When you arrive in the great hall, you can see the intendant was waiting for you. He looks angry.

"Tinyrith! You should have been here for a long time! When the queen summons you, you must come right away! The emergency was clear enough!"
"But the queen was having her bath..."
"She would have received you anyway! Now it's too late! Here is your mission order, a purse of gold and a magic dagger. Go to the stables. A saddled horse is waiting for you there. Then travel south until Duthurware. And for Sunie's sake, put some clothes on! "
"What? I don't understand..."
"No time to explain! Do as I say! Just remember that if you fail, Gobel-en-Methel will fall."

Confused, you take what the intendant gives you while he leads you to the palace entrance. When you reach the landing, you start to hear sounds of battle and people screaming.

"Oh no. They are behind our walls. Quick! Find some clothes and head to the stables...!"

An arrow sticks into his chest, stopping his speech. His eyes and his mouth open widely as if he was going to shout. But instead of a sound, blood drips out of his mouth as he collapses on the ground.

Horrified, you step back, unintentionally dodging another arrow. You panick and start running as fast as you can towards your home. A third arrow whistle near your ear, making you scream of terror. Around you, people are fighting. Now You know who are (or rather what are) your agressors: Orcs. On your right, a female elf gets kicked out of her house before getting **** by an ugly, massive, green creature.
