	The smooth surface of the tower wall proves to be a 
Š	minor obstruction to someone of your ability and you 
Š	ascend effortlessly, like a spider, towards the 
Š	second storey window. On reaching the window you pull 
Š	yourself through the open frame and drop down onto 
Š	the steps of a stone stairway beyond. This circular 
Š	staircase leads to the top of the tower which 
Š	commands a magnificent view of the city. Aided by 
Š	your night vision, you are able to locate stables 
Š	less than a mile to the north of the tower. You 
Š	commit their location to memory and then hurriedly 
Š	you descend the stairs and return to the window. Once 
Š	more you use your climbing skills, this time to make 
Š	a speedy descent to the street below. 

	Prince Karvas is delighted to hear that there are 
Š	stables in the city, and he insists that you set off 
Š	for them at once. He is leading the way out of the 
Š	warehouse ruins when suddenly the tower bell begins 
Š	to toll once more. Moments later, the temple doors 
Š	swing open and the procession of black-clad figures 
Š	file out into the street. Instinctively you take hold 
Š	of Karvas by the arm and pull him back into the ruins 
Š	to avoid being seen by the emerging soldiers. As they 
Š	pass by, you peer around the edge of the mouldering 
Š	warehouse doorway to watch them. A strange feeling of 
Š	unease makes the skin on the back of your neck 
Š	prickle, and immediately you sense that all is not 
Š	what it seems. When you magnify your vision to take a 
Š	closer look at the passing figures, you gasp with 
	shock at what you see.
