shylarahAfter leaving Tahra on her own Ian went to find Darius again. They were both out standing on a makeshift platform that allowed them to peak over the wall without being noticed, and they could see an rather unwelcome sight. Ian spoke first "How could the guard have found us out already, it's only been a few hours?"
"Maybe if those friends of your weren't having a godsdamned party right outside the house. Did they even realize how close this place was to the castle" Darius had been grumbling ever since they arrived about how they were going to ruin the safehouse, seems he was right as just up the street aways was a contingent of the Royal Guard heading right down toward their little haven. "Maybe they're just passing by, a show of force after the escape?" That notion was quickly struck down when a bolt flew past their heads and they both ducked below the wall. "you'd best get to the tunnel. I've got to go burn the stores" with that they both ran in different directions.
Ian was heading to warn the other's and see if any are even capable of getting away at this point, along the way nearly stumbling over a passed out Jaques "Guy, we need to-oh for the love of..." He quickly threw the small boy over his shoulder and looked to the princess "Tahra, we need to move, we might've overestimated how safe this place was for a group this big" as if on queue the guard outside began banging on the gate that lead into the courtyard "We need to leave now, there's another way out of here around back" He motioned for her and the knight with her to follow before taking off around the house.
At the same time the gate finally gave in and the soldiers of the Royal Guard began to come through, easily spotting the group of drunkards and moving to try and capture them. Their numbers were too much to fend off, leaving only one option for anyone that wasn't too drunk to stand.
