This was obviously the work of a Necromancer, possibly a very powerful one. He had experience with spellcasters like this, at least enough to nail down some general facts to work with. [color=b8860b]"Right. Looks as the better number of us're votin' Tower. It's still early yet, so if we're doin' this, lets start making prep'rations, yeah?"[/color] Keystone raised a fist to his mouth and cleared his throat, then clasped his hands in front of him. His posture, his mannerisms; they could easily attest to his prior occupations of Tavern Bouncer and Bodyguard. His no-nonsense appearance was reflected in his speech, which like him was blunt and to the point. [color=b8860b]"Them Necromancers're scary types, no doubt, but if'n they're still alive an' not some Magic Walkin' Corpse, then they'll be needin' some of the basics of civilization. That is to say, access to food, water, shelter. Blighters ain't known for being very tough or outdoorsy, on average. That tower's as likely a place as any to find the wankstain what's responsible."[/color] An odd thought crossed his mind; it was just as likely as any other outcome that the tower and the caves were linked underground. It might account for some things, but really only served as a distraction from what they knew for certain at the moment. A good maybe to have tucked away in case they saw further evidence for it. Right now, concentrate on preparing for a [i]tower[/i] run. They could come back ready for an underground jaunt later if his suspicions were correct. [color=b8860b]"If you lot'll excuse me, I'm goin' to get my belongings square and prep for a fight. You ladies what ain't et breakfast yet - got some eggy bowls downstairs what might still be nice n' warm. Today's gonna sod it, may as well start out with a full belly. If we're scoutin' that Tower, we need handle it bloody soon and as strong as we're able."[/color] Keystone started for the door, but paused about halfway. [color=b8860b]"Yeah, and make it back [i]here[/i], soon as possible. Together."[/color]
