Dave woke up, confused as well as paranoid from the darkness that surrounded him. It was then he remembered what happened last night. He then slowly calmed down, then started searching for the lantern he found last night. Before extinguishing it, he kept it close to him, so he found it pretty easily.

After liting the lantern up, he looked at the destroyed room where he spent the night, now it was filled with an unpleasant smell, probably because of all those dead bodies outside. He got up slowly, the pain in his leg has gotten worse. But he still endured it and limped his way out of the room.

This fine morning, the tower didn't seem as dark and eerie, as it was last night. But the smell of the rotting flesh in the tower had definitely gotten worse. Eventually, he had to wrap a cloth around his nose to lessen the burden of smell.

He started this morning by scavenging anything that could help him in his journey. He took some clothes, and candles, and found a pouch full of coins and many more useful things in the tower. After scavenging any useful stuff, he came to the armory. He didn't know how to use a bow and arrow or weapon that was there.

Yet still, he took the weapons that were in great condition. He figured he might be able to sell them later. Or he could try to use some of them. A bow and arrow is a good weapon and could help him eliminate his target from some distance. While he could throw spears at big monsters.

As far as armor was concerned, he didn't take it. All the armor had the insignia of Raven on them. And he didn't want to be associated with Ravenshade in any way to avoid suspicion.

After he had gathered anything and everything that could be remotely useful in his journey, he made a makeshift crutch for himself and started moving again. He felt bad for leaving the mutilated bodies of the soldiers just like that, but there was nothing that he could do for them. His leg was hurting like crazy, he was in no condition to bury those bodies. So he left as they were…

After making some distance from the tower, he stopped, sat down under the shade of a tree, and had some breakfast. He ate the beef jerky that he found yesterday. He actually wanted to eat the fish that he found, but as he didn't know how to start a fire, he had to use beef jerky for sustenance for now.

As he was eating his breakfast peacefully a number of blue color messages started popping up in front of him….
