"You apparently had problems going through, and knowing the guard, you..." He now faced Sherani, pointing at her undemonstratively. "...probably had problems too. Also, I know someone who frequents the area that might give us some issues as well. A human, Clyde Vressik, probably the same Clyde Talia was referring to earlier. He's a Granger, a contact from within the Guard I believe. He's not there all the time, but if we do run into him we might have a big problem on our hands."<br/></div></blockquote><br/><br/>“Me?” Lilium emit’s a soft giggle “I had no trouble getting through the gates at all. You’d be surprised how easily most guard folk are swayed by a smooth tongue” Although the entry was a bit more difficult then Lilium seemed to let on, The guards in Espen seemed underpaid and a bit of coin could go a long way. Still, The prospect of shelling out more coin just to leave the city sounded irritating. Seemed like every individual person was doing their part to make this famine worse. Lilium chuckled to herself, Confused as to why she was even grieving for others.<br/><br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Allie wrote:</cite>"I'm for the southwest, myself," she continues.

Likely we’ll run into a few folk causing trouble out of desperation, At least they will lack the organization that the other paths will” After briefly lacing her fingers through her familiars fur Lilium stood up to gather her personal effects, Heading upstairs she quickly grabbed her traveling pack and other items before heading downstairs and to the front door. “Thanks for the room Vincent” Lilium offered the old inn keeper a polite smile and a friendly wave before opening the door. Stretching her arms out with a yawn as the sunlight hit her face “Shall we?” She said calling back to the others.
