Callan kept his gob shut, for the sake of everybody else. Staying at the back of the group, seeing as he had quite a few weapons on show.
Genii looked at the others as if expecting them to know what to do.
Tobias tucked his wings round his shoulders to look like a rather fluffy cape and to hide his sword.

"State your business." One of the guards speaks up to the approaching group.
“My good man…” Veral descended the ramp with his passengers, including 1048, in tow, “…we’re travelers, looking for a safe place to stay, with injured in our party.”
(i'm not gonna be super active today. not really feeling it at the moment. sorry.)
((Hope you feel better soon @aqua03 ))
@DualDragons @Enigma_the_Slimy_Boi @aqua03 (feel better!)
Mago hunched over and clung to Eman, trying to look weary and tired.
(@Legendofgenii @alliascompany Thanks guys. I'll keep you posted.)
Callan rolled his eyes hearing Veral’s sugar-coated showmanship. It might come in handy on this occasion he supposed.
((Literally my only character capable of talking their way out of a situation.
((Take care of yourself

The guard was eyeing the creature behind Veral (1048), Obelisk, Vitaly and so on. Ann was about to speak up to vouch for the group but the guard wouldn't let up."How do I know you are not cultists out for terror inside the city?" He asks.
“How do I know you’re not a moron in a guard’s uniform?” Veral spits back on the spot, “I’d like to trade words with your captain, profiling my companions like that.”
Upon Veral's answer, the guards present either raise their crossbows, their weapons and some even prepare magic. Additional guards on the wall keep the group in their sight and on 'gunpoint'."The captain is none of your business, sleazebag. Now let me ask again. Prove that you are not terrorists."
Ann was stressing out.
“Prove I’m not a terrorist? What do you want from me, an oath?” Veral demands, “Where’s your evidence I am a terrorist?”
Tali stepped away from Veral sticking by Genii and simply strummed a few notes on his harp.
@DualDragons @Enigma_the_Slimy_Boi @DelythThomasArt "This isn't good," said Eman.
"Sir, please. We have children with us who haven't eaten in days. And we just had to evade a horrifying beast. We're just a group of refugees..." said Mago. She noticed Tali playing. "Who sometimes performs acts of entertainment?"
The guard nods to 1048 behind Veral. And also at Obelisk and Vitaly."For all I know those creatures are summoned by you to wreak havoc once you are inside." He explains to Veral. "It is also protocol to identify newcomers ever since the Beast incident, incase they are affiliated with it." The guard said, hoping to shed a bit of light on why they are so hesitant on letting strangers in, especially with the more non human individuals.
@alliascompany"That sounds like you have encountered the Beast." The guard responds to Mago.
“Those ‘creatures’ just so happen to be my good friends!” Veral scoffed, offended, “If I could summon monsters, why would I not do it on the inside of the city, or conceal them until I gained entry, or even just fly my ship over your walls and drop them inside?! We’ve just made our way through deadly mountains, past a dangerous beast, to be treated like criminals for what, your prejudices?!”
((Lol! Veral gets arrested again.))
Callan sighed as weapons were drawn.
Bellah narrowed her eyes at the guards, but didn’t do anything hasty.
Genii chewed his fingers nervously.
((Sorry for short post. Eating rn. ))
Mago nodded frantically."Yes! It was awful! It came out of nowhere, trying to devour us all!" She said. "Affiliated? As in that thing is smart enough to create alliances or that someone purposely brought it here?"
