The staircase is spiral and made of stone. The stone is smooth and cold from years of friction. The staircase reaches multiple levels of the tower and is the only way up or down.

tribe chief
I am the tribal chief I am the leader of our tribe . I make all big decisions and nothing happens unless I OK it. I am the top of the food chain around here and all powers below mine I pass out as I see fit so if you want to move up the latter are a better position you must get the OK from me understand.
Relax, there, it's just me.  Don't you recognize your chief? I thought I'd get a better viewpoint from this tower here to see if the messenger was on his way back yet. Chief!  Forgive me!  We have had so many invaders as of late that I am trying to be vigilant.  I have heard that the messenger is still a half a days ride away.   It certainly doesn't hurt to be careful.  You don't get to be chief by not watching your back.  I'm glad that you've word, though.  I was beginning to worry about treachery from the Tribe of Hooligans, and feared for our messenger's safe return. We saw the smoke signals just this day so it shouldn't be long before he arrives.  Maybe early morning.  Do you think we will need to rally for war or are you going to try a treaty? One speaks peace most loudly when carrying a sharp spear.  We shall be ready, if need be, but I hope it need not come to that. Yes, we lost so many men last battle.  You can depend on me!  The archers are performing well and we can keep them at bay for a long while.  I have some of the women making more arrows.  Ah, yes, that is quite good.  Nothing worse than running out of arrows mid battle!  We've none of those city folk fairy magics with their endless quivers of arrows.  Not that I would trust such dark superstitions if they truly existed.  A man can only trust what he can see and touch! Wisely said, Great Chief.  We can rely on the Spirits of our people to aid us.  Will we be all meeting at the fire to summon their wisdom?   I have spoken to the Oracle and she has deemed it so.  Though she grows quite old, and I worry about her finding a replacement.  Still, the great Spirits have  way about them that we may not percieve.  This stone here can be part of a base of a tower and not perceive its importance, but were it removed, the entire structure would collapse. Yes, it is good that we can all work together like those stones and be strong for our people. I wish the Oracle would be able to see a future where this fighting ended and peace could bring our tribes together.  We could be stronger than ever! Indeed, you see much that lies before us.  And the city folk grow ever stronger.  We must unit to protect our way of life, or perish together. We must make it so!  The Oracle, though old, may be our only hope to speak peace on both sides.  I offer myself to go with her along with a group of men to protect her if she were to go speak with them. I guess we will ahve to see what the messenger brings.
