The dispute at Wilhelm's dungeon had ended without injuries, but Sage considered the incident more serious than its immediate consequences suggested.
The Adventurer Guild was responsible for managing an expanding network of dungeons, and even a minor weakness in its administrative procedures could eventually create problems across multiple locations.
The existing Dungeon Pass system had already proven successful in Evergreen and other Guild-controlled territories.
However, the increased number of Adventurers visiting newly managed dungeons around Kingsford had exposed difficulties that were less noticeable when admission traffic remained manageable.
Sage had no intention of waiting for a serious accident before addressing them.
That morning, he summoned Garran, Cassian, Boren, Lyana, and Irene to his office.
Walter had also been instructed to attend, bringing the complete incident report and admission records from Wilhelm's dungeon.
