“Hired muscle, to control and transport a chimera, based upon her work. That’s what we’re here to talk to Archmage Henzler about… A chimera.”
“And the Archmage… She knows you?” the Tower Guardian asks, clearly skeptical. “She is quite busy, and… Delegations to meet her are usually scheduled.”
"Tell her that Roth the blacksmith is here,” the senior Infiltrator demands. “Tell her that it is about her work with Ismena Rossguard.”
The Tower’s female mage-guardian knocks upon the door, summoning a servant of some sort in a smaller cap and with a vertically-striped raiment, to whom she relays the message. The servant scurries away, the door is shut, and you four wait for his return with permission to enter.
