[sblock=For Verdis]
Verdis climbs up to one of the arrow slits and pulls aside the thick black cloth covering one of the arrow slits. He peers out into the darkness, trying to determine who lurks outside.
Although it is dark, he sees a cluster of men standing before the door to the tower, covered in dark cloaks. One appears to be female, judging from her long dark hair and feminine form, and the one pounding upon the door appears to be a dwarf. Another four humanoids stand grouped with them.
