The mercenaries demand ten Lune in advance before they even hear your question. (Gold Crowns may not be used in lieu of Lune in this instance.)
If you have this sum and wish to pay it, do so and turn to 19.
If you do not have ten Lune or do not wish to pay them this amount, you either try to enter the barracks unseen; turn to 68.
Or leave the barracks and walk back along Eastgate Lane; turn to 278.
