Nodding to Delora, he gestured to the stairs with his chin. "C'mon." he said, darting for the stairs. "Cover me." he whispered.
He gave the entire floor a sweep, pausing at each window out of sight (to one side), before quickly looking out... If he saw nothing, he then went back to the window and looked down and around, just to make sure no-one was climbing up. All the time he was relying on Delora to cover him.

All the time he was relying on Delora to cover him. whispered Delora as she followed Dace up the stairs. Following him room after room, checking each one. Each one empty like the last. Looking up in the final south facing room, Delora gasps and points to the wizards tower.... Only veiwable from the upstairs, the top floors of the tower are like a shadow of the building. The only floor that looks like its former self is the ground floor. At the top of the building coloured lights flare out of it, almost like magical fireworks. Within the tower itself, shadow like figures move around, almost like they are floating on air.
OOC- hope that makes some sense..... |

OOC- hope that makes some sense.....Patting Delora on the shoulder, he parted with a "Wait here." and padded downstairs. Making eye contact with Cathmhaol, he said "If you like that, you're gonna love this." he said, and went back upstairs, hoping their leader followed. |

Zeric retained his place at the bar, continuing to gather bottles to utilise as improvised missile weapons. Hearing Dace's statement, he announced, "We three will hold this great fortress to our last breath and shall await your return with bated breath."

Nodding at Zeric, Eneval agreed "yes, that we will. To the end"

Zeric rolled his eyes behind Eneval's back, thinking to himself, " Elves! No sense of sarcasm..."  |

OOC: Neither does Zeric as a rule. It's more a case of... how much will it hurt or offend? He's a nice guy deep down (or something) ;D

The smelly dwarf merely slapped his axes against his armoured legs and threw back:
"Fer sure we will, meestah Zeric Sah. Nae, iffn one o' they bottles be havin' tha reqirement o' a dram in 'em, lob it this way would ya? This waitin' be thirsty business."
Rumbleskin gives the impression that this was meant in a jovial manner, but the delivery may not necessarily have been all he hoped for...

"Just keep yer attention on what's happenin' outside," said Cathmhaol, as he headed for the stairs. He followed Dace back upstairs and looked out the window.
"I didn't like that, an' I don't like this!" he growled, as he watched the shadows in the tower. "I reckon we take a closer look in the morn', but I ain't steppin' foot outside tonight."

Dace nodded and took up his position at the window again. "It happened on my watch. I've got another hour or so, I reckon." he said, removing the bolt from the crossbow pistol and laying them both at his feet.

"Aye," grumbled Cathmhaol as he headed back to the stairs, "Ye're a lucky bugger. Just be gentle when ye wake me in an hour!"

The rest of Dace's and Rumpleskins watch passes without incident, though the tower was still shrouded in shadow. The creatures floating in and out of it rarely approaching the other buildings as if looking for something
The Caravan guard wakes up cathmhaol for the start of his watch, with something like 8 hours or so remaining till daylight

Settling down to get some rest, Dace prepared all of his weapons at close quarters, and then yawned, stretched and tried his best to nod off.

Zeric settled down again to try to get some much-required rest, "Do not wake me unless whoever it is is battering down the doors. Then, do so only if you cannot handle them by yourselves."
