They immediately noticed that the door to the old tower looked much newer than the surrounding structures. As the group entered the tower a huge stone golem stirred to the attack, almost at the same moment a silent gargoyle assassin sailed down from above and attacked Thoren at the rear of the party.Thoren withstood the assassination attempt, but froze in shock at the rear attack. The spellcasters moaned at the sight of the golem realizing full well their spells would not accomplish much versus the construct. Thoren faced a torrent of vicious sneak attacks that reduced him to near death. The Dwarf wizard, Morguhn, not wanting to fight on two fronts, invoked a huge wall of ice in front of the golem. The stone golem smashed at the wall and began chipping its way towards the party. Thoren smacked the gargoyle assassin with a couple of shots and the creature fled, flying to the roof of the tower. The party braced for the coming attack as the Golem continued bashing through the wall of ice.The clerics and wizards began casting buffs, and as Mercutio began to cast invisibility on himself he noticed an arrow streaking down from a hole in the ceiling towards him. Fortunately, Morguhn had cast protection from arrows on him prior to the group’s entering the tower. Mercutio realized the rest of the adventurers were not so protected and cast fly on himself to confront the gargoyle.Mercutio quickly ascended outside the tower and found himself face-to-face with the assassin on the tower’s roof.<a href="http://www.pogre.com/3602_mercutio_kills_gargoyle_assassin.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.pogre.com/3602_mercutio_kills_gargoyle_assassin_th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a> A quick missile spell killed the wounded assassin and Mercutio threw its body over the side of the structure in celebration.DM Note: Those interested in the Gargoyle Assassin I used may find him here:<a href="http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=606171&postcount=8" target="_blank"> Grummok (age 39): Male Gargoyle Rog 4/Asn2</a>The Stone Golem finally forced its way through the ice and was quickly swarmed by the fighter-types and clerics.<a href="http://www.pogre.com/3603_stone_golem.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.pogre.com/3603_stone_golem_th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a>The Stone Golem did some serious damage to a couple of the adventurers, but their combined might was too much and it too fell.An exploration of the base of the tower led to discovery a rubble-filled, but passable stairway leading down. The adventurers proceeded down with Wassabe the swashbuckler and Githraldul the ranger leading the way. As the adventurers made their way into another debris filled room they were suddenly attacked by sticky strands shot out at them. Githraldul felt every ounce of strength sapped from his body and he was being dragged into the waiting maw of a roper!<a href="http://www.pogre.com/3604_roper_burn.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.pogre.com/3604_roper_burn_th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a>to be continued…</blockquote>
