Smashed World, Part II

As the party converses, the queue moves and soon the elves in front of you are being questioned by the gate guard. It takes only a while, the elves opening their backpacks and showing the insides to the guards and then being let through.

As your turn comes and you approach the guard post, one of them comes forward to address you.
"Halt! We have orders from the mayor to stop and question each and everyone who is to come through the gate."
The guards man is young, probably in his late teens or early twenties.
 

Whispering to the party "We are well-armed, do we want to risk losing our equipment? Yes, we want to show that we mean no harm, but this doesn't garuntee that we can retrieve what we lose later on. Any ideas? Sneaking in can make us look like we wish harm to the lady if we get caught. Any ideas?"
 

Durban

Just as quietly, Durban replies, "I don't think carrying simple side arms is a sign of aggression. We should be fine." Durban takes an idle piece of cloth and peace-ties his short sword.
 

Horros snorts from frustration, and says to the guard, "Horros is my name, and I'm just a traveling mercenary. I'm going to stay in this city for a day or two until I continue my travels. I don't intend to cause any trouble, unless someone causes it to me first. Now, may I pass?"
 


"I think I just said it. I'm currently an unemployed mercenary, that’s traveling around with no particular reason, and I'm going to stay in your beautiful city for a couple of days to rest before I continue onwards to some other town."

Durban pipes in. "I'm a holy man on a quest. I'll be here until Xan Yae tells me to move on." He smiles joyously at the guard.
 

"Thank you, sir.
In case you didn't already know, there is going to be a major wedding in two days. Since everybody has been invited -you included, there are no off-going ships that day.
Have a nice stay."
The guard motions you to carry on through the gate.
