"...Uh-huh."  Well, that was annoying.  Tristeria didn't even have a chance to get her questions answered before a local native decided to butt in.  And with some ridiculous bullshit about a toll road, at that.  "And what happens if we decide not to tread on the ground at all?  You know, flight, teleportation, burrowing, or whatever other ways might exist to just bypass you altogether.  Would there be any consequences to forcing our way past your little roadblock without paying you?"
