The next morning, Whisper arrived at the inn with news: the party had been cleared of any remaining charges. Despite this, the group's exploration of the city was short-lived, as Bladegarden’s militaristic atmosphere left them uncomfortable. The city, positioned as a frontline garrison, was far from hospitable, prompting the party to leave.

Koro, still uncertain about how to safely cross the border into the Dwendalian Empire, led the group northeast out of the city. Along the way, a group of elves and dwarves seemed to recognize Koro, but the party avoided confrontation. Koro sent a familiar with a message to the group, arranging a meeting on a small hill where they camped.

By evening, the group of adventurers arrived, approaching Koro with reverence, addressing her as "Milady." It became clear that Koro holds some form of nobility in her homeland. The adventurers revealed they had been sent to escort Koro across the border using secret tunnels beneath Bladegarden, tunnels that may lead through the dangerous Underdark.
