Large decorative timbers carved in the shapes of thick, leafy vines are
lashed together with gilded wires to form a gate leading to the south. 
Through the thick green vines and leaves, you can see a heavily armored
gate.  On closer inspection you realize the gate hasn't been used in years,
the hinges although ornamental are rusted shut from years of neglect.  There
must be another way into the Keep somewhere nearby.
