[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7838026, member: 7015827"] After close to six hours' travel, the group spotted the watchtower in the distance, outlined against a nearly-full moon. It being the dead of night, the only sounds reaching them were that of the breeze coming off the sea and occasional animal noises. Marik carefully scouted the base of the tower and observed that it was crumbling and cracked, apparently abandoned. No other way to enter was apparent save through the front door, which Marik indicated was trapped. Neither he nor Brok-Tul could figure out how to set off the trap without being injured in the process, so they took up positions a fair distance away and began shooting at the trap with their crossbows, hoping to set off the trigger. After about a minute, the trap was sprung, spikes falling across the entrance, and the party carefully entered the darkened tower. The first level of the tower had ruined furniture and rubble strewn across it, with stairs leading upwards at the opposite end. Brok-Tul yelled for Klendt to come down and surrender, but received only silence in return. After careful searching, Marik discovered a gas trap laid across the stairs, which he was unable to disarm. Brok-Tul indicated he could summon a "giant gerbil" to set it off and did so, the party staying well away from the cloud of gas released; the animal appeared unaffected by it. Creeping up the stairs, the party encountered another trap on the landing of the second level. While they were debating what to do, a thunderstone exploded in their midst and a previously invisible figure attacked their front ranks, swinging his sword wildly. The tangle trap at the top of the stairs was triggered, but only slowed up the party for a short time. Seeing the tide turn against him, the man ran for the other side of the tower, screaming that he surrendered, but was cut down by the party members pursuing him. [I](Apparently they considered it easier to fulfill the contract with a dead body. --R)[/I] A number of items were found on his corpse, including the notorious backstabbing sword, which seemed to prove that it was indeed Klendt who had attacked them.
