An Important Pursuit

Hilmar sat within the confines of the tavern as the city's garrisons were rushing into defensive mode. The armies of Austria were gathering outside the city, and with it, the atmosphere had become tense. To calm his growing nerved, the Count sat with an ale in one hand while maintaining a lookout for his contact.

As part of their cat and mouse tactics, Hilmar had frequently visited this tavern over the past few months to relay information to the Austrian Spy about anything important, which he discovered by being an advisor to the Duke. The symbol to initiate contact was a simple act of placing a flowerpot on the tavern's windowsill, which he had done the moment he entered the establishment.
