Message: <blockquote data-quote="Leif" data-source="post: 4369673" data-attributes="member: 48762">Crus's TowerThe wizards spend the morning in the Hog's Head Inn and puttering around Twain.  After a hearty lunch at the Hog's Head, they decide that it's time to go and see Crus.  Crus's tower is situated about half a mile, give or take, to the east of Twain.  There is a fairly good road that leads out to it and then continues on past it.  Crus's Tower is between the road and the Quail River and there are some smaller outbuilings closer to the river bank, with one right on the bank that has a sturdy dock just behind it.  A good-sized boat is moored there, as are several smaller boats.The tower itself is 60 feet in diameter and 50 feet tall.  It is constructed wholly of mortared stone and capped by a crenellated parapet.  There is a board affixed beside the door that bears a stylized "C" in the midst of several arcane looking symbols.  You surmise that this is to deter casual passersby from disturbing Crus.  Tylara, being the fastest walker among you (or so she fancies) is the first one to approach the door, and being something of a headstrong lass, she immediately knocks loudly.  Poor Manny has to run a little bit to keep from falling too far behind, but most of his friends are, thankfully, more considerate of his short legs. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  As the rest of the group joins her on the doorstep, a large mouth appears on the wall beside the door, and speaks in a very deep bass voice:"Yesssssssss?  What do you want?What's the matter, haven't you ever met a talking tower before?  Mwaaaahh ha ha haaaaaaaaa!"</blockquote>
