-At the gate leading into the town of Minus where guards on duty observe those traveling to and from the town, at times stopping persons of interest who have gained their attention...-

says to ALL: *It took some time but at least we made it. Thank Idun for a lack of trouble along the way, or a wave of bored zombies. That would have made travel difficult, what with the way the bodies rot when they are not actively hunting brains. Reaching the gate, I stopped and waited for a guard to address me and the rest of the party*

says to Ulrika StonegateCompanio: One of the guards pokes his head out from over the wall, looking down at you and whatever party you might have with you at the moment. He has approximately three teeth in his head and all those are bucked ones. Most had been knocked out by fighting, or repelling invaders over the years. They called him Bucky, and though he did not look particularly brilliant he was quite smart and was a good guard when he was needed, "Hello theressspff, whats yerpfsss businesspfss in Minusmpsss" I forgot to mention that he has a bit of a lisp from those three buck teeth.

says to ALL: *As I waited for the guard's reply, I looked about. It appeared that Minus was a good sized town, not as big as some of the places I had lived, but comfortable enough. I heard the lisping voice of a guarsd call and waited a moment. It was difficult to make out what he said, what with the distance as well as that lisp, but it might not be his fault he could not speak right. Perhaps a Healer could help him with that lisp* Tal, Sir. I am Ulrika Stonegate, the Companion of Kale, the Sister of Trei, and a Singer of some note *I chuckled at that one* I wish to enter Minus to see some old friends

says to Ulrika StonegateCompanio: The wall was perhaps ten feet tall, and wide enough that men could walk along its top. With the big heavy gates on the northern edge of the town it did not require many people to man the gates and guard the town. Bucky leans back, disappearing for a moment before leaning out again, "ohhhhh the Blacksmifss tole me thatpfss you'd be coming" He looks around to his fellow guards, and then pokes his head back over the wall again, "butpfss the smith said you'd havempfss to sing a song to prove whose youspfss are." The guard had been paid a fairly handy sum with the agreement that he make you sing to enter. Though of course that was not normal for the average visitor to Minus. You could hear the gates unlock in anticipation that you would sing a short song.

says to ALL: *At least the 'sing a song' was understandable, but the 'Blacksmith'. Those middle esses were a killer. I cleared my throat and chanted*
What is the worth of a song?
There are those who get it wrong.
Some might think a golden sphere
Others a bowl of soup without peer
For me, though, the price is to enter before long

says to Ulrika StonegateCompanio: Bucky, knowing he'd done his part to earn a bit of coin from the Blacksmith of Minus nods to the other guards and they open the gate. The structure takes several long moments to fold inward and then stop. When you walk inside all of the guards that are manning the wall today are standing there clapping their hands for you. Some of the towns people see them clapping and think that you must be some sort of famous person, and so hey wander over and begin to clap. You are able to start your first day in Minus with several dozen guards and members of the town clapping for you. Then all of a sudden they all stop and go back to their normal business for the evening.

-Is on the main street of Minus which is lined with shops and vendors, and the odd inn and tavern...-
says to ALL: *I waited as I heard a rumbling, a squeaking, and a grinding. It was good that I was wearing my veils, but my eyes may have told others that I was concerned with the sounds coming from the now opening gates. Calling to the guard Bucky* My thanks *and entered the twon. I saw the guards and the townspeople clap, and nodded* My thanks to you all. *And with that, I was on my way*
