They were at the edge of the settlement, a 7' tall wall blocking them off, as most likely was meant to stop Grimm, although judging by the large opening that was smashed through, it didn't do its job well enough. There was a large gate in front of them, and through it they could see most of the street. It was a rather wide street, which turned several dozen feet ahead. Three narrow alleyways were scattered, two in the West, one in the East, with the lack of openings between the buildings, but they were rather dimly lit, despite it almost being noon. The buildings themselves were shambles, like shells of their former foundations, albeit breached. There was clear damage to the doors, windows and other openings, some Grimm-made, such as the gaping holes in the walls that revealed the destroyed furniture inside. Two particular houses, nearly adjacent to another, appeared to be boarded up, wood covering the windows and markings of nails and planks across the empty doorways.
A large building loomed over the street, as if gazing upon the desolate wasteland as it towered above the other structures as it sat at the end of the street before it turned. It seemed far more solid, with almost no holes in the walls, save one at the lowest floor. There was no life they could see in this town, with knocked over and destroyed barrels, ruins of a carriage, a pile of boxes with a tarp covering them, and a torn stuffed teddy bear on the ground, next to multiple old bullet shells. Dark brown stains scattered, in various places, most apparent inside the buildings they could see into. The city looked bleak and dead, but something sent slight shivers down the students's spines. Michelle, Perry and Fransesca said they would cover the entrance, to ensure the other 5 had a safe route out of the city if things got hairy.
