The glow of torches or a fire give the cave entrance an ominous appearance, but the crack of thunder alongside the deluge of rain and battering of hail drove you to ignore your apprehension. Stepping past the precipice into the fanged mouth of the cave, several guards of what appears to be a merchant caravan approach, weapons drawn but not raised.
The lead guard, apparently a captain from his higher quality sword and more elaborately decorated armor, holds up a hand as the last of you steps out of the storm.
"Ho there! What brings such an...exotic group through Khelbane's Pass? Naught but Trade Guild merchants use this pass," the lead guard, his voice gruff and graveled, demands, his posture tense.
"Oh coin of Aengrist, calm down Captain!" calls out a woman from further in the camp.
Shoving aside several of the slower guard, a pale-skinned, silver-blonde human woman approached your group as she continued to berate the guard captain, "Despite what the Guild likes to claim, they do not own this pass, and this is the only shelter from that storm for leagues! So pipe down, and let them warm up by a fire! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!"
Despite being a hair over five foot at most, the woman seemed to tower over the guard captain. Without a word, the guards began to sheathe swords and relax their posture.

OOC:
I leave how long you guys have known each other to you, but the five of you are entering the cave as a single group.
