After watching all the labourers and masons work on fixing the main gate, D=
arwhal decides to stick around this gate with the cluster of other people w=
aiting for entry into the city.


=22Arg, just my luck, to be stuck out here.=22


People waiting around you grumble in brief agreement.


Darwhal decides against taking another exit because he doesn't seem to see =
anybody else leave the gate.


In the end, the repairs to the gate take the better part of two hours. By t=
hat time, Darwhal is about 10 metres from the gate entrance, and the line b=
egins to pick up just before he enters the gate corridor. Just ahead, a gua=
rdswoman is processing people entering the city in Darwhal's line. She bris=
kly questions each entrant. Darwhal's turn quickly arrives, and he trudges =
forward with his pony behind. At the sight of him, the guardswoman (a Sylva=
n Elf, it seems) snorts derisively. She then questions him.

'Name, little man?'
=0A
'How's about you tell me why you're here?'

'Are all of you so damned short?'

'Where's the hole you crawled out of?'

'Have you got somewhere lined up to stay, or are you just gonna get drunk a=
nd fall face-first on the streets? The dirt on your face would be an improv=
ement, though.'
