You pull the hood of your cloak up to keep your face in shadow and stride boldly towards the two soldiers. ‘I am in need of some information,’ you say, disguising your Sommlending accent as best you can, ‘and I’m sure you brave fellows can help me.’

If you wish to bribe these soldiers with Lune, turn to 253.

If you wish to bribe them with Gold Crowns, turn to 319.

If you wish to leave the barracks and walk back along Eastwall Lane, turn to 278.

If you prefer to continue on your way east, turn to 284.
