You continue your retreat into the guard tower. Claire fires an arrow as she backs inside, missing completely. Charlotte, nude save for a blanket gripped in one hand and a dagger in the other, hurls the dagger and also misses completely. She also retreats inside. Pearl has a dagger in hand but doesn't throw it, just retreating into the guard tower. The serpent slithers forward, its jaws snapping shut again and again on air inches from your flesh as your party retreats.
You, Pearl, Claire, and Charlotte are in the bottom floor of the guard tower. There are bunks scattered around and a steep staircase going up to the second floor. There's a small
wood stove at the back that went unnoticed in the first search, which now has a merry fire going inside.
Claire's pack, Pearl's satchel, and all of Charlotte's gear is on the floor in front of the wood stove.
Everyone except Charlotte is covered in dried blood, and Pearl is also grimy with coal dust. The white serpent is outside the open, doorless doorway, advancing quickly.
