\" I did not expect anything else...\" Eloion says, and she looks into your eyes. \"we must go quick, and linger no longer.\" She stands up and walks to a cupboard in the other end of the room. \"this might be useful\" she says, and she gets out three black mantles. \"Put this on, we won\'t be recognised in this.\" she says, and she puts one of the mantles on. You follow her example. She walks to the front door,a nd peeks out quickly. \"follow me\" she says. You follow her outside, and as you run through the muddy street you have the feeling you\'re being watched. Eloion turns into an ally, and into another one. You keep running through the small allies and past closed shutters, you don\'t see no living being. Then Eloion stops in front of a door, which looks no different from others. She gives a roffle on it. from behind the door you hear a voice speaking in a strange language, though other than the one you heard the two men in Eloions house speaking. Eloion answers the voice, and the door opens. You all walk inside, and behind you you hear the door closing. The room is dimly lit, and on all sides you see working benches and cupboards. In another room adjacent to the one you\'re in you see barrels stacked up. This seems to be some sort of distribution centre... An old man walks past you and walks into the adjacent room. \"come Eloion,\" he says\" I have to speak to you. Eloion turns towards you \" please wait here, i have to talk with Gheron. I\'ll be back soon...
After some time the two return. Eoion speaks: \"We made up a plan to get us into the dark area, although we don\'t have a clue what to find there... Today a servant of the shadow riders will come and earn the taxes. The servant never says a word, and never checks the barrels in which the taxes are stored. We had this plan for a long time, but we didn\'t have enough brave men to risk something like this. Now we have to be quick though, else the stranger will be...\" she stops, and looks towards Gheron. Gheron nods. Eloion truns towards you. \"Gheron will stay here, but his son Hunian will come with us. We will hide in the barrels, and the servant will take them. what comes next... only laanx and Talad know what comes next... We have to hurry, the servant can be here in any moment now.\"
You haste towards the adjacent room. There you notice two large doors, and a little patio. Gheron walks towards some large barrels that are stacked up in the corner and opens them. \"Get in quick\", he says, and you climb into the barrel. Before he closes down the lid he wishes you luck. Outside the barrel you hear Eloion Gheron, and another man talking in the starnge language. Then you hear two more barrels opening and closing. Gheron warns you, and flips over the barrel. Then he slowly rolls it forward.
Kerrick: you notice a small hole in your barrel, through which you are able to look. You don\'t see much now, because it\'s turned towards some other barrels.
You wait for a long time, but finally you hear Gheron whispering: \"he\'s coming!, be quiet!\" Then you hear a terrifying voice speaking. You can\'t make out the words, but you can hear Gheron answering with a trembling voice. \"righ away master... it will... be done right away master\" You hear the large doors open and someone coming. The barrels are rolled again, and upto a slope.
Kroan: you stomach doesn\'t feel so good with all the turning...
After some time you hear a sissing voice, and it seems like you\'re on a moving cart... You\'re on your way! where will fate take you this time?
