Soundtrack change (up to 1.43).As the team moves closer to the spire in the centre of the city, they find that their headaches, which simply would not abate despite their increased distance from the portal, begin to recede a little. Once they are no more than a few dozen feet from the spire, they vanish completely, replaced by a strange humming noise that seems to be coming from everywhere and nowhere in particular.
The spire itself is impossibly tall, rising at least two hundred feet into the air. Its base is covered in scaffolding, and heavy cannon and armour plates are being added to it by a horde of workers, both fiendish and human, with supervision from several winged kobolds, who use the scaffolding as landing places at best. Even though the scaffolding reaches an impressive height, it is only perhaps halfway up the spire, which reaches into the sky like a needle. It doesn't seem to have any doors or windows, being just a solid pillar of some unusual material, bluey-grey in colour and completely smooth on the outside.
As the party observe the obelisk-like structure, they cannot help but feel in awe of it, towering over everything around it, and themselves too, and even the crude attempts to 'improve' it by the hordes of workers at its base do not seem to cut into its majesty at all.
No sooner than they are done admiring the beauty of this incredibly old structure that a devil rushes over to them, holding a stack of papers and sweating profusely. His voice is squeaky and unpleasant, and the amount of sweat that the rather short devil is shedding is causing his clothes to appear soaked and his hair to be truly disgusting. When he speaks, everything appears to tumble out in one long stream of words, making hardly any attempt to separate them.
