Waiting around

Leonard was fine, he was sitting at a table in the tent where they left him.

"How did it go?"

"It was a success! Most of them died, but there were cloacked figures at the door, they got away."

"Cloacked figures?"

"They seemed like magicians, they were trying to open the door."

"I see."

He stood up.

"So did you go inside of the tower."

They shook their head.

"We ned to get out, before the guards attacked us, but we'll get in later when they returned to their posts."

"Alright. Until then, could you help me bury everyone?"

"Ofcourse."

They took the personal stuff off from the bodies, so they can prove their death, and then dig holes in the ground. They burried them and made wooden signs, with their names on it.

Joseph and Catherine checked on the tower, but it seemed like the two robots were still at the stairs guarding it.

"Seems like they changed their job?"

"I don't know. They are very weird. Why are they not going back where they were?"

Joseph shrugged.

They returned to the camp and started to pack up. They only left the necessary tents and stuffs up. They didn't want all the items get damaged while they weren't used.

Catherine started making golems for the carts. Joseph watched her closely, so he could also learn the methode.

It was very tiring. For a week she was making them. First she made the sahpes for the golems from stone, then made the joints and other smaller parts and made a rune network on them, to make them move. Finally she put a mana crystal on them and filled it with mana.

"Won't they change into monsters with that?"

"No. They aren't capable of making mana for themselves, also they don't have brains. Basically they are just puppets. If we want one, which can think, that would take a few months. Also I don't know how to make those."

"I see."

Everyday that passed meanwhile Joseph looked at the tower, but it was still closed and guarded.

They decided that they will try to sneak in, but if it seems too hard, they are just going to stay here for a while and send a pigeon to Roland.
