The kobold's suspicion was expected. In fact, it was more surprising that the other members of the party didn't question her alleged ability to open the gates nobody else could. It was very suspicious, no matter how one looked at it. Most people would either assume she didn't know any better or that she was lying to lead them into a trap. In a sense, she was doing that latter thing, but she didn't mean to rob or kill them. At least her plan didn't involve any of them dying on purpose.<br/><br/>"Let's just say, even gods misplace their keys at times." Beleth answered ambiguously. The truth was, the kobold had the right idea. The Lost City was indeed sealed by the gods, specifically because of her, but the way to open the gate was surprisingly easy. It wasn't a question of power, but rather, only an immortal being - at least in the normal sense of the word - could pass through it. Sealed in a mortal body, she wasn't eligible, but after decades of research, she did discover a bit of a loophole. A loophole that required at least one companion at her side.<br/><br/>"No road is completely safe these days." She replied to the orc. "The path is rather long, so we'll likely see some brigands. But with five of us, and you especially, most would not dare impede us."
