The clearing outside of the cave is very small and rocky. Only about four or five people can fit it if they squeeze. The ground is very rough and covered with plant life. There are also a few trees growing in the mouth of the cave, to the east of the tiny clearing, meaning people have to slip between the trees to get into the cave. This makes it easier to hide, because the people will drag brush to the cave mouth and make it look like it has fallen there naturally, blocking the existence of the cave at all. The clearing is both very convenient as it makes an excellent hiding place, and very inconvenient because it is very hard to get people through the clearing and into the cave quickly in an emergency.

the princess who lives in the castle and can't escape.
I am stuck here forever. I wish I could leave but can't use to my father. I do not like the guards.
hey there Hello my lady, what brings you here? Just wondering around the castle I have a band of campers that travel with me, I just went out to gather some fruits and herbs would you like to come back to the camp with me and have something to eat? I'm sorry, i can't leave the premises of this castle Why can't you leave? That sucks, I suppose I can collect more fruit. I'm under a curse which bounds me to the vicinity of the castle Do you know how to break the curse, maybe I can help you. I have no idea What are you reading here?  One of the numerous books in the castle library Just looked like you had read that one more than the others, but since it doesn't matter to you.
