Down With Air

Sanria stood in the snow, now cursing her lack of intelligence. She was to her knees in snow, rather far from the tower. With her distinct lack of undergarments, and only a thick cloak above her robe, she found she was at a bit of a disadvantage with the perpetual winter. Quickly she took stock of the area. Her invisibility spell continued holding, and judging from the wandering minotaur guards that crossed near her path, they didn't have the ability to see through it. The trouble, she figured, would be the invisible woman making tracks in the snow.

She waited until the guards were well on their way before she began to chant in a harsh whisper. Soon enough her legs, rapidly chilling in the air, rose above the snow. Her teeth chattered and slowly she floated forward, only feet above the snow covered ground. The grounds around the tower were massive and seemed to be crawling with hulking minotaur guards. Each had a giant gold ring in his snout, and unlike the band that hunted them earlier, these Minotaurs were staggeringly huge. Sanria was almost there. Deftly, from her pack, she pulled a bottle of pass-door, hoping to conceal it quickly within the invisibility spell. She slowly, chatteringly, eased past the outer guard. Even on the inside of the foreboding tower, guards were posted at the door. She had managed to float just past them, when a sound erupted from her cleavage, "Sanria, Are you there?"

All she could mutter as she dropped the noisy crystal to the floor was "Crap." Her concentration dropped for a split second, her body became visible, and all bets were off as the nearest guard gripped her robes in his hand. She was yanked from the air like a rag doll, and hit the ground with such a force that the air left her in a torrent.

This did not bode well at all.
