Roan saw the dungeon of the citadel and saw the chaos in the citadel buildings. He saw gargoyles perching on the top of the buildings and Roan was not in the mood to stir up trouble.
The gargoyles were bickering and fighting over a dead carcass and they pulled it apart. Eating it off in the process. They soon dived and ate the dead on the top of the buildings. Roan can also see some flesh dropping from above from where he stood.
The citadel became a monster den and Roan was not surprised. A seed of evil was planted nearby and it spawns monsters that came from Hell.
A seed of evil was like a portal or gateway for Hell to enter the plains. As the world's core was Hell itself.
Roan then went to the dungeon nearby and as planned, will see what fate he would get there. Whether there were survivors was a question he wanted to know himself. He immediately sneaked to evade the gargoyles that were flying above.
