As the party begins to travel the fog will begin to clear and they will find themselves in a heavily wooded area. It begins to look more like a proper road but it is still worn by age and what looks like great neglect. The skies overhead are covered in rolling black clouds that seem to never let a single beam of proper sunlight shine through. The sounds of animals can be heard with a few occasional birds flying overhead. After five hours of travel the party see this.
The fog spills out of the forest to swallow up the road behind you. Ahead, jutting from the impenetrable woods on both sides of the road, are high stone buttresses looming gray in the fog. Huge iron gates hang on the stonework. Dew clings with cold tenacity to the rusted bars. Two headless statues of armed guardians flank the gate, their heads now lying among the weeds at their feet. They greet you only with silence.

There does not seem to be any sign of other living being besides the party themselves. The only sound filling the area is the screeching of the gates as they open to welcome the party to what lies beyond. If and when the party steps through the gates close behind them and do not reopen.

As he searches Richmond will find nothing that looks like an opening or closing method. In fact it looks as if no one had been near to even operate a mechanism to open the gates. It seemed that the gates had been opened and closed by some other force.

As Richmond walks through the area outside of the gate he will see that they are in an even densely packed forest. The path is surrounded by ancient trees that must have been centuries old, rivaling even the oldest of elves in age.
(From the book and for the rest of the party.) Towering trees, whose tops are lost in heavy gray mist, block out all but a death-gray light. The tree trunks are unnaturally close to one another, and the woods have the silence of a forgotten grave, yet exude the feeling of an unvoiced scream.
Patch Nugges Richard in the arm and leans in to wisper "Hay you gotta admit Joye and Madrick make a good couple huh, one being a paladin the other being a divine soul thing"
The only sounds that fill the area is the far off howl an animal in the distance and the sound of fluttering wings as a startled bird takes to the air. A series of howls accompany the first but each seem to come from varying distances, echoing eerily though the forest of giant tress thar surround the party.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~And we begin our journey~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(This is for once everyone is ready.)

Guys be on the lookout. The doors must've been closed by magic.
Richmond will continue walking forward.
Whats the inside or other side of the gates look like (room wise)

Matrick strides forward and calls to the emptiness "You can come on out, we're no danger to anyone here. Let us help you if you are in need."
He says quietly to the group "Or they can assist us."
(OOC: You know darn well Matrick is to be married Patch. The only thing he talks about more than cooking is his beloved, who taught him to cook.)

Let's keep moving, I don't want to get caught in the woods by a wolf pack tonight.
