Into the Gray

The guard checks our paperwork and tells us to be safe out there, and sends us on our way. #encounters/guards

Arachne warns the guards about the owlbears. They seem suspicious but believe us better than the caravan did. I hand them each claws as well, which they think is super weird. They want details about how many, where on the path, etc. Arachne and I make a statement and sign it. #relationships #encounters/guards

At the gate is a guard and a mechanism, presumably to open the gate from the booth. The wall is large, smooth, and difficult to climb. There are two more people sitting down in the back near the booth. They ask our business as we approach. I declare that we are problem solvers and give my name to pass on to Orna Julianna. #encounters/guards

There are now guards constantly patrolling. #encounters/guards
