Mountains abound on all sides, and any entrance further east becomes decidedly tougher. The tower itself seems to be in disrepair, but all signs also indicate recent occupants. The road continues to the west and the din of a river relentlessly punishing stone occasionally drifts from the south. More mountains stretch east, inhospitable as ever.

Grey Mountains Strange tracks on the ground lead to the north. You have descended a bit in elevation from when you were east of here, and you are now surrounded completely by mountains. From just to your west, you can hear screams. Or maybe it's just wolves howling. How can you be sure though? Malcolm, wielding an orkish shortbow, is here, riding a pack horse. A pack horse is standing here, ridden by Malcolm. The clouds begin to disappear. *> Malcolm dismounts from a pack horse, and stops riding him. A pack horse now follows Malcolm. *>e Grey Mountains Phew! You're finally there. Walking in the mountains, you can see all the lands around you. Far below you see the river, winding along from the eerie Misty Mountains in the far east to the safer parts of the world in the west. Next to the river you can see a small trail. A large eagle soars above you. ####### Here I turn back to say Hi to Malcolm. *>w Grey Mountains Strange tracks on the ground lead to the north.

Once this tower may have been a proud fortress of the kingdom of Rhudaur, holding at bay the evil armies of the north. In the recent past, however, the murals of glorious battles and the walls they are on have been desecrated. The furniture that once would comfort an ever-vigilant sentry must have recently seen crueler occupants. There are some narrow slit windows high above the floor, through which some grey shafts of light can fall during what passes for daylight in these grim mountainous wastes.
