The guards escorted the men to the building they would be staying in. The outside of the building looked very old and like it had been through some wars.
The building was neat, tidy, polished. It was stunning and the lighting was low, but made the room stand out. One of the servants introduced herself. She was an elf and looked early 20's. "I am Elinanor and I'm here to serve you for any needs." Cooper grinned and said "Oh, well in that case..."Pikeriton punched him in the gut and cooper fell down. "Ignore him, show us to our rooms."
Afterwards, when they changed out of their gear into normal clothes and they started to explore the town, people were around each corner, music was playing throughout the town, people were enjoying themselves. Elinanor was with the soldiers. Grazzeli asked "What is good to do here?" "Well..." she said, "there are different festivals, the people here are typically nice and as long as you don't go outside the zone, you should be fine".

Cooper asked, "What do you mean 'you should be fine'?" Elinanor said "we're in the middle-class section, and there is a lower class section where we keep the "'undesirables'."
Elinanor went back to the quarters and Pikeriton asked "Do you all want to check the lower district? We're soldiers, so what can they do? We're trained in arm to arm combat and firearms".
So the men walked down into the lower district and saw guards at the gate. The guards knew that the soldiers were off-duty, so they said "Be careful down there, there has been suspicious activity." Grazelli said "will do", and they headed off.
As they were walking down a street in the lower district, a man approached them. He was in his mid-'20s, black hair, purple eyes and he said his name was Antonio Aloco and asked the men to help him.
Cooper said, "Why would we help you?" Antonio replied with "The people here call me a hero because of the protests I've done and helped them with." The soldiers immediately thought of him as a Robin Hood type character and agreed to help him.
Aloco said, "We're starting a revolution."
