As the wagon approached the gates a guard atop the tower called, "Who goes?"
"Tanis the merchant, I have the mead for the festival!" came the reply.
The gate began to shudder as the steel grate was raised. As the wagon rolled through the guard called "Shut the gate, you there hold!" as he noticed a small group of mounted men approach the city walls. The men halted as the gates began to close and the guard looked visibly calmer. "Who goes?" he called.
A large man dressed in Polished silver greaves and a silver chainmail shirt rode forward. "I am Argentis of The Silver Legion, and I have come to claim your city in the name of Zeus. Open your gates and surrender the city at once!"
The Guard scoffed and replied, " At once my lord..." and turned to signal his men. Immediately 6 archers appeared at the city wall and trained their arrows on the men below.
"You will drop your arms and surrender to the Night Watch! We will see how funny..."
With a thud the Guard hit the ground and the Archers turned to see the Wagon driver standing over the Guard and 15 Slingers and hoplites poised to attack. Rounding up the hostages The Silver Legion took possession of the City Gate and gained access to the city. Stripping the defenders of their uniforms and hiding them in the armory bound and gagged, Argentis posted his own men at the gate and entered the city unopposed...
