After leaving the forest we headed to the city close by.
Even though it wasn't so long since we had been here, the place had a completely different atmosphere.
The first reason for that was the troops that ended up arriving on the days we were away, both professionals and adventurers/mercenaries who were looking for positions or an opportunity to perform an exploit and get a reward painted the city in a different light as the common folk ended up leaving.
Since in our absence the elves had expanded the forest to the point of encroaching on the gate, those who remained in the city were preparing for a siege.
As this place was close to a dungeon gate, before this whole ordeal it seemed to have been quite prosperous, as close to the center of the city there was a whole commercial area that was being repurposed in order to supply weapons and necessities for the army standing in the city.
