The rest of the journey having been pleasant, Cat was still pleased to see the town ahead of her.  It would be nice to get off the horse for a bit for one thing, and she couldn’t help the excitement that rose as she thought of her mission.  Soon, she would be killing Drow and that was something to look forward to.<br/><br/>She gave her best look-at-me-I’m-so-charming smile to the guard, hoping he fell for it and didn’t ask anything more than the simple tale she told him.  “I’m here to visit the smiths.  I would like to commission a new sword and possibly another blade or two, depending on what is available.  The reputation of your crafts is well known.  I also need the recommendation of a good inn, not too expensive, but safe for a woman alone.”  Let them think her harmless and a bit helpless.  It was a tactic that worked many times over for her and no doubt many another woman throughout the ages.<br/>
