[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 4922175, member: 11146"] A copy and paste from the IC: The gate is wood, of good quality, and consists of a set of hinged double doors that are normally barred from the inside with a wooden plank that the town guards insert into a pair of brackets. To close the door is a simple matter for an upright person with two free hands. You pull the heavy wooden gate doors closed, then slide the wooden bar into place. The bar is normally stored either propped up beside the wall adjacent to the gate. There's no gatehouse...it's all rather low-tech. Sandpoint isn't that large a town, and hasn't been around long enough for a more defendable stone archway and iron portcullis to be designed and built. I think you'll find that, upon exiting the White Deer, help for the gate is on the way. I'll be home this weekend and available to post--when it looks like everyone's ready to leave the Deer, I'll put up a continuation. Unless, that is, you want Taran to do something specific with regard to the open Gate. Either way, I'll keep my eye on the IC and make myself available to post. Let me know if you'd like more info.
