Indeed, I have gone to places few know of and through stealth and my observations I have learned many secrets." He slowly unbuckles his belt. "Now. Where were we." looking at Trent and then back to Rosa, "You were going to agree to let me go if I tell you the secrets of my magic." _____________________________________________________________________________As Trent, Rosa, and the Lieutenant are conversing, Hightower senses slight movement to the north. Looking in that direction he gazes upon the front of the temple. The portico is comprised of a stone roof supported by thick white columns covering a steeply stepped dais. Hanging down from the roof edge are a number of strips of a kudzu-like tangle of vines. The strips of vines and shadows they cast on the columns behind them and steps below give the illusion of sharp teeth and the whole portico looks not unlike the mouth of some terrible reptilian beast; slightly open. The vines also conceal the area on the dais somewhat, deepening the shadow cast by the roof above.It was the swaying of one of these hanging strips of vines that caught Hightower's attention. The wind is light here and the rest of the vines are quiescent. As it settles and stills, Hightower  guesses that someone or something had held the vines aside to spy upon them, and believing that they would be spotted, had let the vines fall back to their natural position. He scans the gloom behind the vines carefully, but sees no one. Whomever or whatever was watching them seems to have retreated away from them, deep into the temple proper.</blockquote>
