The party found that there were royal guards awaiting them outside the resting area. "The king has sent us to act as your escort to the surface path. Please follow us so that we may avoid the construction and repair." The familiar royal guard gave a smirk to the party since he was acting very polite compared to how he had acted before.

"Well, thank you for seeing us off." Walker found it funny that they were receiving escorts everywhere they went and was going to do his best to get out without anyone when he returned home.

"Nope, I have it with me. Don't worry. You'll get a surprise when we get to the surface." Walker's smirk said it all.
