Cortia's eyes showed betrayl for the briefest moment, before the collar took hold again. The brilliant blue glazed over again, the colour being diluted some towards a milky white. The priestess nodded her head to Lea, obeying her wish.<b>"I understand mistress."</b>The collars direct effects may wane when they leave the tower, but the orders would remain, Cortia wasn't going to be trying to remove the collar.<br/><br/>The Cleric gathered her things and followed Lea's lead, heading back down the tower. At the base of the tower, where the entered via trap door from the dungeon, now had a simple wooden the door. The door certainly was not there when they were last in the room, another display of the Sage's might within the tower itself. Opening the door the group would find themselves back on the outskirts of the city, at the base of the ancient stone tower.<br/><br/>It was early evening, dusk starting to fall behind the city scape before them, silhouetting many of the larger buildings. Chief among which was the royal palace, where the royal family resided. It sat on the opposite side of the city from the group, sitting upon the great plateau, sheer on three sides and a road carved from the fourth, leading to the gates. The city formed in rings around the city, predominantly on the eastern facing side, where the crown road leads out.<br/><br/>Cortia, still carrying her armour and weapons, looked upon the sight and gave a sigh of relief.<b>"Praise Pelor for this glorious sunset."</b>The priestess muttered to herself, grasping her holy symbol once more with her left hand. She seemed to be mostly back to normal, though gave no rebuke to Lea for her actions, the Collar preventing such things. She turned to the party and smiled.<b>"So, do we wish to see the Queen this evening, or should we retire and seek her in the morning? I can get us free rooms at the temple, should we want to avoid the ruckus of a tavern."</b>
