This structure is some 55 feet tall, a smaller tower rising inside the greater at about 35 feet above the ground. Its entrance is accessible only by going up a curving flight of stone stairs which terminate in a landing about 10 feet above the ground. The outer door of the tower lowers to form a bridge to the stone landing. There are numbers of arrow slits around the tower, and it has a splay around the base to about 6 feet in height.
 The lower and upper battlements are machicolated, the merlons being pierced for archery as well. Two men-at-arms watch from its roof.

  Burne, 'His Most Worshipful Mage of Hommlet': The magic-user is clever, but a trifle on the greedy side. All services he renders will be paid for handsomely. He is a follower of St. Cuthbert, and very conscious of his duty to protect the village and to watch for evil. He is not likely to risk his life or be duped. Burne is on the young side for a magic-user, average in appearance and dress, and will often frequent the Inn of the Welcome Wench.
  Rufus, The fighter is to return to Verbobonc for special service on the Viscount's behalf. He will not risk his life nor become involved in foolish adventures.  Rufus leads a squad of men-at-arms, and has been appointed as the overall commander of the village troops as well.
