Tegan was elated to see the towering gates of the city. Stones the size of men, both tall and wide, stacked upon one another. A true testament to the strength of a Kingdom is the strength of its walls... or so Tegan had always believed. He was so caught up in the moment he'd almost forgot where he was.
"Oyah! Are you deaf? I said state yer business." A scrawny guard stood at the gate's opening pointing his spear at Tegan and his men. Shaking his head to gather his composure. He looked back at his crew, both Knotch and Plum had similar reactions to the city and did their best to make sinister smiles look like pleasant travelers. He let his hand venture forth and gesture to his men and then swung it wide back towards the guard, finally bringing it into his chest and bowing as he did.
"I meant no disrespect, my fellow travelers and I were just in awe of the city. We're but humble tradesmen. Traveling the dunes scavenging for lost trinkets and things. We only wish to bring our goods and services here to the city of Nippur." Tegan finished with his head down and then glanced up with a smile. As the guard looked past Tegan at Knotch and Plum, who bowed slightly, and then to the ten other men and the cart they pulled. It was filled with all of their weapons, along with the items and supplies of the travelers they had devoured on their journey to the city of Nippur, unbeknownst to the city guard.
The guard stumbled over a retort for a moment but then gave up, "Listen here, there ain't much more I can do in the way of checking you out. The city has gone to shit since that fucking rat banished our King... I'd tell you, if you were up to no good to take it else where. But with whats already been going on within the walls... you try to start something, it won't be the guard that gets to you first. They'll eat ya'll alive mate." Tegan smirked involuntarily at the last comment. Sounds more like a recruiting station to him.
"I just hope we can complete our task at hand..." Tegan gestured to his men and they started to make their way through the gate. He stopped and placed one hand on the guards shoulder and placed his lips near his ear. Tegan whispered, "Even the Chains of the Underverse cannot bind him... this may be a test." The guards eyes became wide and his mouth began to gape, he turned to look at Tegan who merely patted him on the shoulder and continued into the city. Yelling back to the guard, "Keep up the fine work!" His grin was ear to ear.
