Working with the wind was definitely a smart decision on your part. Doing so proved to be much easier than heading north or just standing there. The wind was meant to take you south for a reason, and it also had a deeper meaning that needed to be interpreted using Anemoscopy to give you an inkling about what was head.

Knowing the Divination method that interpreted wind direction would have lead you to conclude that wind blowing from the west and the north was a bad omen and the sudden chance in direction was a warning of dire circumstances. However, it was too late to be making predictions now.

Soon the wind begins to lessen, which isn't necessarily a bad thing as something becomes more visible with each step.

The lock itself could have easily been overlooked for your attention was likely drawn to the shivering figure within the cage. It is Sam Tyler.
