Much to Sheng's dismay, the skeleton moves back among the mechanical beasts as if they were his pets. It reaches a bony hand down in a mockery a master scratchingn his hound behind the ears. Bones scrape on rusting metal, making an erie sound, so unnatural in its context.
The skeleton then tosses its head back in a laugh as he fades from view.
Sheng retreats to a safe distance from which he can harry his enemies. From this vantage point, he notices that the southeast corner of the tower is crumbled away, offering a way in that bypasses the main gate.
Hankel charges forward attempting to fell one of the metallic guardians, but his axe glances off of the construct's galvanized hide.
TikChik races in to distract them away from the over zeaous dwarf, managing to get their attention, and do some damage in the process, but ends up on the receiving end of some damage himself.
The constructs surround him, with razor teeth, mounted in steel jaws.
A third of the quickened hounds charges forward, between TikChik's legs, and out forward of the gate, challenging Riardon, it's jaws snapping just short of the eladrin's face.
Arrows rain down, striking Fenwick in the chest, just below the orc's right collarbone. At this point, the barbarian is beginning to resemble a pin cushion. As he pulls breaks the end of the shaft off in an attempt to free the arrow, his eyes go wide with horror as he sees one of the arrows bury itself in Hankel's back. The dwarf goes down.
| GM: | Just a reminder:
Your objective here is to get into the lighthouse, find the Greataxe named Stang, and light the beacon at the top of the lighthouse. |

[/sblock][sblock=The Second Floor] Tenchu examines the axe. It appears to be a greataxe of dwarven make inlaid with two, blue crystals: one on the pommel and one inset in the blade.[sblock=The Axe]
[/sblock]Around the pommel is a dwarven script[sblock=Script]

In the southwest corner of the corridor, the decayed body of a dwarven sentry lies above a stack of barrels, the contents of which are either dried up or well aged. One can only tell by trying.[sblock=Dead Dwarf on Barrels]
[/sblock][sblock=Insight DC 15]The bodies look to have been dead and undisturbed for over one hundred years.[/sblock]Further down the wall to the east, another sentry lies rotting on the floor, though his armor seems to be none the worse for wear.[sblock=Dead Dwarf in Full Armor]
[/sblock]At the far end of the corridor, the southeast corner of the wall has been blown out as if by some horrid magic.
To the north, a small hallway proceeds into another area of the lighthouse, perhaps to the stairs.[/sblock]
| GM: | Choices:
- Examine the greataxe further (i.e.: pick it up and try to use it)
- Examine some of the other points of interest on this floor
- Try to find your way upstairs and clear out the archers on the roof.
Remember your overall objectives (see above)
