After traveling for a few days and passing a few towns already, a town comes into focus from the horizon and you notices the sign 'Welcome to Graywall". The sign seems moderately weathered and damaged through vandalism and bad weather. |

I get a better feeling about this place than everywhere else I've passed. I proceed to Graywall, weary from having travelled so far, seeking some respite. |

The smell of fresh bread, herbs and an array of spices as you walk through into the town. Some of the locals don't seem to happy to see a new person in town, frowning at you and moving their children away from you. |

Ignoring them, I flip a gold piece around as I search for somewhere to fill up my waterskins and grab something to eat. Perception Check: 15+10 |

You quickly notice a well as you flip your gold piece. There is also a bakery off to one side of the village. |

The baker seems to flinch slightly as you enter the bakery. He seemed to be studying you intently before saying "Oh. I thought you where one of those thieves for a moment there. Sorry. If you're looking for food, It's all in the room around the back." He mumbles something along the lines of 'Damn thieves' and then waits for a response from you. |

"Edor the inkeeper. He's been here far longer than the rest of us, and sadly no. We don't have any town guards. We used to have a small army, but with no mayor specifically, we can't afford to spend money on hiring people when all of our stuff keeps getting stolen. It's such a shame." |

"Well, I wouldn't want you to risk your life for a town you have only just come across, but if you can sort it out I would be very grateful." He walks into the second room he mentioned earlier and comes back with a fresh loaf of bread. "Here, you can have this. I know it must sound silly, but wanting to help with this problem has really made my day. Not much happens here, otherwise." |

You walk in to the tavern, and despite it being larger than you expected, it's also much emptier too. An old, Elvern man appears to be sleeping clumsily opposite the door beside the desk. |

This time he opens both of his eyes and stares at you intently. "It's the thieving guild... They took over the 'six Kings' Mine shift by the base of the Greywall mountains just south of here. It being close to a city like this, and having the capitol just a bit further would make sense to them." |

Well you just managed to get over, but I wouldn't say you managed to do it smoothly (Or quietly at that), and a voice echos from inside a now clearly obvious shaft. "Hey. You should be in here by now-" A guy walks into view. He looks pretty beat up, but he doesn't look any weaker. "We're about to set off to Crag. Go get your stuff." He is speaking to you :P Edited by Kiyorii, Oct 21 2012, 02:55 PM.

You enter into a room of three people. One of them shouts "What time do you think this is?! We leave in ten minutes. Quickly, go get your stuff." Someone else points to a bag left on the side. (Containing a smoke bomb and some strange goggles). The third one says. "You're Jack, right? Classic newbie thing; being late that is." |

The first, loud person you heard says "Okay, so our group is in charge of getting rid of the guards inside the castle, and then opening the gates from the inside out. We're splitting out into pairs to cover the two main entry points." The man points to you and the third person from before and says "You two will take the south wall once we get up to the city, any questions?" |

They wait a few seconds before saying 'Okay. Follow me to the back of Crag where we can get up staying hidden.' The first two move out, but your assigned partner stays back and whispers to you "Stay here a second." He then shouts "we'll be there in a second I need to take Jack to the armory..." |

You and your partner head towards the back of the cliff wall thing to hear "Alright. Groups A and B, you're going up first then split up at the top. We need you to take out the first set of guards by the wall. Group C will be providing backup and then helping group D push forwards, where they will get in the grounds. From there, it's all D until the last group E can storm the castle, along with A and B. Got it?". As soon as the person finishes speaking, groups A and B start climbing. |
