Allyn made it down the path without any trouble. Just as soon as he was completely surrounded by the darkness, his eyes were able to adjust (the pinpoints of moonlight shining through the branches helped).

It took him about ten minutes before he saw the light at the end of the trail- the clearing! As he got closer, he could see a brick and mortar wall, and a wrought iron gate, that stood wide open...

Once in the clearing, it was plain to see that the brick went on in either direction. The trees clustered too close to see where the actual corners were, but the were presumably just beneath the rather large stone gargoyles, perched on the wall! They were fairly typical, not especially grotesque or gruesome, but there was a pronounced... [i]Severity[/i] to them, visible even from a distance. Something about them...

[i]Wait a minute... Gargoyles are supposed to ward off bad spirits... So why are they facing INSIDE the walls?[/i]

The office is visible from the gate.
