[Intruder alert] The device in front of Cain notifies him, showing a magical visual of a line of beastkin heading for the city, the first few attempting to find the legendary entrance to the mountain to keep themselves safe.
[Open the gates and let them in.] Cain instructs, receiving an affirmative beep from the device, and he can see the Bearkin in the lead stumble as the doors open in front of him, dropping him through the illusion.

[Welcome everyone to my humble city. I am Mayor Cain, and I will be your host for this apocalypse.] Cain welcomes them, his mental voice echoing through every mind within a hundred kilometers.
