Legend
Reginald might be in charge, but that doesn't necessarily mean he knows what he's doing. You know a shorter route to this destination and you're going to take it.
Sure enough you get you reach the area a lot quicker and see a nervous looking figure swiveling his head around. When he sees you he draws a sword.
"Hey! Step back! Who are you?"
"Reginald sent me. You must be Wallace."
"Maybe I dunno, I've never seen you before "
"Look, we don't have time for all this, we have to go get to the meeting with those Syndicate members."
Wallace looks a bit hesitant at first, but decides you're really sent by Reginald, and you both make your way to the meeting with the Syndicate. Wallace begins talking with you on the way.
"It's a good thing you got there when you did, I think the thieves were getting suspicious, I think they might've even been following me. I dunno why Reginald told me to wait there! It would've just been easier for me to just go straight to the Syndicate meeting instead fooling around waiting for you."
"I dunno why Reginald gave me this map that sketched out a long path to you. It would've taken me twice as long had I followed it."
Wallace shakes his head.
"Probably just making things harder for the both of us. You know making us thrive under pressure and all that."
"Yeah, but this is just stupid. You have important information that's supposed to be helping our cause, and Reginald has set up this idiotic test that could ruin this big plan he keeps harping on about."
"Heh heh! You're definitely one of us, if you're complaining about Reginald. Let me tell you something, Reginald might be serving the Dark One, but he's ultimately serving himself."
"Well we're all doing that aren't we?"
"True, but his leadership skills leave something to be desired. I think he's got his mind more on the Baron's son rather than anything else! As you mentioned he's putting the overall goal at risk for his own reasons. There's a time to test and then there's a time to just be straight forward to get the damn job done!"
You're about to agree, when you and Wallace are attacked by a couple of thieves.
