Kareth
Tournament Grounds
Kareth had been in enough bad situations to know when things were really going belly up, and this was one of them. From what he could gather from the panicking citizens, someone had invaded the city, and most of them were saying it was from the east. His belongings were still in the Tavern, and he hesitated for a moment trying to decide to get his belongings or simply run for the north shore and get on a boat, somehow. He decided that running into soldiers wasn't worth his belongings, and that if he really needed to survive afterwards, he was well equipped to take what he needed by force. He he had a dim view of mercenaries who turned to banditry, but fully understood their plight: warriors will do anything to survive.
As he followed the crowds north, he felt a strange sensation, like he was being watched. He didn't know where he got that feeling, seeing as he was surrounded by people, but it made him uneasy. Kareth tightened his grip on his spear as he pushed onwards towards the docks.
