| Gate Guard | You'll have to convince the captain to open them. |
| Gate Guard | Yes, citizen? |
| Gate Guard | The captain ordered the gates open and told me the goblins have been dealt with. What did you do? |
| Player | Where did you say the captain was again? |
| Player | I'll see what I can do. |
| Player | Why? |
| Player | Thank you. |
| Gate Guard | Halt! The gates to Valen City are closed. |
| Gate Guard | He is just over the bridge. |
| Player | Oh, ok. |
| Player | Nothing, never mind. |
| Player | Can you open them for me? |
| Gate Guard | No. |

| Gate Guard | Impressive. |
| Gate Guard | Captain Miller's orders. No one gets in. |
| Player | Yes. |
| Gate Guard | By yourself? |
| Guard Captain Miller | Surprisingly efficient. Now that the main threat is sorted, I suppose I can open the gates. |
| Guard Captain Miller | You lost a dead man's helmet? Go find it! |
| Guard Captain Miller | Come back when you actually have the coin, then. |
| Guard Captain Miller | If you insist. The main raiding force took off into the hills towns supplies. |
