[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5568825, member: 16069"] Rising out of the Underdark lake, the once-mighty tower is now little more than a trio of crumbling walls. Built of massive blocks of rough-hewn stone, the tower must have once been several stories in height. Through the broken stone door, you can see the rotten remains of collapsed timbers (now no more than a muddy mess) and debris in a pile in the centre of the chamber some three or four feet high. A cold wind whistles through the stones, the low chanting seems to rise and fall with the wind. You move closer, allow your light to search out and illuminate all within. The interior of the tower is littered with debris: thick wooden beams, broken slate shingles, and fallen stone blocks. The half-collapsed roof leaves much of the tower cloaked in shadows. Statues — four in all — stand in the dark corners of the tower. Each depicts a dwarf arrayed in battle armour. At the far side of the tower a rusty metal gate hangs awkwardly there seems to be a passage beyond, through the ruined building. The chanting is definitely louder within the tower, though still muffled. It is readily apparent that the statues are the source of the muffled chanting. There are no creatures present, save perhaps for a lone rat (not monstrous in any way) which sits up to stare back at you. [url=http://gallery.rptools.net/v/contrib/goonalan/]goonalan[/url] [OOC]The triangles represent area of difficult terrain, they take two squares to move through- however you are not in combat so move where you wish. Your adventure begins here- what do you wish to do? Please make any rolls, use the grid to describe movement (if you wish to be specific), if you wish to search then please suggest locations- do not simply state- “I search the tower...”, better would be, “I move in to investigate the (whatever)”. Describe what skills you are using and how if need be. If you have any problem seeing the maps then get back to me asap, note check out the large map, if I say so myself (and I built it), it's lush.[/OOC] Cheers Goonalan, and good luck. [/QUOTE]
