"Incoming! Hurry up and open the gates!"
The Vexa gate guard captain shouts to his men as he notices us approaching the gates with our tired horses. Just by looking at the faces at all of our party, I could tell it was a good time to be back. Many of our weapons and shields are dented and bruised.
The people of Vexa stop briefly to look at our arrival through the entrance gates. They notice our weary expressions and beaten armour. Many hold their hands up to their heart and nod to us to thank us for fighting the goblins.
They too must know there is much danger outside of these protective walls.
We first head to the Vexa stables to return our cavalry trained horses. I gently get off of my horse and feed it some apples before giving it a pat and saying goodbye. Our journey together may have been brief, but it was fun while it lasted.
The rest of my crew returns their horses.
