The Mercenary Sergeant stops in the mouth of the service lane, one gauntlet raised for silence. The City Magistrate steps beside him, warrant unrolled, its seal catching the gray light.
The City Magistrate
Goblan, surrender at once. You are accused of breach of peace and resisting lawful order.
The Sergeant’s grin sharpens as he watches the alley beyond the Magistrate, as if measuring how far Goblan can still run.
The Mercenary Sergeant
Drop the blades. Save us both the trouble.
Goblan keeps low in the lane’s shadow, the wet stones and piled crates offering only a sliver of cover. The warrant is clearly meant to pin him in place, not to hear his side.
Goblan
The warrant is fresh. They came prepared.
The Magistrate lifts the paper higher, and the Sergeant shifts one step to cut off the lane’s exit, waiting for Goblan to fold.
