[color=ff9900]"Alright..."[/color] Týfurkh replied. Just by carefully listening to his words one could already get the impression that his attention was already being gathered elsewhere. [color=ff9900]"I hope I don't need to tell anyone that you need to protect us while I am delivering this message. Just in case..."[/color] He made a few steps back away from the edge of the platform, as far as the presence of the huge bells allowed. Adding one or two meters to the few kilometers the message would have to travel would hardly make a difference, but being seen from downside or not very well could.

The tower's height proved to be perfect for their plan. The city walls were no match for its height, any signal intended to reach out far enough could travel over them unhindered. Also there were no other buildings visible that could get anyone else in its way, so it also was pretty safe to assume that nobody else could be eavesdropping. Though, honestly, trying to eavesdrop from this near would have made one's ears burst in blood probably. In order to overcome several kilometers of atmospheric damping Týfurkh had to shout very, very loud.

[color=ff9900][b]"Hear thee not, the sweet whispers of Kaspar, ..."[/b][/color]

None of Týfurkh's companions would be able to hear anything, and neither would any of the cultists that had managed to follow them undetected.

[color=ff9900][b]"... lest you take his place when Samiel, ..."[/b][/color]

One could see sweat burst out not only along Týfurkh's forehead and cheeks, but also among the major part of his upper body. As he continued with the last part of the messages he also started to turn rather pale.

[color=ff9900][b]"... the Black Huntsman comes to collect him."[/b][/color]

Done! The giant man stumbled backwards and hit one of the bells. It nearly was moved enough to make the clapper hit the inner walls, but luckily it remained silent.

[color=ff9900]"Give me a few moments please. This was quite... exhausting."[/color] and he continued to breathe heavily, having no idea that their enemies were approaching as he was speaking. Týfurkh started to reattach the straps of his armor he had undone previously with slightly shaking hands as he was leaning against the bell. He could see the entrace of the narrow stairwell they had come through, but nobody was to be seen yet. [color=ff9900]"Now that our primary objective has been achieved I'm wondering if we should to return with stealth as well or if we should just try to make a run for it as fast as possible. I'm open to both strategies, to be honest..."[/color]
