Mystery of Saromen Fro

Gennadius feels the danger he is in.

He had hoped to get close to a knife, but hasn’t been shown one thus far.

Now he has full attention on Igolio, but in his last glance around he had seen a cast iron fire stoker laying atop the waist level bricks of the side shelf of the furnace structure.

If push comes to shove, Gennadius could step over and grab the tool - not an ideal weapon, but perhaps something that could give him a fighting chance to defend himself.

It is so very hot here close to the tower.

Damanadros tries to keep his mind focused on the gate door.

Still his attention is drawn to the tower. Even when he doesn’t look over directly at it, he is aware of the power aura there within the highest part of the tall structure.

Even all around the area within the compound, rift and disturbance disrupts the air.

Something fascinating though is in that tower. Damanadros knows. It has not called to him by voice, he doesn’t think so at least - but the mystery of the tower is magnetic.

Damanandros is awestruck by the immense display of magic unfolding before his eyes. His mind races, contemplating various ways to investigate the phenomenon from a safe distance. However, his current abilities only grant him a heightened awareness of the magical aura, leaving him yearning for additional tools and spells that could provide deeper insights into the nature of these powerful emanations.

Glancing towards the gate, he assesses the situation, taking note of Gundus' favorable rapport with the locals. This could prove to be a significant advantage in their endeavors. The allure of the tower's hidden secrets tugs at his curiosity, tempting him to join Gundus and enter through the gate. However, the presence of Xenophon holds him back, reminding him of the importance of their collective mission.

A loud sound. CHKUUUUKKK!!
And now the rattling of sliding chains, a cranking wheel, and a heavy oak board thumping and bumping as it is raised clear.

Syrena sees, directly across from her, the bolt beam being lifted from its hanger.

The gate doors are unlocked!

Gennadius looks down. Rats are running towards him from every direction. One pounces onto his pants leg. Another leaps from a stool and barely falls short of him.

They are closing in - everywhere.

The whistle sounds out through the compound. Gennadius glances across to see Aduourix calling to open the gate.
