Not far away from the group, off on the other side of the gate and still slightly within the shadow provided by it, you see a strange figure. Eyes are the first thing you notice, a strange grey colour. A realization can be seen within them, and the creature then stands up completely. In fact...it really stands up.
The creature is humanoid in form, gaunt and thin, though it still looks very strong. Perhaps that is because of its size. The creature stands twenty feet high, just a little taller than the wall. It has plain white hair, dark grey skin, and wear's fairly expensive looking clothes. If its size isn't intimidating enough, the mace it holds in its right hand that is at least the size of you just adds to it.
He looks down on all of you, completely ignoring the scattering figures on the wall itself, and speaks in a disturbingly soft voice, "I am sorry, travelers, but you may not pass into this city. I would prefer to avoid a fight in this matter, however my orders are very strict. Turn back now. This is the only warning you will receive."
