Session 10: The Necromancer's Tower part 1
General Summary
Our heroes were staying in Brontos after tracking the caravan they suspect Rorick's bother is with. The townspeople were not very forthcoming with information about the caravan but our heroes did hear some other interesting rumors. Zanril was unable to find out anything about the red gold, instead, he heard about a necromancer's tower north of Clearfort. Kaylin heard rumors about some old ruins way up north and something about being guarded by a ghost. Rorick heard a rumor about a magical swamp that appeared in a forest. He also received a poem.
Find me where the thick trees grow,Our heroes noticed that Daeran had a new shiny staff. Where did he get it? Solto was off doing gnome things this time, he did not meet the group at the tavern. Our heroes decided to head up to the necromancy tower, when they arrived they encountered two gargoyles guarding the door. After murdering them, they cautiously walked into the room, Daeran first. He noticed that there was a glyph of warding in the middle of the room. Unfortunately, as they all piled in Zanril set it off and they all took a bit of thunder damage. An investigation of a trap door showed them that there was an invisible barrier guarding it. With no where else to go, our heroes headed up the stairs. On the second level they immediately encountered zombies. Three things were in this tidy room, a strange red circle in the middle on the floor, an alchemy table, and a desk. Both Daeran and Rorick tried to investigate the red circle, neither had seen one before. Kaylin went to the alchemy table and grabbed some alchemy bottles. She also found drawings of an excavation site showing dragon bones and an hourglass timer. Rorick investigated the desk, he found some anatomy scrolls, a book on dragons, and a book on necromancy. Zanril creeped up the next flight of stairs, it was very dark but he managed to make out a glowing sphere in the far corner. He went back downstairs to collect the party. They all clambered to the top floor of the tower, Zanril touched the glowing sphere. As soon as he touched the sphere a shadow and shadow demon. After some difficulty, and heroics by Zanril, they were able to destroy the shadow creatures. Some investigating of the sphere informed our heroes that it was connected to the barrier on the trap door. Zanril attempted to break the sphere with a hammer, he barely scratched it. Kaylin grabbed the hammer and destroyed the sphere. Our heroes headed down stairs and prepared to go into the cellar.
