2E 477

The land is good. The war against neighboring Termina is going well and will soon be over. However a new "problem" has caught the kings eyes. We are informed of two spies in our capital city (Petoskay) and we have reason to believe that assassins are readying to strike at any moment. You have been summoned by the king. He awaits your arrival at the castle. Good luck.


   [You walk into the kings palace and he greats you.]
  
  You:      What is it, my king?
  King:     I have been waiting for you. You must have heard about the spies and the assassins in the city, am I right?
  You:      Yes, I have.
  King:     You have been chosen to kill them, you have done this work before; you can do it again.
  You:      Yes king. Is there anything we know about the spies and the assassins?
  King:     We know only a little, and that little is only for one of the two spies, but it will help.
  You:      Alright, what is it?
  King:     The spies are doing their best to keep a low profile and be as one of our people, but one has failed. We have reason to believe that one of the spies is soon to make a delivery to Freds butcher shop. Do you know where that is? 
  You:      Yes king.
  King:     Well he is getting the swine he ordered from the south-west part of the city. Thats where he grow the swine after all. He must be there somewhere.
  You:      We know nothing of the other spy? Or the assassins?
  King:     Well we do know something of the other spy. My right-hand man and most trusted friend, Aiadial, will tell you.
  Aiadial:  This information applies to both spies, sir. Both of them have brand marks on their arms that resemble snakes. This must be so they know whose on their side. You will use this against them. We know nothing at all about the assassin, and yes there is only one. Hopefully by the time the spies are dead the assassin will leave. It is all we can hope for. King Clavicus, please continue. 
  King:     Thank you, Aiadial. (he turns his attention to you) Here, take this (he hands to some farmers clothing and an axe). You will need those if you hope to blend in with the people. Leave your armor here. You can come back for it later. And thank you, your service does your both your king and your country a great favor.
  You:      It pleases me to serve you.


       [And with that you turn around and leave the castle.]
