“If you could hit one of the southern armories, or even one of the barracks in south-western quarter of the city, it would do wonders for us.” “Aaahh, ssso you want usss to pull the Ssskrellitsss away from the north-eassst.” Morbal leaned back in his chair and drained the glass that he had been staring at for the past while. He looked wistfully into the glass whilst turning it over in his hands. Ustris could only imagine what was going through his head at this point. “Aye. We do be able to do thisss that you asssk. Do remember your promisssesss when thisss isss through, however.”
Ustris nodded.
“You have my word. Kleine and I will travel across the city to the Champion’s palace tonight. If all goes well, we should be back before the morning with another Shard in our possession.” “Fortune be with usss thisss night.” Morbal said. Ustris couldn’t tell if it was a proclamation or a prayer to his God.
…
Shortly after a couple of the Naga left the warehouse with barrels strapped to their backs, Ustris and Kleine followed an anxious human out of the warehouse. The man with them was the one who had reported earlier, when he heard that the two of them were leaving for the Champion’s palace he immediately told them he could guide them there. Not wanting to make too much of a scene they agreed readily and after a few moments of preparations were sneaking off towards the north-eastern quarter of the city.
The streets were mostly empty here, all of the Skrellits had retired for the night. The only people who still roamed the streets were human servants whom were busy with errands, none of which gave Ustris or Kleine a second glance. No guard patrols stopped them, or were even close enough for them to hear. The entire quarter seemed completely relaxed and off-guard as they walked through un-prohibited.
Soon after entering the district the scout pointed at a building much larger than the ones around it. “That’s the one boss. We haven’t been able to get in there yet, or talk to any of the servants inside, but that’s the one he’s in.”
It was an impressive sight, a three story building surrounded by a well-kempt garden out front. Banners could be seen hanging from a few of the windows, along with two flying above the house as well. One of the banners was the symbol of Libra, the other had to be a personal banner of the Champion. The main doors to the house were wide enough to accept some of the wagons he had seen from the days when he had been in the ore mines, easily tall enough for three humans standing on each other’s shoulders to walk into, and wide enough for five men abreast. Ustris thought that the palace could probably fit two of the warehouses in it with room to spare.
“If it’s alright with you, boss, I’d rather sit out here and wait for you. I’d probably just slow you down.”
“Of course.” “Hide yourself, make sure you aren’t seen.” “Right, my lady.” The scout bobbed his head and scurried off into a nearby alleyway. Ustris was fixated on the palace however, he was looking for a place to enter.
