Ah, there it was! It wouldn't hurt to be polite now that he was going to meet the actual leader of this place. It was quite interesting to see the actual laborers behind all the smoke and mirrors at least. The undead... such a hassle really. Unchanging, eternal, lifeless in every sense of the word. Only someone who really, really desired control would bother with them. It meant you could manage everything you wanted and be certain that it would remain that way. Oh well, he wasn't here to judge.
His shadow swallowed him up, and soon he bubbled up right before the entrance to the tower. "Hello? Is anyone home?"

The ghouls at the entrance were, for all their other flaws, evidently quite strong and well-preserved. They were chained to the metal of the gates, and based on the scuff marks on the stone they had the task of dragging the heavy door open for those welcome here. At first Joseph received no answer, and all was silent save for the shuffling of laborers.
Then one of the corpses at the door looked upon him with a flicker of malevolent intellect, witnessing him. Soon after a plume of shadows emerged from under the minuscule cracks beneath the door, and took on a shape. A hunched over figure supporting itself with a wooden staff, wrapped in thick black robes with long pointed ears coming out through little slits in the sides.
Empty white eyes stared at Joseph from under that hood, and a faintly echoing rasp greeted him. "I do not believe her majesty is expecting any guests."

He clapped his hands together with a grin on his face. "Well, I'd hope not. It was supposed to be a bit of a surprise for the both of us. You wouldn't so happen to be polite enough to let me in, would you? I've already been gnawed on a bit by that bit of spellcraft that forms the outer layer of this place. It's pretty impressive, but somehow I doubt it was also your leader's magic. It's quite... distinct. Although I would be pretty impressed if it was!"

A rasp escaped the undead greeter's throat. "Unfortunately, the inner sanctum is off limits to any who are not part of her majesty's Order of Storms. Or duly invited guests."
He tapped the metal of the door with the end of his staff. "If you would wait, I shall inquire with her if she desires to grant you an audience - though it would be from afar."
Umbra of Chaos:
Joseph
"Sure, sure. If that makes it more convenient. It wouldn't be fun to wander around by myself anyways." So he plopped himself down onto the ground, patiently waiting with a serene smile back onto his face. That Italian food was pretty good. Maybe he'd head back after this.
