Description:
Mulberry translates the runes. Starting from the upper left and going clockwise it reads…
“Power” – “Protection” – “Big” – “Object” – “Property” – “Big”
Mulberry can’t be sure exactly what the spell does, but it obviously is meant to keep people out.
She brings the staff up to it, but she finds she can’t get it close. It’s like there is an invisible force keeping it away. The feeling reminds her a lot of trying to push two magnets with the same poles together.
She reaches up a hoof and tries to scratch the runes away, but it doesn’t seem to work, and the runes are carved pretty deep into the door anyway.
Mulberry walks around the pathway a bit and searches for any sort of other entrance she can find. Unfortunately she is unsuucessful. She looks up at the top of the wall, sighing and wishing she was a pegasus. She doubts she could even find a ladder high enough to reach.
She huffs, and wonders why anyone would put a gate like this in front of a college, but then she remembers the place used to be a fortress as well, so she supposes she can’t begrudge the masons of this place when they created a narrow, defensive position.
