The two parties headed out of the palace, on their way to the city portal square. A Royal Guard escort followed them all the way there, causing a lot of attention to gather on them.
Astaroth didn't mind all that much, but some players in the two following groups were much more nervous at the thought of hundreds of people watching them go down the street.
It didn't take long for them to reach the portal square, since most residents and adventurers parted ways for them as they walked. A group of twenty-four people walking together was already impressive in itself.
The fact that both monarchs were with them only made this even more memorable.
Once there, the portal was already primed and ready to go, thanks to Commander Levine's forewarning. All they had to do now was step through.
Astaroth gave one last look at the surrounding people, and said, "Alright! Let's go face the music!"
