We are tired of people using our city and a haven while they steal items of the Gods from others. After much time praying the Gods have answered our prayers and will no longer allow these Relics to be brought into our city.
After considerable construction costs we have created a road where the thief my run by Avendell without needing to enter. Since we will not put our forces to guard this road we have hired mercenaries to patrol it. Also, that greedy dragon is banned from our city she may use the new area to rob her customers, the income she brings is not worth her presence in our city.
To avoid innocents being thrown in the middle we hired the mages guild to create a portal so they may be sent to the Dark Forest without traveling outside our gates in case there are those who wish to cause them harm.
Umm.. Just an FYI... It seems that the Avendel Mercenaries share a Faction with the monks of the Monastary. So if you have ever farmed the Monastary for equipment then you will be hostile to the guards in the Avendel Crossing. They are as CR 20+ but fight as if they are CR 30+. Also the Transition into the Darkforest from the crossing is currently not working.
A minor delay but everything is working and yes they are from that same group but I imagine you can be forgiven once but if you choose to harm then again...
If they are hired mercs then maybe there ought to be an option to bribe them for a hostility reset for those that have slaughtered those worthless monks.
No it doesnt and let me add like anything new it can be subject to change if it isnt working out the best, additions should enhance gameplay so lets see how it runs then we can look at it again.

Perhaps adding a sign post where the Dark Forsest transition used to be explaining where the portal is might help. We have been answering questions about how to get to Dark Forest all day.
