The token turned out to be a small stick with the number of party members and rank written on it with ink, and then a brief shorthand note that Karl assumed was their descriptions in a local code.
But when the bunny girl at the gate began to giggle, Karl realized that it was most likely a warning about Lotus, and not anything to do with their actual threat level to the city.
Now Lotus was much more calm as they entered the city, as she had already gotten a dose of fluffy bunny ears to calm her down, and she could happily admire everything within the city.
Interestingly, it turned out that there were far fewer Trolls inside the city than on the farms, and the population was a little over half Dwarven, with the rest being almost all beastkin.
Fortunately for Karl and the others, that also meant that the city was sized for larger bodies, as the larger beastkin species were often close to two metres tall.
