There is no sign of other people until you get close to the city.  Nearer the city the caravan struggles back onto a road, having to stop several times and pay bribes to small armed groups from nearby compounds             Finally, the caravan moves into a walled caravansary on the outskirts of the city.  The city appears to be a massive collection of 2-3 story mud-covered brick buildings.   Most of the roads curve in circles around the center.  The streets that go straight in do not appear to go very far before ending at junctions.  There are few templars in evidence, but you can tell the wealthier citizens wear silk or clothes that mimic silk, while guards, laborers and slaves wear very simple garb. That night you are given spare uniforms, although Plool's is a different style, but similar in color. The Mul captain gives a short combat drill - drilling Alpha and Beta squads separately. Work together you brainless belogoi!  You’re a team now, stop running in different directions like headless Erdu!  Your survival may depend on the group! Afterward You have more time around a table to eat (simple fare) and talk among yourselves After a night in the barracks, it really feels like you have left slavery behind ... A new chapter begins.[GM]Advance your PC to level 3 take average hp + long rest.
