Subject: An early morning trip, cont.

The three wander through the streets of the underground city, following the landmarks Surin had given them. It takes them about half an hour to find the gate complex that Surin had described. Ally points to a spot about 100 feet away from the guards but shielded from their view "You two stay here for a bit. I am going to take a look around. I should be ok as long as I am not too obvious." Ragnar starts to speak but the mage is off before he realizes. Ran gives Ragnar a punch in the arm "Don't worry about him, he's probably the smartest person I know and you've seen that he can handle himself. I'm not sure who is tougher, him or Mund." Ragnar nods agreement but still has a worried look on his face.

Sooner then they would have expected Ally comes hustling back, an excited look on his face "Come on you two, now's the time. I'd almost say that the gods were smiling on us." "What are you talking about ?"Ragnar asks. "Did someone see you? Are you being followed?" The mage is almost breathless "No, no, nothing like that. Just a stroke of good luck, I think. When I got to the other side of the road, I saw a group of dwarves pushing what looked to be small carts or tables ahead of them. I smelled eggs and bacon and other food. I think they are bringing the Ambassadors their breakfast. That means there will be noise and the gates will be up. Now be quite and let me cast this spell. Remember, you can still be heard."

Ragnar and Ran nod while Ally starts his chanting. As he chants he pulls out what looks to be an eyelash encased in some type of material. He touches the himself and the other two as he chants. The words build to a small crescendo and there is a small flash. The others look at him "Did it work?" Ranthir asks. "Yes" is the short reply "and we had better get moving if we want to get through the gate. Remember, stay with in 10 feet of me or the spell will no longer affect you." The three hustle out from where they were and move purposefully towards the gates.

OOC: I will write more in a few minutes.
