MISSION PROMPT

LIONEL: Damn that Roland!  Though we took the castle, we were unable to take and hold the innermost keep.  He has some variety of Tower there, which ravages our troops with lightning whenever we assault it.  Each time it strikes, I feel a sharp pain jolting through my arm.  We cannot continue to attack.

A mage has defected from Enroth’s court.  He is sympathetic to our cause.  He offered to shield our retreat by causing an early winter.

He told me in confidence that he cannot break the magic of the Tower, but he will not be entirely useless.

We must retreat, into the ocean if necessary.
