Passing through the now much thinner miasma, Eldrian killed off the few remaining lower undead via {Thora}. As he did, he realized how lacking his spell repertoire was. Still using a Tier 1 spell despite being Tier 5. But it was easy to use and still effective, so he saw little reason not to. Besides, it cost was basically nothing. Each cast taking him less than five seconds to recover the mana used.
Once he and Theas passed through the gate, they turned their attention to the keep, covered in a much thicker miasma, visible even to the naked eye. And to mana sense, Eldrian felt positive he could see some sort of chains within the miasma. Mentioning this to Theas, the dwarf sighed.
"It is as I thought..." He took out that strange monocle of his again observed the keep and its miasma for a moment. "If the ritual is complete, we will have to fall back. A draugr isn't something we can handle with so little preparation."
