Take a job as a guard
Find a job in town
You two are a little ways ahead in time. Guard job get, the local apothecary has need of some aquatic herbs, still need guards, theres also a rather creepy merchant hanging about.
Jump across buildings, still looking for a way I can help. Attempt to be stealthy about it
You catch sight of a huge red armored warrior walking alone.
"And if I could change that? We aren't exactly in a position to be picky here. Most of your men couldn't even lift one of my swords let alone wield both 1/10th as fast as I do. If you want to win this with more then a handful of your men alive we need the help. I'll keep it in line."
"Ahem. So, where do you want me, sir?"
Ask officer. Go and do what he tells me to
"Follow the lady to the dungeon. Keep her from letting him free. Loose is fine."Comply.
the moment her blood touches his tongue he is dragged into the most intense vision he has yet had. (5) Her blood drags his mind down the street, to the tower, and down beneath its depths. There he can see a huge stockpile of Breach stones, one of which glows with Athri's fire.
Damned sneaky magician, get away from here!
Try to throw something heavy at the magician, and let there be exploding gas.
Athri's initial assault on the city consisted of a barrage of magical explosives setting the city on fire and shattering buildings. Appropriately, large chunks of buildings are available for throwing. (5) your volley sends the mage sprawling. He is out of his circle and he applies whatever effect was in his hand to his dagger. It seems to shift between various spell effects as he watches. The smoke cloud is released.
Back to the river with me!
1/2 way to the river, you catch sight of a creature on a rooftop and a red armored warrior.
