Episode 1 Scene 1 : The Arrival

The guard looks at Faedrith and nods saying, "Yeah, you just," he points off to his right, "go down that road it will lead you to the bridge that takes you to the garrison. You cannot miss it."

Armed with directions, finding the garrison is not a difficult manner as it resides within the fort that is at the end of two of the roads out of three that exist within the village. The north-south road is nearly a straight line between the north and south gates and the other two roads go from near each gate to the fort which is located east of the gates and pretty close to half way between them. Using these main packed dirt roads is pretty easy and they are bordered by wooden walkways to allow easier travel when the roads are not so dry as they are now. Further they can see that once one leaves one of these main roads the tents of the open market place appears to be a haphazard maze of narrow walkways interspersed with small open areas where a tent once stood. Upon getting closer to the fort the group arrives at a bridge which from a distance looks rather crude but upon closer inspection turns out to be very stable and probably capable of handling a pretty heavy load before even complaining. Just before the bridge though seems to be a guard check point as the group is halted from going any further, "Please state the nature of your business."

Meanwhile, before getting to the bridge, Virielo notices a nicely dressed dark skinned fFolk female noticing him and her darker skin does not appear to be due to her human heritage.

The guard looks questioningly at Stor, "Okay..? well if you are planning on staying in the village more than a weeks time you are required to join the garrison in support of the village that you are calling home. Now it appears that is your intent... so... proceeding forward you will check your weapons with the man over there." He points to a table off to the side where a man sits with a book in front of him and a pair of guards to either side. "Once you have checked your weapons, you will need to submit to a search just in case, then finally a minor test prior to being allowed to cross the bridge."

The guard gestures Stalvos over to the man with the book so he can check all his weapons.

The man seated at the table briefly glances up from his recording of the items and says to Stor, "Most definitely," he then goes back to recording in his book as he continues with, "and that is why all non-garrison members must check there weapons here as one can never be too careful."
