Enter Garanasseur...

As you enter the city, the mechanical gates behind you close. Purple- and steel-colored sparks fly as they do, and there seems to be an unusual resistance against the mechanical workings of the gate. However, after a few moments, it closes shut with a resounding *clang*.

The city before you is a simple one. Many of the buildings inside the walls are crammed together, and the roads between them are nothing more than dirt trails. A clock tower lies in what seems to be the center of town. Few folk walk the street, although there does seem to be a small crowd a little ways down the road on your left.

"That was good work back there," The man with the torchlight speaks to you, as he finishes closing the gate. "You took care of that critter right quick." He surveys the group. "Aye, Nathan is the only one of yer lot I reco'nize - I let 'im out 'round noon this mornin'." He stops, seeming to remember something. "Ah, yes - Nathan was sent to fetch a few who were fightin' some 'Kreens up north! You'd be dem, then, wouldn't ye!"
 


Thomas looks surprised for a moment at Nathan's mention of the Council, then turns back to the gate.

"Kain, get your arse in gear!" He addresses one of the workmen. "Send a message to the Council: Nathan's back, an' he's got dem fighters from the north they wanted!"

The figure he was speaking to pulls out a piece of parchment, scribbles on it rapidly, rolls it up, and throws it to a man standing on a platform near a few horses that appear to be saved for this occassion. He leaps down upon one of the horses and rides deep into the city, towards the clocktower.

Thomas turns back towards you. "Yer message should be there shortly. Ye might want to be headin' there now, as they'll be expectin' ye short-like. They're meetin' in the clocktower right now."
 

"I think we should find a room at an inn or ask this guard if theres a stable nearby, I certainly wouldn't like my things left unguarded on this donkey."

(When Sahgrim will manifest Conceal Thoughts as well and use his mask to look more like the villagers around him, although keeping his same attire.)

"Don't worry, its still me."
 

The guard looks surprised at Sahgrim for a moment, but then realizes that it is still him when he speaks. "There is an inn not too far from 'ere that I would recom'nd to any trav'ler - The Ace of Diamonds. They haven't got th' best ale in town, but they have plenty of space and warm beds. They might've a stable - never bothered to look, meself - but ye can leave yer mounts here at the gate, if ye like, free of charge."

In the distance, the clocktower resounds with the deep echoes of a drum four times.

Shardorn glances uneasily at the clocktower. "I don't like this. We should be going there, and soon, if not now."

Sahgrim - you manage to manifest Conceal Thoughts, though it seems more difficult here than it was out on the plains.

Jansson is somewhat disturbed by Shardon's unease.

"Is everything allright? We could make for the Council right now if you wish?"

He turns his horse to look back at the gate, his own feeling of unease growing. He stares carefully at the gate and surrounding area, looking for anything out of the ordinary. He shifts his sword around to a handier position.

"I think we should move, and quickly. I've got a bad feeling..."
 

Osius leaves Snack at the gate and makes a mental note on the clocktower.

"Right. Last one there... will probably be me."
