Adellah fumbled through the materials. "Are you sure this stuff is safe to use? I mean, I am a Berserker so you can understand why I'm nervous, knowing as little about magic and magical items as I do."

"I don't need those to disguise myself," Adin commented as he took out some food he had brought along and began to eat. "When we get to the capital, I may be able to get us into the castle. As for our disguise, we cannot travel as any sort of warriors. Roland--or whoever is behind this--knows we are not stupid, as he knows the assasins would not be enough to kill us. The roads will be watched for any sort of mercenary band, because that is the most likely disguise for us to pick. I suggest a disguise of a different sort, one completely unassociated with knights. Perhaps circus performers or some such?" Allowing himself a smile, he added, "We certainly look the part."

"Hmm. I would make a really good dancer," Adellah was warming up to Adin's idea, then froze.

Adellah suddenly stood up. "I never went to Incrad since a year ago, but shouldn't there be some sort of large festival going on there? I would find it silly if there wasn't. Incrad would be a crumbling ruin now if we didn't step in a year before. The knighthood would be pretty busy dealing with the partying citizens, and it would likely continue well into the night. Our 'circus troupe' would easily fit in. Then when most of the citizenry is home or passed out in the street, drunk off their asses, we can move on with our operation. We'll bypass whatever major defenses the royal city has with little to no trouble at all, and Roland wouldn't be difficult at all to get to then."

Adellah grinned and picked up a potion. "It's our best chance, though probably not our only one."

Kel simply laughed. "Yeah, that's a great idea, Adel! We could try it!" He then turned to the other Knights. "So how's things in your Providences?"

Laughing along at the plan Suiton answered Kel "We're still as lazy as ever, the fishing goes so well that every time we cast a net it comes up full in seconds, it makes relaxing so much easier when you don't have to worry about having something to eat"

"Good good this sounds excellent." he smiled down and remembered the question brought to him earlier."No worries, all the potions were made by me and I never fail." he smiled and added if only to scare them and, "Well almost never..." he looked at their faces evily began laughing manicly and then added "Kidding, no I'm sure thier safe I always test ALL my potions before putting them in my pockets." He had done so since putting one in he had not tested that had been unstable and exploded in his pocket starting a chain reaction narrowly killing him.

A huge smile spread across Damion's face as he listened to the others talk. "I for one would love to watch Adellah dance." then he grows serious again "But I must ask, why all the secrecy? I realize that we may be walking into a trap but are we not entitled to a feast that is in our honor? I say we go as ourselves under the excuse that we're there for the festival, and this will also keep the king from doing anything drastic, after all, we are the saviors of their land. The people must feel some sort of gratitude and loyalty right?"
He smiles again, " But if we insist on the circus troupe bit, I'm a mighty fine juggler."

"My province has thrived, the order of the Dark One has grown to great strength. Though we haven't quite caught up to the church of our priestly friend," He shakes his fist at his friend in mock anger "but we'll have caught up soon."

"Heh. My guys are doing great. They even invented something called... uh... I think it's called a 'dolk'. It lets you see how far the sun and the moon have progressed through the skies. Too bad they're too big..."

"Not much happens in a year at my province," Adellah sighs. "People just take care of their own and everything is peaceful. I must say that I worry more for my people than I do for myself regarding his Majesty's betrayal. My people are strong, but are no match for armored knights on horseback with lances. Their defeat would come even easier when assisted by archers and mages. Whatever we do to solve this problem, I'd like to help solve it fast."

"Concerening the circus I am pretty good at the magician thing all the slight of hand tricks I have." hesaid making a small vial disappear in his hand. "Concerning my province my people have been becoming far more advanced in chemistry as well as a new art engineering." he said almost but not yet drinking one of the vials he had offered as drinks. "Most of my fellow citizens have shunned them for thier use of certain plants as fuel for thier machines but I belive they could do pretty well with the right alchemaic knowledge." he smiled, "Also the druids are attempting peace with the dragons south of us,"he finally drank and said, "it is truly good back home." and he began to laugh. He put down the vial and continued laughing under his breath.
