Stay the course." - We get to the end of the maze, and from below, we see the maze has disappeared. We see a solid wall appear behind us. - From above, there is no difference. - Below, there is a stone door in a cliff wall - There is writing in [[Celestial (Language)]] - In summer I am absent, - in winter I am present, - Yet I am never seen in snow. - I rest in shadow, vanish in light, - What am I, to guard this door so? - I cast frostbite. - I gain knowledge: in that it doesn't do with temperature… it has to do something with time - It's "darkness" - The door opens into perpetual darkness - The frost giant comes back, asks if we are ready to face our destiny - All have to do con saves except Estel and Isilvir - Looks deeper at Tyrren than everyone else - Snowcat and Nix take one point of exhaustion - We have found the eastern door way. It is all darkness. - And then lights pop up… purple colour - We see the silhouette of a city in front of us, with eight towers in total and a central spire - Tyrren gets an aura of undead as though permeating the stones - We are between two towers, Tower of Enchantment and Tower of Illusion - It's the schools of magic? - Estel exposition! - Wizard statue, whispers - I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind. What am I? - Echo… - Wizard statue now spews gold coins as a fountain - We're in a courtyard, still a ways away from the big tower - Looking for transmutation tower - Transform from mere mortals » mortality to immortality - Vellathria was working on a spell to transcend mortality… but experimenting. - Transmutation specialist - Rival mage - Wanted to usurp the seat of the arch wizard - Tyrren explains he was hired by Estel but also sent by the Zhentarim to get the mantle - He realizes he doesn't want the mantle to fall into wrong hands - Someone had approached the Zhentarim, and wanted the mantle - Vellathria was overheard in a magical zoom call, and wants the mantle for herself - Toothless Pete was sent by Despentario, who wants the mantle - While talking, Estel has led them to the Tower of Transmutation - There's no door. It just appears open - We are standing at the base of the tower. There's a small hole in the wall from the second floor.
