Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ellie_the_Elf" data-source="post: 2202339" data-attributes="member: 17018">Elf wizard in Return to the Temple of Elemental EvilWe made it to the lake in the centre, with the lightning towers. We'd already heard from one of the NPCs about these towers, so the monk volunteers to see how close she can get to the door across the bridge and possibly to try to find a way in to the castle. She gets zapped multiple times but makes it to the end of the bridge and climbs up inside one of the towers. Then about a 20 Spider Eaters, waiting within the tower, start attacking her . My wizard Dimension Door-ed  herself and the rest of the party into the tower to help the monk out. Fighting ensues, my wizard is paralysed by one of the aforementioned Spider Eaters, but we manage to take out the inhabitants of the tower. Cleric and paladin decide to explore the tower and come across the magical device that powers it- they then make the extremely foolish decision to destroy the device- which they succeed at doing, thanks to the cleric rolling a 20 on his dispel check. Tower begins to collapse around our ears. Great amounts of panic since the only one with any teleport spells is my paralysed wizard. Giant owls are summoned to carry us away. Owls promptly get zapped (as do the entire party) the second they leave the tower. We fall from the sky, and everyone but the cleric dies from either the lightning damage or  the falling damage. The cleric drowns two rounds later, trying to swim out of range of the lightning towers underwater while wearing full plate.  Ellie  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
