Zymth who are you approaching? There are kiosk workers, shopkeepers inside their shops, a man hauling a cart of firewood, and a gathering of Abundant Terrace bastions heavily armored and armed standing in a group outside a jeweler's shop.

Blitz the only things that stand out are the clockmaker's and the dressmaker's shop not far away as familiar places. You do not recognize anyone in the street.

"Good morning, sirs. We're looking for the Wintermarsh estate. My lord wishes to pay his respects to the family. Could you point us in the right direction? I left the letter with the address back at our hotel and his lordship is about to skin me alive for my blunder."
They stop chuckling as you approach Zmyth and although you are intending to be intimidating your large, black, dragonborn frame seems to already make them uneasy. When you speak however the group seems divided. One still looks wary of you while the other four seem to relax.
"Just follow this road north," one begins she's a short silver haired half-elf with dark skin giving you a toothy smile. "You can't miss the Golden Arce big guy," she adds then with a wink.
Xuix indicated an alley just to the left of the clockmaker's shop Kriz, you didn't notice it before but there's a carriage stopped there in the shadows.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Int check you asked for orientation: 13 My bad about the clockworker thought it was the man not the shop :) )
“You are right Xuix and pleas call me Krizarith or just Kriz “ she says with a smile “the noble is Blitz. What do you say, do we try to see to whom that carriage belongs?”
Zymth and Blitz part ways heading to the Golden Arce. It takes some time to reach yet another inner wall with guarded gates. The guards are half-orcs and one human in the colors of the Abundant Terrace. They look bored for lack if a better term but as you approach they straighten up.
"State your business," the human asks eyeing you both but Zmyth particularly hard as the half-orcs cross spears over the entrance, it's open but their wide bulky frames block it.

Zmyth stands to Blitz's side and about a foot behind. He stands as a servant, but he's also a bodyguard, so he is at the ready to defend his "master." He does not make eye contact with the guards. Looking over their heads, he's going to discretely examine what he can see of the Golden Arce's defenses.
"I am Lord Blitz Thunderbrand; visiting on behalf of House Thunderbrand in Kraghammer. I have been sent to visit the Wintermarshe Estate and offer my condolences for the recent passing of the lady of the house." Blitz says confidently.
Your assessment of the Golden Arce fails to be discreet, a ugly half-orc face comes into your line of sight scowling at you. However in the time you were able to look into the Golden Arce you can tell it's a wealthy area with high-end shops and beyond them winding up towards the Silver Reach mountains are large villa style houses perched on hills. There are bastions as well as private guards dots the streets in front of you. These various races of humanoids stand out to you as a solider.
The human sighs. "Well," he says as he raises an eyebrow with a smirk. "We got plenty of mourns but if you could provide us with a better reason to let you pass," he says rubbing his fingers together as if to ask for coin. "Mylord...," he adds.
“Lord Blitz Thunderbrand. And you better remember it or you’ll never taste a Dwarven Ale in this town again; you understand me.” Blitz says making sure his signet ring is also showing.
DDP: Huh? There are 3 guards you can see two half-orcs and the human. You can not see anymore entrances or exits save one 50 ft from the entrance with a steady flow of traffic out.

OOC: Kraghammer is indeed a vast dwarven city on Tal'dori in the larger world of Exandria but this is Issylra dude simple guards would not know you're anything special. Are you attempting to intimidate them or are you going to bribe them?

While Zmyth is asking for directions Blitz will take a look around for anything that stands out.

Let's start with the bastions. No intimidation.

I lightly rap Kriz on the shoulder and point to carriage with some fine horses."M'lady that seems a little out place if you ask me."

Zmyth thanks the bastions with a gracious bow and returns to Blitz. "Follow the road north," he repeats. "We're looking for the 'Golden Arce'."

Xuix nods to Kriz. "If you wish that does so sound fun."
Kriz and Xu how do you approach the carriage?

Zmyth does not react to the half-orc, but does stop rubbernecking.
How out in the open is this gate? How many guards are guarding it? Did Zmyth notice any other gates/ways to get in or out of the Golden Arce?

OOC: I don’t have money to bribe. More of an intimidation. Like you don’t want to mess with me and you better remember who I am.
