"Is this how you greet our guest?"
- Actually, greeting important guests from distant lands in this manner is extremely impolite and damages the reputation of everyone above you in the local hierarchy... Are you sure you don't want to change your tone? But alright, if you tell me what this hero of yours did to offend you, I'll pretend that we gave him the warmest welcome possible. Perhaps you have a good reason not to like foreigners. I'm also just a person, I understand.

- Listen to me, redhead, - the guard began, but he was interrupted by a hand on his back from the girl, who had silently crept up from behind.

- What's going on here, Torus?
The guard jumped as if he had been stung.
- How many times have I asked you not to sneak up on me like that!
- Come on, old man, don't grumble. It's your turn for patrol. Hello, guys! - the girl said to the mercenaries. - You're from the Hive, right?
Torus sighed heavily.
- Deal with them yourself. I'm going on patrol, it's better than standing at the gate.

Nikta stops abruptly and quietly recounts what she heard to her companions.

Author

"I wonder what's causing all this commotion. I suggest we pick up the pace and investigate, while remaining vigilant."

-- Alright, let's go. But I suggest we don't draw attention to ourselves until we understand what's going on. Nikta, warn us when the riders are close.

Joe was quickly served a decent third-rate beer.
- Come on, buddy!

—That's more like it. —the old pirate rejoiced.
Unfortunately, his companions soon began to gather for reconnaissance, so he had to postpone his rest until better times.
—Tsk, they're all so quick. —Joe grumbled discontentedly. —Hey, boss, pour me some more rum for the road, so I can get to work with more enthusiasm.

Author

- Hey! I ran into the forest, catch up!

Author

- Heard that, one-legged? Catch up! - Irony dripped from the words as he chuckled.

—I'll catch up to you... —the former adventurer snapped back, spitting disdainfully. —I've got my own things to worry about, you run after yourselves.

- There's no need to be rude, or we might get offended, - Zeikin cracked his neck. - Let's take it one step at a time, without rushing. Who ran away? Did he break the bridge?

pointing to the northwest

Is that between the river and the tower?

Author

- Yeah, and we'll get to the first intersection by the time he tears holes in his worn-out suit with his bones, - Fayblup criticized the plan. - And where will I keep my things?

- Well, he can store them in his stomach.

yes, he's hiding behind the tree and standing there

oh well. I don't really want to go to the bandits' camp by the campfire... or we can call the soldiers from the camp, it's nearby. but they're drinking and having sex there, so we might lose Joe.

the truth is, they drink and have sex there, so we might lose Joe

After the post about the guardian, I'm no longer worried about them; I initially thought they might only have a male population.

– Alright, let’s go. But I suggest we stay out of sight until we figure out what’s going on. Nik, give me a heads-up when the riders are close.

I assume there are no objections, so let’s move on...

- Hello! They are the best! I'm Lin, and this is Rad and Ara, nice to meet you.

- Don't blow up the city, heroes, - Torus said as he walked deeper into the streets.
- Yeah, good luck, and watch out for the rats! - the girl commented on his words. - Phew, we got rid of the grump. I'm Sveta, nice to meet you. What brought the Claws to our wonderful city?

- Well, let's go. But I suggest we don't make ourselves too visible until we understand what's going on. Nik, warn us when the riders are close.

Do you want to sneak up unnoticed, or what? If we go along the road, it won't be unnoticed.

- We came to help the people of these lands and, at the same time, to lift their spirits. I am a first-class singer, if you need to know, and my friend Radiэль is a musician like no other.

I wanted to go along the road while we're not visible, and then through the bushes when we get closer. The question is, whose horses are they? If they're soldiers' horses, it doesn't matter, but if they're bandits', it's better not to run into them...
Ples, Kosha?

"I'll catch up with you soon..." the former adventurer snapped dismissively at the last comments, spitting on the ground. "My ass is with me; you can fend for yourselves."

"There's no need to be rude, or we might get offended," Zeikin cracked his neck. "Let's go over this calmly, without rushing. Who ran away? Was it him who broke the bridge?"

The man wasn't particularly scared by the mercenaries' words, but he changed his tone when he realized they weren't who he thought they were.
"Oh, so you're not Lord's idlers?" he looked at their patches. "Something familiar. And a cyclops ran away. A big cyclops. He came down from the mountains, broke the bridge, and ran away. A fat bastard. So, who are you?"

"Ah, hmm, I didn't think the Claws had creative groups," the girl seemed a little disappointed; apparently, she was expecting some other kind of help.

- Yes, we have everything you could need. But in general, what's the situation in the city and its surroundings? We just arrived and don't know what's going on yet.

- Oh, please don't think I'm complaining, but... everything is very bad. People and livestock are disappearing, monsters from the darkness attack periodically, almost all of the city guards have gone to the monastery, and some have simply disappeared. That's why I had to become a guard, along with old man Vanya. Of the real guards, only Torus and the captain remain. The Lord sent his soldiers to defend the city, but they only killed one monster that almost reached the gates, and the rest of the time the soldiers... well, they're just goofing off.

- Typical low-paid employees, - Lin nodded understandingly, - all they can do is sit on their salary, and you can never expect them to actually work for it. It's sad. Fortunately, there are also warriors of worthy skill among the ranks of our creative team, so maybe we can help you with something other than music! After all, you can't travel through such dangerous lands without protection. So, I'd like to learn more about your problems.
