After much discussion, the group still hadn't managed to come to a decisive conclusion, but at least they had narrowed down their options to two possible choices - go in guns blazing, or allow themselves to be arrested and then break out of the dungeons. In either case, disguises weren't needed, so they could being their journey to Castle Bondage and finalize their plan on the way.<br/><br/>With their horses, the heroines reached Castle Bondage soon enough. The castle was rumoured to once have been the base of a mighty sorceress, who was defeated by a brave band of adventurers in the long forgotten days before unification of the kingdom. Abandoned for many years, the castle had been recently restored, new stonework repairing the once-crumbling walls so that they stood high once more, spires and turrets reaching up into the sky. A wide moat surrounded the castle, with a drawbridge being the only way in or out. Even the sky turned dark and cloudy, flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder adding a foreboding atmosphere,<br/><br/>The horses refused to go any further and the group was forced to dismount and cross the lowered drawbridge on foot. Not a single soul could be seen stirring within Castle Bondage, not even a sentry. Not until they were halfway across the bridge did a magical barrier spring up on the shore behind them, blocking any retreat, while ahead of them the gates opened. A sergeant leading five other guardswomen came out to greet the heroines. They bore the princess's heraldry on their armour.<br/><br/>"Halt!" the sergeant commanded. "You are under arrest for trespassing! Drop your weapons and surrender immediately!"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Sergeant</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag94/Autocad-E/8ab832f2dcc7220de8bf1252a55268fa-1_zps75f83015.jpg)</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Guard</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag94/Autocad-E/68f9c1dfece9df722d4ab484589de0e8-1_zps03020081.jpg)</div></div>
