Kelberg had a total of four gates that surrounded the city. Each gate had an outpost that was stationed just outside the gate. These outposts were usually heavily guarded just in case of an attack on the city. They also did things such as inspection of equipment and taking the prisoners to the dungeon below.
The knight found on the pathway to Kelberg had told them that currently the West outpost and Gate had been completely taken over and was being controlled by beasts and members of the Shadow plague. But that was all the information he could give before he quickly passed away.
When the group finally exited from the forest, they could see the city in sight. Just outside the west gate, an army had gathered. There were hundreds of soldiers, archers and catapults stood there ready for battle. There were even some adventures mixed in with the City's men.
The group hurried to the West gate where the army had gathered, that's when Lilly approached the man in charge.
