Meeting a Stone Shield on route to Baldiver's

Continuing on in the direction Redmane had indicated the group walk the cobbles of the Circle, the ominous presence of the castle looming over them. A group of town guards - the Stone Shields no doubt, intercept them as they reach the entrance to the street Redmane had indicated.

"Good evening gentlemen, ladies" nods one of the Stone Shields. "Pretty late t' be walking the streets..." he observes. Glancing back towards the wagons they had left several hundred yards back, he smiles. "I'm a guessing you've just arrived. Do you know where you are going?" he asks.

"Baldivers," pipes up Cleo as she tended to be in fron of the group. "'Twas recommended to us as a place for good food and good beds, both of which we are eagerly seeking."

"Baldiver's eh?" replies the guard. "Aye, that be a fair place t' stay. Yer can find it down Baldacre street here, about three, mebbe four hundred yards on the right. Yer can't miss it - look fer a smaller version of that!" He nods towards the main castle. "It's not yer average inn" he adds.

As the group move on their way in the indicated direction, he calls after them. "Look fer the bell pull - if yer just knock, they'll never hear yer!"
