Leading the charge the Seeker and Rikku rush across the plaza. Followed by
the rest of the rump Fellowship they make it over half way before they are
spotted by an iron guard, who turns, clicks, and raises a whistle to his
mouth. The piercing shriek echoes throughout the courtyard, and the sound
of many feet echoes. Two guards stand by the door of the chamber, but they
are felled quickly - one by Kalen firing a pistol and the other by Rikku
who directs runs of water into the second, who sizzles, lets off steam and
then falls.

"How did you know to do that?", asks Jareena as they storm inside the
double-doors.

"I can see that they have fire runes within them", replies Rikku. "After
that it was all Godlearner education".

The rump Fellowship shut the great tower gates behind them. In side the
tall and thin castle they notice a short corridor leading to a central
stairwell, and a door on either side of the corridor. Iron-clad footsteps
can be heard in all directions.

[Summary of rolls: Iron Guard's perception check marginal failure,
augmented due to number of perceivers, runner's reduced by quantity;
Kalen's pistol shot minor victory and Rikku's Water Sight, major victory,
augmented due to number of attackers, reduced due to iron guard's armour]
