Satisfied you are telling the truth, the guard says, "You'll have to send someone inside to contact Dimeru Faldinor of the Temple of Silence. He'll have the right papers for bringing in dead bodies into the fort that you can go through, but you can't bring her in otherwise.

We do not watch over your trash."
