To one side are several smaller towers.  Some look heavily damaged and even partially collapsed.  The other towers are all very large and are about 35 feet around.  Seagulls float on the winds and call.  One in particular lands and while turning its head sideways calls at the halfling and elf.  Cedious makes a rude comment to it and tries to determine the size of the place.It looks to be about 120ft wide and several hundred long.  The water is roughly 40ft deep and perfectly clear.  The walls surround the towers and stops waves from doing much damage.   It is almost tranquil.Except for that damned bird.Wall climbs up and rolls onto the ledge of the window.  “I hate…. water.”“Tired from the swim?” asks Talon with a smile.“Aye.  An’ it ruins a stiff n’ good drink.”  The dwarven defender replies himself. Pelor, the groups healer and diplomatic looks around a bit within the tower.  There are signs of someone living here under very sparse conditions.  There are several mats made from seaweed within.  Holes cut into the floor lead down into a flooded room.  Wishing to be there if the group finds the local first, he climbs the rope.“This could make a nice place…. In a vacationing kinda way.” Says Pebbles as she looks over the edge into the water.   A school of colorful fish swims lazily among a few loose stones on the ground.“I don’t like it.  Pebbles-   we need your magical tower.”  Demands Cedious as he looks for the locals to start trouble.The tower is placed and grown on top of the other towers but then they notice several cracks form on the roof.  The sheer weight is threatening to crush these existing towers.  “No good-   recall it or lose it!” calls out the halfling rogue.Talon and Zen point to a reinforced area of the wall that is submerged.   Would that hold it up?” asks Talon.   The entrance door would be at water level but I think its okay.Thinking it over they decide to do it.   The seagulls lift and land quickly as this is done.   The call out angrily at the intrusion.  One especially as it lands on the rooftop the group is using.   Zen pulls out an arrow and goes to shot it.  The seagull lifts and begins to float away.  He fires an arrow but it MISSES!?!?!?“My arrows must have become water logged!” worries the elf as he unslings his quiver to inspect for any further damage.Uh…. guys-  we have company.” Says Wall as he looks across the rope and sees a slim lizardfolk standing there</blockquote>
