First landing

Vethalia begins to rummage about her bag before fishing out an iron wrapped bottle with a wick before diggng though her bag some more.

"Ok, you all figure out the traps, I'm going up to the tower."

Talin quietly lifts off and flies up to the top of the tower. There, he peers into the window without unduly exposing himself to whatever is inside.

The barraks
Vethalia starts to take out 3 Molotov cocktails wrapped in chains

The tower
Talin is perched on a windowsill 4 meters from the ground. There are a few other open windows, but they only seem to emphasise the gloom of the tower.
There is a lot of debris on the ground, and there are still some shelves on the walls here and there. Other places, there are groups of darker, indistinct splotches, each the size of an apple. Here and there, wooden beams cross the tower interior that seem to have survived the upper floor collapse.

Talin alights gently on the sill and remains still, letting his eyes adjust to the darkness. He watches carefully to see if anything moves or makes a sound in the recesses of the rubble.

The tower

Guesclinbert follows Talin up to the top of the tower, a smile for Veth as he takes off and shoots into the air. "If we're lucky, it'll be something that will want to fight out critter for us," he whispers to Talin as he catches up.

Vethalia mves to set up in the long room attached to the barracks, she hands Terrok and Daedale a bomb each. "Aim for his head and hopefully the chains will do the rest."

Daedale gets close to the ground and touches nearby moss and vegetation communing with the flora around them.

The plants around us know a lot about what happens here

The walkers by the barracks
Daedale communes with the plants and is truly puzzled by his impressions.
They are winning against the taimers, they are wild and free. The taimers ordered rocks are slowly falling, and nature is prevailing. Nature's warrior is searching the taimers' ordered caves for thorns against the taimers. When the warrior eats, the flyers come and eat with the warrior.
What is left feeds the earth.The flyers at the tower

"Let's get down to the others and report. This makes things a little more complicated."

Talin quietly drops away from the window and glides down to the others.

Talin lands next to the group on the ground. He quietly informs them of what was seen.

"The tower is full of mosquitos the size of" He holds up a clenched fist, "a bit bigger than this. They seem to be staying out of the sun, but if they're aroused for food, maybe that won't be the case. I think they were agitated by the creature's roar and might come if they hear fighting."

It does look like it may be difficult and limiting fighting may be needed. I suppose leading it out of the ruins and into the open may be best in that instance. What if I do that, when I communed with the plants earlier I believe the plants were telling me these mosquitos work like scavengers to the creatures meals. But the creature is looking for something in the ruins potentially to our detriment, maybe if we lead it out now away from the mosquitos we will be more successful.

"I just had a thought. Your fire pot idea was great until I remembered that we need the head and that seems to be where it attracts metal. We need to damage the body mostly. I don't think we can risk the prize we're being paid to get. Maybe we should look through the ruins to see if we can find what it might be searching for and set our trap there?"

The words used was "Thorns". Maybe looking for metal...swords, spears and the like
