Ashnar nods as a sign that he is ready, and gets his scorching ray wand ready in case trouble manifests.

*Rinaldo makes a full search, with Vanitri helping out. He doesn't really notice anything very interesting. The tower mostly of granite blocks for support, though there is decorative marble in places as well. It is rather tall, rising into the mists, and does not appear to have any abnormalities nor alternate entrances. At one point, Rinaldo could swear he spots himself checking up on the tower over behind him, just as he had been doing a few minutes ago, but his eyes must have been playing tricks on him...or maybe not. They complete the circuit without finding much of consequence, but at least they were not attacked.*

OOC: Not Rinaldo, maybe someone would have asked him to find something.
After coming back to there starting place, right in front of the door, Rinaldo tells."Nothing unusual... except myself. I mean, I saw myself searching. It must be another of these time effects. I suggest, before entering that we inform ourselves on that Elpis. If the warning is not something to scared unwelcome guest (and if I had to write such flase warning, I would have written it in common), then we need that Elpis to end what strange things that is happening in there."

"I don't understand, Mister Rinaldo--are you saying the author of the story on the door wants you to bring the Elpis back to the box? Then why did it say 'Elpis, our Hope, be free?' then."

"Tell me if I am wrong, but you told: 'There once was a box that held all the dark children of the Night, until someone opened it, leaving only Hope inside. From this box, only Hope has escaped, but yet the box is not safe, and so some day, it will be opened again. To the unprepared, unseal not this door. Its binding is my final sacrifice. Elpis, our Hope, be free...'. If Elpis is our hope, and only hope have escaped from this box, it would mean Elpis would not be found inside. Now, if he tells 'Elpis, our hope, be free', it might mean Elpis is held somewhere else.
Also, the one who put this ward seemed to have done it to the cost of his life. His final sacrifice. We are in face of magic that no one of us have ever handled, that we can't understand all the twist of it. So once we break that seal, there would most likely be no known way to seal it again. It is a no turning back option. So, are we preppared to face all these 'dark children'. Just with what we met outside, I would not like to be pessimist, but some of us might let there skin inside."
Rinaldo takes a moment to think. Hogarth speaks come next to him and tells to the merchant. [SBLOCK=Terran]"This young girls seems pretty knowledgeable. If she thinks we can enter, it might be correct to enter."[/SBLOCK]
[SBLOCK=Terran]"I don't doubt her mind, but I don't turned my feeling, and there is something in me that tells me not to enter that tower, not yet."[/SBLOCK] replies Rinaldo.

"While I agree that we do not yet know that we will be able to face these 'dark children' alone, I believe that we must try. From the brief glimpse I saw of the magical weave in this area, we cannot let this tower disappear again. If it leaves, it might tear apart all magic. I do agree with you assessment that if we take this warning literally we will find these 'dark children' waiting to get out. We need to find a better way to contain them or strengthen the containment that guards them." replies Tenebrynn. Though he pauses a moment to listen to Vanitri's question to Laynie.
