As you try to pass, you are immediately surrounded by about thirty armed men wearing tabards in the colors of the Royal Army of Nonearby. They point their weapons in your direction.
The soldiers' captain bursts out laughing and points to the noble representative of Faraway who is accompanying you:
“Ha! Ha! Ha! I never thought I'd have such an opportunity. Such a precious hostage falling right into my hands? Don't be so shocked to see us here! You vermin of Faraway have allowed traitors to freely establish themselves in your territory for far too long, perpetrating attacks on our lands! We have therefore claimed the Earldom of Thotherside to put an end to this threat once and for all. With you in our hands, your king will have to accept these changes! Capture them! Kill those who are useless.”
You prepare to fight tooth and nail against the enemy garrison.
The 30 soldiers attack in groups of 6, and each of their dead are immediately replaced. If no reinforcements are available, their captain also joins the fray.
