I strive each day to live up to the standards Bahamut sets for me – to battle against evil, to prevail, and to help others do the same.”“Then truly we two are well met,” smiled Thunder. “I follow Kord, God of Strength in battle and, if I recall, long-time ally of Bahamut. I pledge my shield with yours – together we shall work to drive evil from the land!”“If I may,” interrupted Karl. “My Lord Aengus, we must keep moving. Outside, the Knights of Glorium are still surely engaged with their foes. Time is of the essence.”Swiftly now, the group continued to round the edge of the tower, jumping across gaps in the stonework. A second large platform gave them a second to pause and gather themselves, and to see ahead.The whispers had started again. Murmurs of “Auslander”, “Wyrm”, “Kindraeder” and “Einherjar” echoed down from the walls.In the far corner of the tower, a faint light glowed. The largest platform seen yet stood there, and in it’s centre a magical light illuminated the surrounding stone. Straining his eyes, Iben reported that it appeared to be some sort of mechanical construction that stood on the platform, an intricate web of metal extending upwards. Sigurd offered that it must be the key to the tower – the location they were searching for within the grim stonework.Between them and this construction was a larger gap. Karl, again, volunteered to be first to take the jump, with Thunder again acting as a counterweight should he fail to make it. With the ropes tied, Karl took a short run-up and launched himself into space, arms reaching out.As he landed, he had but a short second to brace himself as three of the creatures sprang out of the darkness, crashed into him and sent him back over the edge and out of sight with a sharp yelp as he dropped. More creatures poured down the walls and up over the edge of the platform, screeching their rage at the interlopers.A moment later, the rope around Thunder’s waist went slack.Next time: The fate of Karl!</blockquote>
