Shortly before the group reached the merchant's house the priestess sent part of the guards to the back, to foil a possible escape attempt by the merchant. One guard then knocked on the door, loudly and with force, though the only reaction callie could make out was some movement in the upper floor - someone peering down. "Open, in the name of Sharess." Rebecca called out - a shout that would have opened many a house in any town, and evne with the large guard force it attracted the attention of the neighbours and passer-bys. Still, no door opened.
