"What are you planning to do?" The guide asked as we infiltrated the city while being camouflaged.
"We're only following the orders your king has issued us." I responded as I finished setting up the magic circle on the ground and activated it.
"What is this?" He asked me while pointing at the magic circle.
"It's the safest way to go about the mission; a machine can easily be destroyed or sabotaged, but a magic circle without the right amount of knowledge cannot be stopped; we're just setting up the preparations to exterminate the city as painlessly as possible." I tried to calm down the guide, but he didn't seem to be buying our justification.
