He seems nervously prideful about this.Koehl bids his good evenings, and the others follow suit shortly. The hour is late, but Koehl promises to wake early to meet you, as he understands the urgency of your task....Come morning, there is a firm but restrained knocking at the doors as the servants deliver your waking-call. The Crownsmen meet you shortly thereafter, to commence your escort.Leaving the estate, Brich points out your destination: Tower Riege, a protruding structure a short distance south of the town proper, surrounded densely by other, smaller fortifications. It is the size of these that hints at the true size of the thing, even at this distance: The Tower appears to be between three and four hundred feet at its highest point, and nearly half that in diameter. The design is somewhat irregular, with a wide and flat slope facing toward the main city, seeming to lean into its curved back, which itself is supported by a row of smaller connected tower-structures. Two spires emerge prominently at either side of the flat face of the building, long lines of smoke trailing from the heavy firepits at their tips. Even from this distance, the stone seems very old indeed.</blockquote>
