[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 5874375, member: 52403"] [b]The better part of valor[/b] Well to everyone’s surprise they survived the flight up the mountain; they found themselves before a solid and quite sodden iron bound wooden door; rust had befallen this proud portal and there is water seeping through. Discussions were abound regarding the effects of ice on the door and if this would budge it as Kat could not get the portal open. They decided that they would head straight for the tower with the interesting lightning rod on the roof. Grembor flies up and inspects the roof from a safe distance; he notices that there is a large metal roof that has the capacity to be opened plus a smaller trapdoor leading also down into the room below. The iron construction on the roof reaches 30 feet into the air and is comprised of three triangular platforms at 10 foot intervals; accessible by a narrow looking ladder from the rooftop. Upon the highest platform are what looks to be a couple of machines and they are connected to the very large and impressive lightning conductor that reaches another 50 feet into the sky. Grembor lands the flying goat on the roof and spends several minutes inspecting the trapdoor making sure there are no traps; apparently he learnt his lesson with the last trapdoor he inadvertently opened. Creaking open the trapdoor he looks inside but it’s very dark; he can see a ladder going down and a few close strands of webbing; the size of which makes him somewhat nervous. Grembor gets back on his trusty steed and does a fly around the tower trying to see a better way in but the only way he can find are the trapdoor on the ceiling and the obvious double doors at the base of the tower. Deciding this is the safest way in and Pringle upon hearing about the machines on the roof gets very excited and wants to investigate them immediately. Ferrying them to the roof they ascend the precarious ladder which the winds make dangerous but they all get to the top without issue. Pringle and Sayuri both start poking at the two machines they found but neither of them can make any sense of them. Pringle even receives a severe jolt of electricity for one of them and is nearly flung off the platform. The resulting drop of 350ft would have caused him considerable issues but this was narrowly avoided by an out flung hand grabbing a support beam. They come to the conclusion that this alchemical / magical machine is beyond them and retire back down the ladder. Pringle casts a light spell on a pebble and they drop it down the trapdoor; it illuminates the inside of the tower nicely; they can see the ladder leading down 60ft to the floor; the many strands of thick webbing criss crossing the room; the leaver at the bottom of the ladder which they assume may control the metal shutters keeping the roof closed and the huge aberrant golem crouched close to the ceiling. Lucky for them the creature while made of several different creatures; none of them are all that perspective or bright so the sudden appearance of light in the room in no way alerts the creature to their presence.
