The two continued riding into the night. By the time Negliv was in sight, it was nearing dawn. Seth knew the horses were getting tired, but they could last till they reached the city. Once they got within a mile of the cities giant outer walls, Seth motioned them to Nurgle to stop. "We shall walk from here. Give the horses some rest."
As they neared the gate, Seth could see a major marketplace just beyond the wall. It was probably set up there to instantly bombard tourists and travelers with items and suvoniers. "Keep your head low and your mouth shut. Refuse any merchindise you're offered by claiming we have no money." Though he has no money, I have a minor fortune in my pocket. I should watch for pick-pockets here. It would be unfortunate to chance ruining the plan this early.
Once they reached the gates a guard stopped them. "Hey! You two, over here!." They walked over, doing as told. It wouldn't pay to arouse any suspicion. "Who are you and why are you coming to our great capital. Considering your clothes I'd wager your some kinda priest and hes some kinda soldier." Seth smiled, Best to play along for now. "Why yes good sir you are exactly right. I am a high priest from Conud and he is a mercenary hired to protect me. My name is Meldi, and he is Piltsa. We are here because I am here to give a sermon at the local Cathedral and he was paid to guard me until my safe return home. Is there anything else my good man?" The guard just shook his head, "No thanks. I wouldn't have even bothered ya if it wasn't protocal. You two stay safe here." Seth smiled and motioned for Nurgle to follow. "Don't worry sir, we shall stay safe." The two proceded into the town.
