"I'm Matthias and this is Jozoll we are guards in training- er were in training at the city garrison. I come bearing a message for the crown prince from captain Laro.
There is a pause, clearly the sentries weren't expecting that response, but they recover quickly as one says "Right, two men claiming to be recruits, out wandering between the siege line and the city. Just so happened to be bearing a message for the crown prince. Let me guess you want to deliver it to the prince personally." You can hear the sarcasm dripping from the man's voice, but you respond, earnestly.
" I was just told to deliver the letter to the Prince. As long as it makes it to him, that's all that matters."
There is another pause before the man says " All right, I'll take you to the sergeant he'll sort this out."
A dark shape rises from the grass in front of you and orders you forward. You are led into the light of a campfire and set down nearby. A sergeant comes and you explain your story to him, showing him your now crumpled and slightly bloodstained letter from Laro. The sergeant takes one look at the letter, then kicks you up the chain of command to his lieutenant. You explain your story to the lieutenant and he kicks you to his captain. The captain kicks you to his superior and so on, until a nobleman who looks like he was just roused from sleep, is brought forward. You explain your story for what must be the sixth or seventh time while the nobleman reads the letter, you brought. After you finish your explanation and the nobleman finishes the letter, he simply says "We best notify the prince." And he and his gaggle of men head off further into the camp, leaving you and Joz with a sizable contingent of guards around the campfire. You wait in awkward silence for a while, before the captain you had spoken to earlier, comes back and orders you to follow him. You are led through the camp and brought before a large and lavish tent. Inside the Prince stands along with the men you'd explained your story to as well as a few others. You explain your story, for what you hope is the last time to the prince himself.
> You will explain to the prince the basic story of your escape from the city. Are there any particular details or observations you would like to add in addition to Laro's letter?
