In truth Aerious had been in Ilia before, but that was a very, very long time ago. And he had never been in Arphen, so he was quite excited to see it coming closer.
"I mean, maybe we will catch them drinking in a bar? We should be due for a little good luck right about now."

"That would be nice. But we still have to find a way to get the high counselor killed without having a hundred lances going through our bodies."
The trip was now over, and upon seeing Matis, the guards let the trio enter the capital. Apparently, he had made himself quite a name since his last coming. One of the guards seemed rather confused, though, and started running towards the castle.
Plans didn't go as expected, eh?
"Be careful" he whispered to his comrades as he entered the city.

"Careful's my middle name!" crowed Matthias. Several of the guards eyed him, apparently thinking he was crazy. Matthias ignored them. "So, do we actually have a plan or what?" He was keyed up and ready to take on whoever and whatever. Must still be going on adrenaline...

Aeious walked towards the back of the group keeping quiet. He wasn't sure how to act in situations like this, so he just watched and let Matis and Matthias handle it.

"Hmmm, nope. No plan yet" Matis said, after the guards had been left behind.
"Any ideas?" They were closing in on the Pegasi Training Grounds, and the council was not far from those. They needed a good plan. And fast.

"Ask them if they've seen Barigan, the legendary paladin?" asked Matthias, grinning. "Seriously though, I liked the idea of you reportin' what happened ta the mercs." He nodded to the trainees, remembering Lyndsey, and wondering what she was doing now.

"Fine, I guess"
As soon as Matis' opened the door to the building, two lances made their way to his face, being barely stopped by one of his own lances.
"Why are we being attacked?!" he demanded, pushing both guards back with the Steel Lance.
"The mercenaries should have killed you once you were off the limits of Ilia! DIE!"
"So much for trying to be pacific", he said, rolling to the side to avoid the attack, which barely missed Aerious and Matthias as well.
OoC: Things don't always go as planned.

OOC: Well crap.
IC: Aerious took a step back and raised his sword as the lancer approached him. It was very obvious that he was unskilled with the blade, as he prepared to block the incoming lance. His skill showed though as the lance flew past his poor swordplay and struck him in the shoulder, glancing off with a scrape.
Damnit! How long can I keep this up?! At this rate....
How long could he keep it secret? His steel skin might have already given it away...

"Damn!" Matthias shouted, he barely parried a lance thrust, and jumped back out of the way. He knew swords would fail miserably against lances. The Adonai Bow was quickly in his hands and he shot at the closest lance wielder, who flew back from the force of the arrow. "At least they ain't the strongest in the world..." Matthias commented, smirking.

Matis dodged a couple of thrusts, almost getting an arm skewered by one of them. Moving quickly, he grabbed one of the Steel Lances he had hanging from his back and impaled the second guard.
"More must be on the way. Let's move", he said, and started running through the corridors, guessing paths here and there, as he had never been inside the building.

"Heh, so much for an easy time, eh?" asked Matthias, winking at Aerious. He followed Matis, but kept enough distance for his bow to still be usable. Last thing he wanted was to get into a swordfight with another lance user. He'd probably end up dead.

"Well that could have gone better!" Aerious called ahead. "I hadn't planned on fighting our way in!" At this rate they would never be able to make it. Sure this Matis fellow showed some promise, but the two of them versus everyone in here? Either they would need reinforcements or he might be forced to abandon his disguise...
But that was something he would decide on later. He ran ahead to keep up with Matthias and Matis.

They continued down the corridors, trying to make their way to the main room. Being called the main room, it shouldn't be that hard to find. The place was made as a defense base, though, which explained why the place seemed like a maze.
"Shhh, over here!" he whispered, hiding behind a nearby wall. "Guards...corridor..." he said, trying to make as little noise as possible.
"I wonder why the high counselor wants that group killed. I heard Laurette was captured and jailed in the basement too."
"I don't mind why. As long as I get paid, I'll do anything"
"We've got no choice..." he said, and as the guards passed by, he thrust his lance through one of the guards, and then repeated the process on his shocked friend.
"We have to free that Laurette. If she's important enough to get jailed, she may be able to help us. Now, to find a way to the basement."

"How about we dress up in their uniforms and sneak down ta the basement? It should work," Matthias pointed out. He bent over and yanked the guard's helmet off. He jammed it over his head. "See, it'll work perfectly!"

"I think they will be looking for intruders now that we have caused this commotion Matthias. We'd best just stick to moving quickly and quietly." He said, gesturing to the large iron armor.
