The town you see is also covered by a rather large wooden wall, as it is apparently a common staple for these particular wooded areas.  You see little else besides the gate upon the road, which was apparently designed to keep the town safe against an attack of just about any sort.  Guards stand at the ready in front of the gate, spears in hand and armored to the teeth by the looks of it.  As you approach you can sense that they are watching you, and are doing so quite keenly.<br/><br/>As you come within a good hundred feet or so, one of them steps up to you, the woman on the right laden with chain armor and a spear.  She holds up a hand, motioning for you to halt your approach.<br/><br/>"Name and purpose?" she says with a clearly commanding tone as her male associate steps up with her spear in hand "Apologies, but I have to ask, including if you have any trade goods that you may have."
