Battle
"The open battle would take it long. The soldiers must be in numbers." Team head thought what better option they could go with.
Jake could not solve his dilemma. The quest of the task panel was questionable. It warned about the mayor and suggested to not battle then how on earth he could steal the keys?
If he stay away from the mayor to avoid the spell then killing him and stealing the key was impossible.
There were two choices. First they should face him and the soldiers. Who knows what kind of spell he was able to cast. In case they battle with soldiers the mayor would employ the spell.
Team players would be forced to go through the spell. Jake stopped wild horses of his thoughts at this point.
Jake could see that team head was preparing to welcome the mayor and battle. He was at short terms to plan anything. But then he thought carefully.
