The grey path you are on leads almost right up to a pale door that stands out against the darker colors of the dwelling wall. As you draw near, you notice that the path peters out unevenly before you actually attain the threshhold.

The door itself is stout, with a metal doorknob set in a metal lockplate with a keyhole. The door is also painted; this is noteworthy since there is no paint visible along the rest of this entire wall, not even by the windows on what looks to be the second floor. Certainly there is none on the tower.

Sniffing the moist air once more, you grasp the doorknob. It turns easily. You push the door open and step across the threshhold.
