You all leave your horses behind and climb up the spiral staircase to the top of the tower.
On the door leading to the top of the tower is a plaque with the words 'Tower of Noisiv - Without Vision the people cast off restraint.(Proverbs 29:18.)'. You open the door and go out to a platform at the top.
When you all reach the top you all gasp and are lost for words. The view is breath-taking! To the west you see the mountains of Worros you have come from and the River of Life flowing straight through the fortress out the other side, flowing eastward. To the east is an amazing sight. All of your gazes are fixed on the horizon to the east.
The River of Life flows through a plain after a hilly initial patch. On the plain your naked eye can make out what can only be many, many dragon-like creatures. The River of Life flows through unpurturbed until just before it reaches a vast expanse of ocean. This must be the Sea of Humanity. This is where you are bound! But the amazing thing is that just before it reaches the sea, the River of Life swerves suddenly upwards and flows into the heavens, not even touching the sea at all.
Your hearts grieve because you know that the Sea of Humanity remains dead and lifeless unless the River of Life flows into it! You know that the key to your being reunited with your family and released into His destiny for your life lies in defeating the force that hinders the River from flowing into the Sea. What lies behind the wall the river forms as it ascends into the heavens?
Suddenly Ediug appears on the tower top...
..saying, "Well Sojourners, that is where you are to go! That is the plain of Oggidem which the warriors of Ssorc must cross to face Nogard and Tsirhc Itna who Emmanuel has allowed to deflect the River of Life for now. Your mission is, as a team, to scout ahead of the main army and clear the way through the hills before the plain of Ogiddem. Then all the army will join you at the entrance to the plain to battle Nogard's forces as one. On reaching the point where the River of Life ascends into heaven we will all face Nogard himself and his slave Tsirch Itna. You already have the Word of Testimony Plaque, but you must also find the Doolb somewhere in this fortress first or you will be doomed."
Then the bear disappears and you are all left to ponder what has been said.
All four of you silently decend the staircase until you come to the entrance where your faithful steeds are waiting pateintly. There is a computer screen at the entrance like the other ones. What will you do?
- Press one of the buttons on the computer screen....
Click on the button you want or the name...
- Go back out of the fortress the way you came.
- Choose one of the winding roads.
