North wall militia towers

A large pair of towers and open gate and portcullis interrupt the cobblestone road you have been travelling.

Five guardsmen sit outside the front of the city's gate. They play dice at a small weather-worn table.

The two three-story towers stretch up to the sky, each with an archer undercover, occasionally peering through looking glasses either toward town or away.

The wall stretches from the river to the East and the hill to the West. Atop the hill is some kind of walled fortress. At both the hill and the river, another tower, similar but protruding more from the wall than the taller gatehouse wall, looms over the surrounding area. It is unclear whether guards man these towers.

Two of the guards stand up and walk toward you as you approach.

Guard:"'Greetings! Welcome to Fallcrest. Our custom here is to check you for weapons and contraband before you enter. We do not seize any of it, but we do like to know what comes in and out of our fair town. Please stand over here...'"

One of the guards searches your body and equipment while the other provides small-talk and, if you seem to enjoy it, banter. If you manage to befriend either, they offer you to join them at dice.

If you have weapons or contraband, the talkative guard writes in his notebook.
