Chapter 20: Trouble Brewing
General Summary
Samantha wore the guise of a Royal Sage in order to navigate the streets of Eglisain without arousing suspicion. From a guard stationed at the barricaded palace, Sam was able to discover that the guards were on the lookout for a woman with black hair.
Sam discovered that her recently enchanted rapier might serve as a suitable propulsion unit in aviation attempts, given the proper prerequisites were cast upon her in advance. This knowledge may come in handy at some point, were she to remember it long enough.
With some sneaking, Samantha would finally find her way into the Royal Academy of the Aetheric Arts, Eglisain's primary site of training aspiring Royal Sages in the art of destructive incantations. Glossing over knowledge she had already mastered, Sam managed to steal a book intended for students beginning their training as a Royal Sage, which may yield some particularly potent incantations.
Unsurprisingly, in a place of knowledge, one can always run into the Bookworm, Alistair Carona, studying matters of aetheric importance. Able to see through Sam's disguise, Alistair informed her of the current state of the city: An assassin from the south had been spotted within the vicinity of the city, and the guards are placed on high alert to apprehend anyone bearing their appearance.
Sam decided to continue to sneak around in her disguise, looking for the assassin herself, with not much to go on.
