[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 6084513, member: 34958"] The party completes their preparations and heads to the docks, where they find Corporal Murphy preparing a large skiff for sail. It looks as if it had seen better decades, but he assures you that it's sea worthy. You pile on board and he casts off just as a strange fog begins to settle over the waters, obscuring the bay. [color=sienna]"See? I told you! This is the night!"[/color] He looks positively giddy as he puts away his oars and opens the sail. The craft glides out into choppy waters. It seems to take nearly an hour of fighting the currents, but at last you begin to make out a spindle-shaped structure through the darkness and fog. It pokes forth slightly from the water. As you approach you notice another boat tethered to it. [color=sienna]"Watch yourselves in there. It looks like they beat us to it."[/color] The tower rises from the sea like something out of a fairy tale. And yet, it must be real, for waves lap at it just as they lap at the planks of your skiff. Snarling gargoyles crown the four corners of the tower, peering from coral-encrusted battlements. More worrisome than the eldritch tower or the snarling gargoyles is the worn longboat moored on the far side of the tower, which the corporal already pointed out. The deck of the longboat is empty, though it is hooked to a circular balcony with a tall wall. The balcony seems to be the only way to get onto the tower. The lip of the balcony wall is just above head-level, though Corporal Murphy gets close enough for you to be able to pull yourselves over without much trouble if you choose to do so. [/QUOTE]
