Having cleared the courtyard of defenders, the group entered the tower. They quickly moved through the rooms until they found a closed chamber in the back had sounds of snoring beyond the door. After a quick hushed discussion, they decided on the prudent course of action - Doyle slipped the door open and starting slitting throats. Ash decided to help, but his first victim woke before expiring and screamed, alerting the rest of the room. A chaotic melee followed.
After clearing the room and searching the bodies, Kyezra grabbed one of the blue-flaming torches. As she carried it out past the fountain, the water elemental took exception and stuck her torch down, then went after her. Though it had surprise on its side, it didn't last long as the group beat it down.
Deciding it worked well the last time, Doyle slipped open the next door to see one of the bunk beds had been pushed across the doorway and loaded with crates and obstacles. The tenants of the room had readied crossbows leveled at the door, and let fly with good effect. Doyle shut the door and stumbled out of the way.
Ash reopened the door and started smashing crates out of the way while Kyezra and Nadya moved to the other door to press the flank. With two fronts to defend, the guards fell quickly.
