"War for the Throne" Chapter2 origin ver.(5)

"Thane was spotted in Duskflight Canopy,wounded and fleeing from the King's Guard.As per your instructions,he was left alone.That's all I have to report."
"Thank you friend."Mercurio shook the ranger's hand,"You've been a great help."
The ranger nodded and turned to leave.He went a few steps,then glanced back,"You may be interested to know,Thane managed to contact the rangers at Duncastle.Apparently he sent a message to some allies in Sprucevale.That's all I know."
Skeeve scratched at his ear,"Sprucevale?What is Thane up to?"
"Who knows?"Mercurio glanced past Skeeve,in the direction of the town gates,"For now,we may have bigger issues."
Skeeve turned to follow the rat's gaze.A column of King's Guards had appeared on the road.As they filed into the town their leader rode out into the tent city."The settlement of Southbank is in lockdown by order of the King.We're looking for accomplices of the traitor Thane."
"Great."Mercurio kicked at the ground,"They locked down the settlement and we're stuck out here.It'll be bad if we draw the Guard's attention."
