[Haspen]

~&~

The guard came back after few minutes and stared at Gregor for a moment.

"Are you, perchance, of von Hexham family?"

[Powder Miner]

Alexander had his shield out and covering most of his body, though his javelin was untouched. He seemed strangely not too tense, though then again his face was partially hidden by that shield. When the guard questioned Gregor about his heritage, the shield moved up a bit, covering more of his face.

[Gamerboy4life]

"Maybe we should have pretended to be traveling performers..." Valor whispered, mostly to himself.

"A traveling band of performers armed to the teeth and covered in steel? It's highly implausible even a child would fall for that."

[Sirus]

Gregor weighed his options. Even if he wasn't wanted by the entire country any more, if Grummel was working with Prixima he'd likely order his troops to attack if Gregor told the truth. Better to try deception this time, maybe.

: "von Hexham family? No, I can't say I am. Never even heard of them."

[Haspen]

"Then Count Grummel has no time for ye. Come back next week." After that, he and the other guard moved toward their respective posts, and the gate was still closed.

[freeformschooler]

: "Ooh! Ooh! Let's break in!"

[Haspen]

The guards, with Charlotte well within their earshot, glared at her angrily.

[Sirus]

: "...No one. Say. Anything."

[freeformschooler]

: "I was just joking... we should totally do it"

[Haspen]

"Also, your caravan is blocking the road. Move away or you will be fined forty coins."

[Sirus]

Gregor doublefacepalmed and spoke quietly to the group as he began to lead the wagon away.

: "So it's either Charlotte's suggestion or I admit I lied. Or we simply rush the front door and slaughter everyone...but I'd rather not do that."

[freeformschooler]

Charlotte scooted over to Gregor.

: "Psst. Pst. We could always... push in from the rear."

[Powder Miner]

Alexander's shield over his face almost covered the facepalm. But not quite.

[Sirus]

@ Charlotte

: "You're saying we try the back door?
...Do castles have back doors? I know Kesselring Fort did..."

[Gamerboy4life]

Gregor doublefacepalmed and spoke quietly to the group as he began to lead the wagon away.

: "So it's either Charlotte's suggestion or I admit I lied. Or we simply rush the front door and slaughter everyone...but I'd rather not do that."

"Or, we could tell them the semi-truth. You were unsure of giving your exact name in fear of assassins, but due to the urgency of meeting this noble guy, you've grudgingly decided to reveal it to these lowly soldiers."
