The tower base has a path of cobblestone leading to the entrance. Two torches are lit with large blazing fires. Most of the tower base is covered in moss.

I've been walking for days. The sun is bright and hot while the nights are dark and cold. Our young is getting sick while our old are getting weary of finding a safe place to arrive to. We have heard rumors that there is a camp one day north. I can only pray we hold on for that long.
Yes, I can see how someone like me could get lost here. Is it true that there is a camp to the north? I know nothing of a camp, but there is a large cave. Do you need a place to stay? Yes, my people and I have been walking for days. The children have been getting ill. We need a safe place to make our home. I'm not sure how safe the cave is. There are many of my kind in it, and a lot of our droppings. Probably not a good place for a child. Yes, you are right. We will have to continue on and hope that the camp is there like the rumors say. I can fly ahead and see if there is. I fly rather quickly, and you can rest here at the tower. It's dark, but you can rest in the moss. It's at least soft. Thank you. I truly appreciate you helping us. By the way, how can you talk? Or is the weariness finally settling in? It's a long, sad story. I crossed the witch and she turned me into a bat. I used to be a man, like you, and I retained my voice. Oh my, is there any way to change you back? Sadly, no. Her kind sister tried. It appears I am stuck like this forever. Say- where is that camp supposed to be? That is too bad. The camp is said to be a day's walk or so to the north. Okay, so it should take me a little bit. Rest here and I will be back as quickly as I can!
