Octavius did not beat around the bush nor stay silent for too long when Marius asked about the reports of Guard positions in Chalcivitas. He immediately started explaining Rozalia's information: "We received word that Alexander is held on house arrest in the palace, on the third floor. It seems the guards blurted this out after a couple of ales, according to our scout. She has managed to mark the guard positions on the walls, and discovered that the sewer tunnel is not very actively guarded. Only four guards, switching between day and night shifts. I was also told that they are not replaced between these shifts at all, not even for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This means they are tired, and that we have the advantage within our grasp! If we can infiltrate the city via the sewer tunnel, it may very well be our only hope of reclaiming Chalcivitas and freeing Alexander and the rest of our people."
Giving the scroll where the guard positions have been marked to Marius, he spoke: "These are the guard positions. We need to devise a method of attack immediately, so that we can give the men instructions."
