I Approach The Guards

As I walk towards the guards, they look at me. They quickly put their hands on their weapons but one of them says something that puts them a little more at ease. I put my hands up nonetheless in a non-threatening matters and address them calmly.

"Put your weapons back. I'm not here for trouble. I was actually wondering if you needed any help."

One of the guards laugh a little. "You can help us by-"

The second guards look at him sternly. "Hey, this is one of the few good ones. Show some respect." He then turns to me. "Well, I can't say this town doesn't have it's share of trouble but I'm not sure how you are going to be of any help, lass. The lieutenant got us working a double shift."

Another guard quickly adds, "That doesn't mean we want him dead, though."

"Are you sure I can't help in any way? I could really use the coin and maybe you could use the extra hands." You can feel the guards are tired while I eye them. While not particularly fancy or anything, the guards of Skullport are well trained and still sexy in their own way. Their bodies are toned and tanned from the long shifts in the sun. And I can feel the guardsman don't have much in the form of entertainment as of late. I ponder the thought in your mind and grin a little.

The guards consult each other while I examine them and the courteous one speaks, "Well, I'd love to help but we have orders not to relay any information to outsiders anymore. "

I nod understanding their orders and take a moment to analyze my options.
