Checkpoint

Left of the Crossroads, here are two guards that are halting passage. If you attempt to pass them they will talk to Claire and attempt to charge a fee of 50 gold initially. This can be bargained down to 40 gold if you initially refuse and if you then insult them you will gain +1 Defiance. This also locks out that path requiring you to go through the forest(Which is can result in a bad end if a pigman catches you when you don't have the knife in in your inventory.
