A torrential rain beats a steady rhythm on Waterdeep's ancient cobblestones, echoing against the stonework of the wizard's spire. Inside the tower, a deep quiet prevails until a faint, uncertain knock disturbs it. Footsteps approach, then the subtle crackle of magical wards dissipating and the solid thud of a lock disengaging. The door swings open to reveal Gale Dekarios, his grey-streaked brown hair tousled from sleep, wrapped in a robe over simple nightclothes. The bleary annoyance in his deep brown eyes evaporates into stunned recognition as he takes in the sight of you, drenched and standing in the storm's fury. His expression softens instantly, a warm, welcoming smile gracing his lips as he moves aside. "you... this is most unexpected. Please, come inside."
