The more the dwarf talks, the deeper Maria's brow furrows... until finally, she just pushes past the dwarf and takes the stairs two-at-a-time up to the top floor of the watch tower. The mercenaries had mentioned something about demons, and she'd dismissed it as an idiot's babbling; but if the mercenaries were killing clerics to bring out reinforcements from the Abyss, then things could get very, very difficult for her in the coming days. And she really would have to break her promise to keep Lissu close in the near future...<br/><br/>She's fairly steeled for what she'll find once she reaches the top floor, but the wanderer can't help but to slow down as she steps off the stairs and into the main room. She knows that she's not going to like what she finds, but she needs to know what she's looking out for<em>before</em>she moves off to look for that faerie glade again...
