Lets hope it's as useful as stylish.
Now, having been forced through the gate I find myself clad in some kind of special armor that looks a lot like the shield Niina gave me. I guess this is the enchantment she was talking about. The armor was a bit heavy but I could still move fairly well. Since it was enchanted I couldn't tell if the air around me was hot or cold. It looked damn hot though.
Wanting to get this damn thing over with I make a fast break for the big, spiky tower that was ahead of me. Many dead things lined the road, probably killed by the team the guards had sent in earlier. I didn't see any humans, so either they were eaten by some big demon thing or they were dead elsewhere. I have zero belief that they are alive.
Love what they've done with the place.
Once inside the scary tower I was attacked by things. They had two legs and arms and were blue. Or blueish. Or purple. The damn red tint from the fire pillar made it hard to tell. Other than that, they were fairly easy to dispatch given that I've dealt with worse in my time with the Brotherhood and the random dungeons I've crawled. Since the tower didn't go down at all, I figured that the best place to look for some kind of shut off key was to go up.
Queer eye it is not.
As I went up I found many humanish corpses. The guard's advance team, most likely. I had a hard time believing that a trained group of veteran Imperial guards would have such trouble with creatures that fell easily before my blade. I mean, even if my enchanted armor is hella strong and my blade can cut rocks, there's only one of me and many of the blueish creatures and their summons. I'm the one who should be having trouble, not the guards.
