| 372 Straight through town and out of the south gate seems the best option. The ever-growing crowds should provide you with the cover you need to get away, there is a good chance that you can make the gates without coming to any further attention of the town's guardsmen. Pushing your way through the struggling masses you keep your head down and try to look the part of a stooped cripple, leading your master's horse to some important destination. With your travel cloak's cowl pulled low over your head you should be able to get through Miller's Crossing within the half hour. For a time your deception works, the turmoil of the afternoon markets and the stream of people and wagons entering from the south gate all work in your favour. Large wagons and open carts are surrounded on all sides by people, both buyers and sellers, eagerly making their way to the town square for the afternoon sales. Amongst this skirmish of humanity your bent, seemingly crippled form goes unnoticed and unchallenged. With luck on your side you are able to make your way out of the town square, and succeed in getting some distance along the south road before you are hailed by a single guardsmen who stands squarely in the middle of the thoroughfare.
| Will you stop and see what the guard wants? If so turn to section 410. If you would rather bluff your way past the guard turn to section 401.
