The Tower stands tall, built of the best stone with a number of odd runes that only the local mages truly know how to read. Despite age the stones do not crumble, and stand ever vigilante as a watch station for the city.

mage
goblin
The goblin lives deep inside of caves far away from the sunlight. The goblin lives on deep cave algae and small critters and bugs that he can catch on the cave floor. The goblin avoids people as much as he can to stay alive.
Ooof, bright shiny rune, blinds Frellin's eyes, it does! I am Karest! The greatest mage of all! What have you found that is so special? Gaaargh!  A human!  Frellin has found nothing, loud pale one.  Frellin only wishes to be in peace, yes, yes! You have something in your hand. Show me! I will not take it from you, I just want to see Filthsome human! Tricksy as trolls! I do not use trickery! If you do not want to show me, fine! If it is bobbles you like I have one that you might like even more Frellin has no trinkets or boobles!  Frellin was only struck in the eye by that rune over there, stupid human.  Frellin is not so easily bought with shiny nublings. Here if it is not bobbles then here take this hymn book. It has many hymns to learn and you could sing with others and dance. Hm... it smells... of smokeses.  And funny plants.  Perhaps if Frellin takes a bite... faugh!  This is filthsome grubbery! It is not to eat! I told you it has hymns in it to read and then sing. I guess you can't read. What is this... reeeaaadings?  Frellin has heard of no such magic.  Is it tasty?  Does it bite? No there is no magic to it. I'm sorry I bothered to be friendly...
