Damien stops in mid conversation with one of the excise clerks to see another larger contingent of guardsmen escorting a tall, barrel-chested and badly scarred man wearing little more than a bear shirt and a large sledge-hammer at his back. A steppes barbarian... in a bear-sark... here? Damien turns to watch the odd group walk through the room towards the second story staircase as the rest of the clerks fall silent. It is only then that he notices the other man with the disheveled appearance dressed in leathers and carrying a sword and round shield at his back. Two out-of-towers, both armed to the teeth and being escorted up to the second floor... Damien watches as the group disapears upstairs.The room is soon abuzz with conjecture but once again falls silent as the guards reappear at the top of the stairs, being led by their female guard-captain but without the two barbarians in tow. Damien again turns to watch the delegation of guards leave the Excise House quickly and without so much as a glance back. Seems they're only to happy to leave their charges behind too. It appears that Tremance's problem is more dangerous than I first thought if he's felt the need to hire a pair of barbarian mercenaries from out of town. He's got the makings of a war-party sitting in his office now. Amazing that they're being left alone up there. Damien looks towards the large double doors leading out and back to the second floor stairs. Do I want to get mixed up with that ragtag bunch and Tremance's problem? Hmm... Best go and see what those two are about before Tremance gets back.</blockquote>
