This was a city where its strongest individuals were in the Sage Plane. Had Grey been one of the famous geniuses from the Faction, they would've at least known of him, but they knew nothing about him. And from the way Grey was in a haste, they felt he probably stole the badge, and the original owner was chasing after him.
Grey naturally wasn't bothered with them, if they could deal with the necromancer chasing him, he wouldn't be bothered, but if they can't, he would use the teleportation array while they were fighting.
The men stood guard and watched as the necromancer got closer. When they sensed the eerie aura he was radiating, they knew he was trouble.
They turned to Grey and he shrugged as if telling them, 'I told you before'.
"Who's he?" The oldest man in the group asked Grey.
"A necromancer who wants to kill me. See why I'm in a hurry now?" Grey said plainly before asking, "Can I go now? If I leave, he will leave this place alone."
