Your course decided, the two of you make your way out of the silent chapter-house and head towards the main road. Thankfully, as Taldor is still one of the more affluent city-states in the Inner Sea realms, the roads are all cobbled and well-marked, so there is no question of losing their way. However, the walk is long... very, very long. Generally, even Pathfinder chapters outside of cities are less than 100' from the walls; but it takes you a good three hours on foot to make your way from the abandoned chapter to the Taldan gates. A clear sign of just how much favor the Pathfinders have lost.<br/><br/>At this point, the sun is starting to lower on the horizon, and the guards at the gate seem to be fresh. They're talking to local farmers colloquially, hailing merchants as they come and go, and generally covering all their bases. And when they see you, two unfamiliar faces in a sea of "regulars," their curiosity is piqued.<br/><br/>"Hail, travelers!" The first guard cries out cheerily enough, despite the fact that his hand has dropped to his blade. "What brings a lovely couple like yourself to Taldor? And why does the missus look like she's made up for fighting?"
