Before leaving, you inspect the deceased Watcher more closely. Slowly pulling back the cowl, you find its skin rotted away. Apparently, whatever forces are responsible for preserving the corpses outside the Spire have no power here. The skull you see is vaguely human, but there is something else to it. It seems deformed and green marrow shows through the bone's structure. Whatever the Watchers are, they are not human anymore.

Leaving the Watcher's skeleton you step out onto a small balcony. This is the highest point in the city, giving you a good overview of the fog covered city beneath.

Straight ahead, you see the Gatehouse you are trying to reach. In order to get there, you will need to pass very close to thick, dark fog. To the left of the gate, slightly closer, you see the great tree, which from your current vantage point, clearly has a series of platforms and small buildings built into it.

As you are about to depart, you catch a glimpse of something moving outside the city walls. The Deepwood trees are shaking. Looking closer, you realize it is the horde of monsters that attacked when you arrived. They are moving around the city toward the gate you have been trying to reach, and they appear to be giving this forsaken city a wide berth as they do so. If they reach the other side of the city first, you will be cut off. You have to get to the gate soon. As fast as you can you mobilize and head back into the city.

Choose One: If you have Clue Token 1 choose the top option. Otherwise, choose one of the other two options.
