-I'm not forcing you to stay, except for this approaching storm. -Enhador took a bite of a dry, frozen piece of bread, then took a sip of cold water from his flask and put everything back in his bag. -I'll stay here for a few more days to figure out what's going on. I wish you a safe journey to Idaniko and I won't bother you anymore. -The wanderer headed to one of the rooms, where he lay down on the bed without taking off his outer clothes, placing his backpack under his head. -Wake me up when the storm is over, unless you decide to leave earlier. -The wizard yawned and soon fell asleep.
He woke up to someone calling his name. Outside, the storm was raging, and the snow was falling heavily. The little house seemed to be creaking at the seams.
-- I don't see very well, but I think this is exactly what I was talking about, -- said Donar.
- Good idea! - replied Regis and used the lever.
The door flew off its hinges. There wasn't much noise, but there was some. Inside was a corridor, with a long row of cells and many humanoids in them.
-- What's going on? What happened? -- they cried out from different corners.
-- It seems my friend isn't here, -- said the elf sadly.
-- But at least we have a chance to free the others! -- said the blond.

He woke up because someone called him by name. Outside, the storm was raging, and snow was falling heavily. The little house seemed to be creaking at the seams.

Enhador immediately got out of bed and walked over to Donar. -What are you talking about? - asked the wanderer. -I can't see anything. However... - the wizard tried to look more closely.

He saw a brown silhouette of a large animal, slowly moving along the riverbank.
"What could that be, I wonder?" The Wanderer tried to determine at least the approximate size of the animal, as well as whether it had legs/tail/trunk/ears/tentacles/anything distinctive, or at least try to figure out what it even looked like.

Teardrop-shaped, about the size of a bull. Due to the storm, it was impossible to make out any further details.

- Of course, we'll free them, but let them keep quiet! We've already made enough noise here, - the dwarf commanded, starting to pick the locks, - just tell them to stay quiet for now; it's not worth making a fuss until we've freed everyone. And let someone keep watch, just in case something unexpected happens!

The elf took up his post, and the others began to deal with the prisoners. There were dozens of them, although they couldn't fight. When everyone was freed, the Sylvan sensed something.
-- They're coming.

- What to do? What to do? What to do? - Regis repeated to himself, trying to find a way to escape.

It seemed that there were no more doors in the room, only an extremely narrow window in the stone wall, which offered an excellent view of the inner part of the city wall of Idaniko. The window was located almost at ground level.

- Can you use that trick again? - Without waiting for an answer, Victor turned towards the freed prisoners, - And you better arm yourselves with something, even if it's just chains with locks. Most likely, we will soon have a clash with the guards.

Can I climb through the window?
Regis walked over to the window and looked out at what was happening on the street.

Can I squeeze through the window?
No. Unless you brew a potion for rapid weight loss.

They weren't very enthusiastic about this suggestion; after all, they were just ordinary humanoids.
Sylv cast a spell on the ladder, and several guards tumbled down, hitting the table and passing out. But the rest had finally realized what was happening and jumped down, shouting curses at the fugitives. They were just a little further away from the door, in the doorway of which stood the earth mage.
Regis walked to the window and looked out to see what was happening outside.
It was generally a normal, rather dark northern morning. There was no one visible on the street within Regis's field of vision.

- Alright, guys, hold the door! - shouted the dwarf to the prisoners, - Mage, can you create a breach in the wall?

-Yes, you were right, Donar. -Enhador was monitoring the creature's movements. -It's a pity I didn't think to grab a couple of books from the library that study the local inhabitants. All we can do now is observe, and nothing more.

The guards rushed at the door, and the humanoids attacked from their side. It was very difficult for them; from the other side, they were hitting the door with maces, and once, the blade of an axe went through the wooden part of the door, seriously wounding a young man who was among those holding the door. Thus, time was gained, and the earth mage managed to gather enough strength to break the wall and open a path to the outside, to the icy city wall.
- Yes, you were right, Donar. - Enhador watched the creature's movements. - It's a pity that I didn't think to grab a couple of books from the library that study the local inhabitants. All we can do now is just observe, nothing more.
- Yeah, that's true. Although we could get closer, there is no guarantee that a tree will not fall on us, and we won't even be able to take two steps away from the house.
