Namara took the same direction as before. She returned past the holding cell of the man who had previously asked her for help. The man stopped in her tracks.
"Are you going out now?" asked the man. Namara nodded.
"Looks like you won't be able to get out through the gate. There must be a lot of guards there."
Namara's brow furrowed. What the man said was true. The guards have arrived and the gate will not be empty without a guard.
"Do you know of another way out?" Namara asked.
"It's just an underground drain. Luckily it hasn't rained in a while. You might make it out of there. That's if you don't have other plans."
Namara felt a little helpless. Did she have to go out the drain? There should be another way for it, but what?
"Where's the drain door?" asked Namara.
The man pointed at the ground below. "You can find the iron cover before the gate."
