I'm tempted to to yell up at the strange, creature monster, thing that came down, because I know it saw me, but you know what?

Nope, didn't care. Atleast it didn't try to eat me I guess. Besides-- there was an opportunity.

Turning back around to see, only two guards remained, both distracted by some drunk guy. Aha. Well, I could attempt to sneak by the two, or run past, or hmm... I could let the chickens out and see if that distracts them.

I look at the chicken pen with some interest, noting how the beady eyed bird were already looking at me hungrily. I mime throwing some corn, and to my pleasure, all of their heads swiveled around quickly to see where it landed, becoming immediately disinterested again when they notice nothing.

Alright, so I can go... Throw some dirt at the guards? Yeah sure. I can throw some dirt at them and hope the chickens mob them and distract them enough that I can't get caught. This is a really bad idea--

One dirt throw later and a few chickens jump the pen, clucking furiously in the direction of the guards and searching for their corn. A few flaps of wings and squabbling of the birds manage to scare the two guards off their post, trying to avoid the ire of one particularly pissed off chicken as they fumble frantically for their weapons.

The guards to the city gate are currently occupied, leaving it momentarily unguarded.

I take my opportunity, running towards the gates before wincing as my side throbs hard in complaint, and I'm already out of breath. Nope! No running, no running, no running-- being dead sucked.

Slowass. I internally bullied myself.

Instead I fast walk and subtly as I can, rubbing my dirty hands on my pants-- and internally thanking my new chicken "friends" for their service. Damn I almost felt bad for not actually feeding them.

I decide to wander around the marketplace more, trying to ignore the people around me and assess the area. Pretty quickly, a particular shop with random cloaks and sheets of cloth up cactches my eye. Theres a heavy looking dark brown cloth hanging by the front, rocking back and forth gently in the afternoon breeze.

At this point, I really needed a cloak of some sort. I could probably find a white sheet hung up to dry in one of the ally's, and steal that... but I didnt want to wander around too much and run into more guards. Then again... the shopkeeper likely wouldn't be much more friendly? Ugh so many options-- I could.. try and steal a cloak from there aswell.. but-- no it was too big an item to steal, plus stupid, it would be even riskier than a white sheet. Oh wait did I have any coins--

I pat my jacket pockets before just taking it off and shaking it to see if anything jingled. Duh, I could just try and pay for it-- you know, like a normal person. I rolled my eyes at myself. Okay time to focus--


clink clank!

Aw yeah alright, how'd you forget that change you fished out of some towns fountain one night? Oh yeah, well, cull yourself for stealing someones wish money-- you got mugged okay???

You put your coat back on, unfolding the collar up so it disguises your neck, and head across the square towards the clothing shop as quickly as you can.
