He holds a lit lantern in his left hand.

[You suddenly realize that no travelers are using the gate at this hour.]

The guard spits on the ground, utters a muffled curse, and eyes you menacingly ....

"What is your business here vagrant? You may have escaped the culling of Trade Town, but I doubt you have a pass. Take your decrepit hide to the Citadel Gate; you'll be processed there ... along with all the other scum."

 

[Ra'Faz]

{{Not through the Trade Gate...there are 3 gate on the north wall. The one in the middle sorry}}

Flamerule 23 (Evening)

The Citadel Gate is even more imposing than the Trade Gate, and the area here is absolutely crawling with Aznar Thrul's soldiers. Although you cannot get a precise count, there are at least 40-50 visible guards here; some of them are mounted on sturdy warhorses and carry fearsome looking lances; others patrol on foot, wielding glaives and longswords.

As you approach the gate, you are stopped by a portly functionary in brown livery and several citadel soldiers wearing dark cloaks.

The functionary pulls out a ledger and quill. He looks at you with a contemptuous sneer.

"Name?" he asks in a curt tone.

The soldiers stare at you scornfully and tighten their grip on their glaives. One of them shines his lantern directly in your face ....

((Can I mentaly obscure a minor feature....such as make it appear I have no tounge?))

Can I mentally obscure a minor feature ... such as make it appear [as if] I have no tongue?

Yes. Do you do anything else? The overweight bureaucrat is waiting for an answer ....

[By the way, did you know that I have officially coined a new term for unreasonable DMs?]
