Finding the Target
I landed softly on the grass, my Slow Fall spell letting me fall safely from the height I was at. I was at the entrance of New Avalon, just far enough from the sentries that they didn't see me. I grinned and looked carefully at the patterns of the guards. Once I had them memorized I cast an Invisibility spell and started to sneak my way through the gates.
"Hey, what is that?"
I froze and looked around quickly, looking for the one who had said it. I found the man, pointing into the Plaguelands at a nearby ghoul. "Kill it!" The nearby guards charged at it, swords drawn. I took the opportunity to rush through the gates, just as the spell started to fade. I managed to get through and go up into the nearby hills.
"Wow, thank you ghoul. Saved my life from something worse than death." I walked up into the hills until I was almost under Archerus. I stopped and listened carefully. It took a minute but soon I heard the sound of activity nearby. I smiled and pulled up the hood on my cloak before walking towards the source.
It was an encampment. A war encampment for destroying New Avalon. I looked at it carefully, judging how it operated. I calmly put my hands behind my back and walked up to the encampment. None of the guards stopped me as I moved over to the ridge. A huge group of archers were firing shot after shot into the town. The one shouting orders came up to me.
"Can I help you?"
I shook my head. "Of course not, just wandering around."
He glared at me. "You better go see Valanar for your assignment." I nodded and backed up a bit as he started talking to himself. "Where is that girl? Caithlin should have been back from gathering my arrows 20 minutes ago." I snapped to look at him as he mentioned her name.
I grinned and walked back up to him, my head facing down. "Sir, would you tell me where Miss Caithlin is?" He didn't even turn around as he answered. "She's down in the town, follow the decay and you'll find her."
