[QUOTE="Arravis, post: 838287, member: 327"] The tower is atop a plataeu of perfectly black flat stone that is nearly 200 miles wide (the tower being 100 miles in). As you can guess, that would kill pretty much all life there (and nearly killed the party going to it, thankfully they packed their lizard-mounts with nothing but food and water, lots of water). So I'd guess things within will be in surprisingly good condition, except for wood, leathers, and bodies (well, they would be in good condition as far as bodies go ;)). The home-brewed world I'm DMing can be tough to run because of issues like this, but it's been a great time so far. For those interested, it's an Athasian (Dark Sun) style world (ie: metals are very rare, stone-age tech, etc), but without magic and psionics. There are limited magics, but the dozen or so casters that exist in the world don't cast X number of spells per day... it's per week. Additionally, if the party ever does come across a magic weapon... they'll find out it slowly feeds off the user itself to power it's magics ;). It's a harsh environment and campaign world, but it makes for a fun and unique environment. Most "loot" is making weapons, armor and equipment out of the monsters you encounter, lol. You should see the look in the player's eyes when they meet a creature whose chittin would make a good weapon.. ;). Anyway, thanks for all the help guys, it's been VERY helpful! [/QUOTE]
