"If those yeth hounds start up, then I should be able to counter that.”“OK." Serena smiled at the halfling, glad that they'd brought him along. "Lets take a closer look.” Serena called forth on the powers of her mind to strip away all deception and reveal all hidden things in her field of vision. However, nothing appeared different. The buildings were concealed well within the canyon so that spotting it from the air was difficult, but there was no illusionary powers at work.The seer could see that there were three black armoured knights who stood watch. They appeared to be taking their duties lightly as they were playing a game of cards, but sat within easy reach of the large alarm bell that hung inside the top of tower.“WHY DON'T WE SEND IN THE WIZARD AND THE THIEF," Caleb suggested. He saw the stone cold look that Andrew was giving him and corrected his previous suggestion. "UH, GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER.”"Master," one of the mephits cackled gleefully. "I did not realise that we were supposed to bring black masks.”Andrew volunteered to stealthily make his way over to the watch tower and take out the three guards. Caleb enquired whether he was planning on using enchantment to aid him in reaching the tower and Andrew did not look impressed.“I can hide quite adeptly,” he stated caustically.“Once I discovered how to see invisibility, it kind of seemed dishonourable." Littleby admitted to no one in particular. "I've levelled the playing field somewhat.” “Strange," Andrew replied. "But I don't see your logic in that at all.”“I know. I'll be leaving now.” The dwarf laughed and then realised that no one got the joke, perhaps if he'd said something about getting his coat. Nevermind, he thought, how about coming at the tower from a different angle. “I could go very high and then come down on the watch-tower.”“You do that and why don't we synchronise it so that I jump out of the shadows and we cause bodily harm to the guards?” The Indep drew his longsword in a single motion, checked its balance and then slid it back in to its scabbard.“I have a talent that would help us to synchronise that perfectly,” Serena suggested.“Sir Osbourne could do a flying charge at the same time,” Cade added.“I COULD STAY HERE AND GET THE DIRT OF MY SHOES,” the earth genasi said straight faced.“I'll be here with you,” the halfling was grinning from ear to ear in anticipation of the upcoming excitement about to be played out in the canyon. “We will join in as the second wave, won't we?”“I'll go in as the third wave,” the seer stated in a less than enthusiastic tone.Whilst the warriors were checking their equipment, Serena sent out a mental invitation for each of them to join in her collective link. This would enable them to each broadcast messages to the others and communicate even when out of sight of each other. The seer made a point of not inviting the mephits who were constantly linked to their master in any case.Caleb knelt down, touching the soil with both hands and called upon the power of Grumbar to grant him protection from those of a malevolent disposition within a certain radius of himself. When he finished praying he noticed that Littleby had begun to cast the same enchantment on each of the companions that asked for it. They both stopped what they were doing and looked at each other with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance.“We should have discussed this in the morning, shouldn't we?” Littleby asked.“YES. ANYWAY....” Caleb scratched the back of his head and then they both began to laugh heartily.With the protective enchantments in place, Andrew got ready to approach the tower. Littleby flew upwards almost out of sight and the others waited behind some large boulders for the signal to be sent.</blockquote>
