The group moves to the wall and makes their way up the stairs. This structure at least seems better preserved and the stone work is reassuringly solid beneath your feet. An old stone tower, its wooden roof collapsed and its crumbling walls thick with ivy, extends a further ten feet above the twenty foot-high wall here.Looking out from the prison you can see much of the little town of Ravengro from up here. While trees obscure many details you can still see much. The simple hard working people are going about their daily routines. The land immediately nearby the prison is tangled with a hundred years of overgrowth.  No one has cleared the land and it appears their has been little traffic nearby. The herders tracks, farm paths and even game trails seem to avoid proximity to the prison. Further out you can see that deadfall in the forest has been gathered for fuel and farm fences, but near to the prison nothing has been disturbed.Looking inward you can see that much of the eastern side of the prison has collapsed into a pond, walls towers and even a portion of the main building are long since fallen into ruin. In a few places the roof of the main building has fallen in or been blown off by past storms. The bare rafters look skeletal in the openings. While the first tower near the top of the stairs is empty, the one is further along the wall to the south is infested by a swarm of particularly large rats. Even a casual observation of the tower from afar reveals a dozen or so of the filthy creatures watching from nooks and crannies in the stones; their fur is matted and filthy, their eyes dark and hungry. As you approach within 15 feet of the tower, the rats begin reacting, chittering and squeaking ominously as more and more clamber into view.</blockquote>
