Altus hung back a bit as Tassira investigated. The cleric was curious too. What traveler wasn't intrigued by old ruins? But it seemed a little odd this tower sat inside this small community. Was it someone's property? Was it dangerous?
Tassira crouches next to the tower, admiring the symbols etched along its brickwork. She runs a fingertip along several of them, pausing at what looks like a seven-pointed star.
Her gaze is focused entirely on that symbol. From my dreams, to here...
She blinks and looks at her hand. For a moment, she could swear that the seven-pointed star was on the back of her hand...
She shakes her head and stands up, turning to the rest of the group. "I wonder how long this has stood here..."
Jerrica looks at the tower. "Perhaps longer than any quah. Let's head back before it gets too dark."
Jerrica's comment brings it to the attention of all that with the journey to the tower and the admiration of it the sun will be going down soon... You might make it back to the temple before the Consecration if you hurry...
Tassira looks up, at once satisfied and a little disappointed.
"Thanks for indulging me on this." She says as she hurries off to the Concescration.
"Of course," Jerrica says with a smile.
Tassira blushes and looks at her feet. "I... well, I didn't think anyone else was interested..."
"It's important to you and that's what counts," Jerrica says, taking Tassira's hand and heading back to the cathedral. "Besides, you can tell me what's so interesting about it over dinner. It'll be a good conversation."

Altus took another look at the tower before heading off with the others. It was clear that Tassira saw something special about it. Perhaps it could be investigated more clearly later. But now, it was time to focus on the consecration.
Raef cocks his head to one side as looks up at the old tower. To his untrained eye, there wasn't much difference between it and the cathedral, apart from its age.
"I wonder what such an old pile of stones is doing in the middle of town," he remarks to no one in particular as they head off back towards the cathedral.
as you all approach the stage in the waning light of day, Father Ablastar throws a thunderstone to cause a cacaphonous roar and draw the attention of the town...
Jerrica stands away from the crowd, but close enough to see what's going on.
Tassira stands next to Jerrica, the thunderstone's blast fully catching her attention.
Raef winces at the sound of thunderstone.
"Yeesh," he says as sticks a pinky finger in one of his ringing ears. "Couldn't they have just blown that horn again?"
"There are quite a few people here, Raef," Jerrica says. "I don't think the horn would have been enough this time."
We can come back here later, Let go back and see what other festivities are going on
Eleazar had back with the rest of the group and hears the deafening roar of the thunderstone.
I am guessing the Father has something important to announce.
Eleazar Stand about 10 feet ahead of Jerrica.
Altus stood beside Eleazar as he tried to get a better view of the ceremony.
Raef stands next to Jerrica, opposite from Tassira.
Tassira nervously shifts from foot to foot. "What does he want to say? Oh, the wait is driving me crazy..."
Not exactly behaviour Irori approves of, but...
"Easy, any moment now."
