   "Is that the only reason?" leered Gagaric, his oversized canines flashing.
   
   He followed as they progressed to the tower, but not before pulling a bottle out of his pack.
   
   He took a swing of the potent brew and felt it go to work on his wounds.

   The farmers are now rushing out of the house to check on the condition of the young boy. A young woman grabs the child from Elrim and tries to wake him. "Jonathan? Jonathan! It's OK, Mommy is here, it's going to be OK. Jonathan, can you hear me? Please, wake up.." She looks up at Elrim, she looks him straight in the eyes, her own filling with tears. "Is he going to be OK?"
   
   The previously described male farmer is walking towards Alejandro. "Oy! Wait up there now! What business do you have with these creatures? You come in and almost slay the lot of them, like no one else has been able to do, and then you sit down and chat with one of them! Just whose side are you on?"
   
   There is a third farmer, a young man, standing near the fallen bodies of the red creatures. He hesitantly prods one with his foot, as if not sure it is really dead.
   
   The tower sits upon a high hill on the other side of the town. It seems to sparkle and shimmer, as if not quite there. Is it an illusion? Or just an exceptionally dazzling construction? It certainly must be magical, at any rate.

   Elrimm nodded solemnly at the woman, the hint of a reassuring smile tugging at the edges of his mouth. Without another word, he turned around, his face again set in stone.
   
   Gazing, he looks toward the tower, noticing its strange appearance. He waved a hand at Alejandro and pointed with a nod at the strange construction, indicating his thoughts on its importance.

   The farmer, Alejandro calmed:
   "Well, some of them were not to be convinced, but this one listened to reason, and agreed to be our vanguard and help save those already abducted. You don't mind this, friend? I took the liberty of deciding on a course of action, as you were... unavailable. A drink to our victory, perchance? I hear you folks have excellent palinka."
   
   "The boy will be alright, pretty soon I guess" the scholar said as he slapped his face lightly. "See? He blinked."
   
   Then, he went off to discuss with Elrimm.
   
   Erica just stood next to the farmer, savoring the delightful feeling after a good fight. "You speak one unpleasant word to the bookworm, and I punch you. Hard."
   
   The tower gleamed, half ethereal. "I think it is a construct of magic, and a conduit to a rather unpleasant realm. It must be explored, used to retrieve the peasants and artifacts of interest, then sealed from this side."

   Gagaric grinned again, his ears catching the conversation between Erica and the farmer.  He did love her style.
   
   Gagaric retrieved his discarded equipment, and mounted back up on his horse, pulling up to Alejandro.

   The farmer looked shocked at Erica's threat of violence, and slowly regained himself.
   
   "Hold on now," He said. running up to Alejandro once more, "You're going to get those red things away for good? We would mightily appreciate it, and be more than willing to show our thanks for the arrival of some new heroes. You ought to stop by the cluster of buildings down there," He points to the region in front of the tower, "The Mayor of Halea's Reach will surely thank you properly and might even throw a big celebration and all that. I'm heading down there now, I'll let him know what happened here." With that he began his trip into town.
   
   Grendo was looking around at the others. Elrim helping the unconscious boy, Alejandro talking to the beast, and how Erica and Gagaric dispatched the monsters so swiftly. He cleared his throat, "Uh, friends? I think I will be leaving now. It's really not my place to be here, I'm just a simple message runner. I'm no hero. I'm not cut out for this monster slaying business. So... Does anyone have a message they want relayed before I go?"

   "I guess you never ran messages in the tunnels below Deepmir - but if monsters are not to your taste: don't."
   
   Having missed Erika's exchange with the farmer, he just turned to his comrades: "This offer of highland hospitality strikes me as opportune. Shall we? We may learn more of the tower!"

   Gagaric took a double take.
   
   "Didn't you just say you bought time? I think a side trip will kill those victims you promised to save.
   Though, if that's what you want to do, I can always use another drink," Gagaric shrugged.

   "The temptation - to save lives or socialize, a dire conundrum!"
   Alejandro began to ponder.
   Erica slapped him.
   Alejandro ceased pondering.
   
   "I think the life-saving might be the right course, yes?"
   
   To the farmer, he hollered:
   "Research all that is possible about the tower, and come back to tell! We will be investigating it."
   
   He gave the phantom steed a light nudge, and rode towards the shimmering spire.

    The farmer turned arouns at being told to do research, "Research the tower? Ain't much to research in town, you'd have to go in it for that. I hear Calahir and Albie, Belrath's old adventuring friends, tried just that not too long ago. You might meet them in there, I suppose. I wouldn't want to be in there when it vanishes though, there's no telling where it is that it goes."
    
    The farmer shrugged and looked to see if more was needed of him.
