The gate keeper vets all who want to enter the town so be on your best behaviour when you encounter him.

Livestock and fowl play a huge part in the lives of the townspeople and roam at will. So mind where you step.

Be watchful for anyone emptying buckets of unknowable contents from the upper stories.
