Dumb
Things did not seem to change considerably as they walked, however, soon they learned, that now all plazas were as degraded as the ones they had been to last...
As they reached the plaza with the obelisk, the sky was still dull and grey, with formless shadows of people walking of aimlessly into all directions...
The most disturbing thing about the plaza, was the obelisk itself though, where before they only felt watched by the accursed thing, it was now like a formless spire of shadows, covered over and over with red glowing depiction of simplified, eyes, each and every one staring at them, following their every step...
However, there were no new clues here...
The next plaza was downright depressing, the man atop the pillar, seemed to be waning, his eyes sunk in and his body seemingly about to collapse under the weight of his own thoughts, his muscles limp and worn down, like those of an old man...
No clues here either.
As they reached the last plaza, the sky was still dull and grey, the edges of the black bipyramid glowing in a bright purple for no apparent reasons, it´s mere presence seemingly attracting to attention of some unknown god, indicated by a suppressing feeling...
...and yet no clues.

As they closed in on the center, the sky darkened further the atmosphere felt so thick as if it wanted to suck out their very last breath as they walked...
...and then they reached the center, everything around them was just silhouettes and outlines now, a shadow of the former embassy, In the center of the plaza stood only two things, there was a small black pedestal, about the height of a humans hips, it´s sides slightyl angled outwards towards the bottom, atop the pedestal a thin red glowing line rose to the sky and an ominous... presence seemed to emanate from it...
Besides the pedestal however, stood something that was arguably even more interesting, there was young man, possibly somewhere between 20 and 30 of indescript race, humanoid with pointy ears and silver hair, wearing white clothes with red ornaments, looking almost like some sort of adventurer, he didn´t seem to have noticed them yet, simply staring at the top of the pedestal...
