In a building in the new outer district of Ironhold, several people had gathered. To anyone looking at them, it would seem that they came to a friend's house to drink, as they had brought barrels of ale, but that was simply to hide what was truly going on.
The second they entered the building, the smile on their faces were wiped clean as they put down the barrels of ale they had brought.
"Report." A woman of average height and build with short black hair was the first to speak. Her voice carried no warmth, only control.
"It seems that no one knows the exact recipe of the gunpowder, and if we ask too much about it, people might get suspicious." One of the people answered.
"The only people who seem to know the recipe are Lucen Thornehart and Robert Duskwell."
"Then what about those things placed on the battlements? Did any of you get any information about that?"
"No one wanted to talk too much about that, but it's supposed to be an improvement to the balistae."
