章 573: Strange Stage

After a lengthy discussion amongst themselves, Astaroth and his party voted to scout out the town before they chose their course of action. It wouldn't be a simple task, since they stood out like sore thumbs.

But after a bit of sneaking around, Astaroth found a dozen brown cloaks and drapes that they used to cover their traits and clothes. He had noticed during their first approach that a squad of crudely geared soldiers manned the main gate.

So they collectively opted to go in, passing themselves as travelling adventurers.

Cloaking themselves, they started using the main path down to the walls. There was no file to get in, and they made their way directly to the gates.

"Halt! Show your faces and state your purpose!" a guard shouted, raising one hand as the other went down to his scimitar at his belt.

Astaroth raised his hands to signal cooperation, before taking the hood of his head.
