[EXPEDITION] The Beaver City of Idaniko.

"Whew... it's so cold. I'm not even used to this kind of weather, no, I'm really not."

Enhador surveyed the entire plain from the heights, but he couldn't find anything interesting, except for a small hut. Then, the wanderer tried to find a place with the thickest layer of frozen water, after which he carefully began to cross to the other side of the plain, just in case, checking the ice in front of him with his staff. "It would be funny to fall through the ice and drown, being a water mage." After a while, he succeeded. There were a couple of dangerous moments when the ice broke right under Enhador's feet and floated downstream. Sometimes the wanderer managed to create a small ice bridge. As a result, he found himself relatively close to the hut, which was located on a slope. Now it was clear that it was very small and probably served as an inn or something similar. A little further from the hut, a small path led downwards.

"Lock those guys," Victor nodded towards the guards, "in a cell and shut their mouths. You can even put them in chains. And we'll release the other prisoners for now."

The guards were successfully locked in shackles.
When the four of them went upstairs, they first saw a wooden door, and after opening it, a small corridor. In the corridor, there were three doors besides their own; all of them were somewhat more solid in construction. One had an iron lock and iron inserts. The second was a solid wooden door. The third was made of some kind of black stone. There were also stairs leading up, and sounds were coming from there. Apparently, someone was upstairs, and possibly there were many of them. The thumping was quite loud.
