A Š narrow torchlit passage lies beyond this door and Š together you follow it until you arrive at a domed Š alcove. Here Oriah touches the head of a marble Š statue and the alcove swivels open to reveal a Š balcony encircling a large hall. Peering over the Š parapet you see that it is the main entrance hall to Š Sesketera's citadel. Its polished stone floor lies Š some twenty feet below the balcony, and its doors are Š guarded by two impressive warriors. They are attired Š in gold armour which glimmers in the weak rays of Š sunlight that are now filtering into the hall through Š its stained glass roof. + + "Wait a few moments," whispers Oriah, "they are the Š night guards. Dawn is breaking and soon their watch Š will be over. There is always a lapse before the Š morning guards come on duty. The doors will then be Š unmanned and you will be able to escape from the Š citadel without being seen." + + Minutes later, just as she predicted, the warriors Š march away and leave the doors to the citadel Š unguarded. Oriah wishes you good luck, but as she Š leans forward to kiss you fondly on the cheek, a Š stern voice suddenly shatters the silence of the Š hall. + + "Oriah! What deceit is this!" + + You spin around and see a tall, broad-shouldered man Š clad in a high-necked robe of purple silk. He has Š emerged from an archway and he is standing near the Š parapet rail at the far side of the balcony. + + "Sesketera..." gasps Oriah. She snatches her hands to Š her mouth and then she swoons and faints. You catch Š her as she falls and you lay her carefully down upon Š the floor. Sesketera shouts for his guards until he Š notices that the hall below is empty. He curses their Š absence, then he begins to move around the balcony Š towards you. He is unarmed - but not for long. He Š grabs a ceremonial halberd from a stand of armour and Š quickens his pace. As he levels this deadly polearm Š at your chest you see that his eyes are filled with a Š blind, jealous rage. + + + If you have ever visited the city of Bisutan in a Š previous Lone Wolf New Order adventure, turn to â322â + + If you have not, turn to â43â
