The City

Riding into the gate was easy, the guards didn't even give us a second glance. Once we get inside, the city is bustling with taverns, traders, and all kinds of businesses. It's filled with nicely built homes and buildings.

These are the people who ignored my pleas for help. In the end though, I do not feel any hatred towards these people. Even if they had tried to help they would have just been slaughtered.

After looking around, we confirm that it's just as John had said, minimal security in the town, but the Mansion is packed with guards.

"Just great, how the hell are we supposed to kill him, when he is surrounded by hundreds of guards. It's a lost cause, let's just head back and get a different bounty." Miss Thief irritably ask.

"Miss Thief, if you want to leave, that's perfectly fine. I am staying here and completing the bounty." I refused to allow her to persuade me. I will kill him and nothing anyone says will stop me.

"Fine." She spits obviously irritated. "Why don't we split up and prepare then meet back here in two hours?" She asks exasperated.

"Alright that works for me. See you then." I wave and walk off. First I head to the stable and sell one of my horses for 50 silver. The man was quite happy with the quality and gave me a high price for it. After selling my horse, I ask around and find a nearby equipment shop.

After asking around I finally find it and enter. The walls are covered in impressive shields and swords, while the walls are lined up with dummies wearing different sets of armor. The rows in the middle are full with gloves and smaller weapons.

After a minute of browsing, a kind old man with a long white beard walks up to me. "Hello kiddo, anything I can help you with?"

Smiling, "Yah I was wondering if you have a good set of leather armor?"

"Yes of course just over here." He waves for me to follow him. He leads me to a area of the store near the back, and shows me around twenty different sets of leather armor.

After browsing the shop for around an hour, I buy a set of black leather armor for seven silvers, black boots for 80 coppers, black gloves for 30 coppers, two small knives to hide in my boots for 2 silver, a dark green hooded cloak for 4 silvers, and finally a Dark green plane smooth mask with only eye slits for 1 silver 50 copper.

After buying all these items, I am left with 36 silver. After I change into them, I look like a forest scout with two swords on my back.

After the two hours are up, I meet back up with Miss Thief.
