You are nearing the end of the quay when you are seen by a watchful guardsman who orders you to stop where you are. You ignore his order and continue running, making good your escape from the quayside by means of an alleyway. As you rush towards the end of this narrow passage, the pathway is suddenly blocked by three city guardsmen. Startled by the unexpected sight of a Northlander running straight at them, they draw their swords and get ready to cut you down.
