GM: Talk about overkill. 20 damage to a minion!


As the last skeleton falls, silence once again descends on the area. You can hear little except the wind blowing through the debris, and an occasional bird off in the distance.

Collecting yourself (in other words, take a short rest and let me know how many surges you expend), you start to venture further into the valley. As it begins to level off, thinning trees give way to larger pieces of marble, both embedded in the ground and floating around you. The overgrown stonework increases in both quantity and size until all the debris merges into one enormous mound of rubble at the bottom of the valley. From here, you can get a good view of the tower that remains intact. It looks to be about 3 stories tall, and completely whole. It is, however, floating about 100 feet above the ground.

You are still quite a ways off from the tower, but with the sheer amount of floating rubble surrounding it, you think that you could possibly find a path up to the bottom floor of the tower.

What would you like to do now?
 

OOC: Mallick uses 3 surges.


Brothers, it seems we have a quandry. We can proceed to the mound of rubble and investigate for treasure (and treasure is always a good thing) or we can proceed up to the tower, our eventual destination, but its a precarious course the less nimble among us may regret taking.
 

"I would like to check out the mound of rubble first. Maybe we could find the best route up from there. I whish I had a flying drake."

Sledge uses 2 surges to get back to 61
 


I am okay with exploring the rubble, but this gnome does not intend to haul any loot up to the tower and back.

[sblock=Actions]
2 healing surges, to return to 38hp.

The path down to the rubble is fairly easy, despite all of the bits of marble strewn about. The tower is floating about 100 ft. from the ground, just over the area you are walking toward.

When you get within about 50 ft. from the rubble pile itself, a dragonborn runs up to you with hands held up (seemingly in a gesture of surrender) and quietly says "Hail to you all! I heard fighting in the valley and feared that the undead had increased their numbers. I barely survived myself. They've boxed me into this forsaken place without food or water. Perhaps you can spare a little of both?"

The dragonborn points to the floating tower. "In return, I'll gladly share my temporary refuge...it's the only place the undead don't seem to go."
