The woman - if she can be called that - is visible from Minala's perspective as soon as she steps down the side street. She is built powerfully buit elegantly, every proportion seeming mathematically perfect, and she is dressed in extravagant velvet attire that displays her figure whilst clearly allowing extensive mobility. Her face is beautiful, but it is a hard, cold and proud beauty. A bow is slung over one shoulder, and a sword hangs at her waist. She walks with a gait that bespeaks absolute confidence and authority. The reason her claim to womanhood could be disputed is her obviously supernatural nature. Her eyes glow red, and large feathery wings are folded neatly across her back. As she approaches down the narrow street her gaze is fixed on Minala. * * *  Eclaiyan, Krikit and Estariel, meanwhile, make a circuit of the fortress. Other than the main gate, two other entrances are obvious; one that is clearly meant for wagons and coaches, a portcullis through which a closed, paved courtyard can be seen. It is guarded in like manner to the front gate. At the rear of the fort is a much smaller and less prominent opening, apparently used by the servants. It is guarded like the other gates, but it does not seem locked or secured. A fairly constant stream of servants, tradesmen and petty messengers go in and out through the simple wooden door, watched but rarely obstructed by the guards. OOC:[sblock]Knowledge: the Planes for Minala to identify the 'woman' approaching her - but seeing as she doesn't have it, that's a moot point. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  She has one round's worth of actions, if she wants them, before the stranger reaches her.  * * *  Goddess, Scotley - you guys seem to be getting on nicely for now, so I'll let you chatter a little while longer before I butt in.[/sblock]</blockquote>
