Journal - Session 14 - The Tower in the Wilderness

General Summary

The 17th of Serrum, 1390 of the Storm Era, Along the Coast East of the Grand Stormwatch Citadel
The party rode hard all day due east and as it became dusk they stopped and looked behind them to see smoke in the distance and fire reflecting from the clouds. The party began to discuss with one another what was going on and planning on what they can do about the clockwork legion. They discussed potentially using an anti-magic field to stop the clockwork legion. The party sets up camp for the evening, and they all prepare for the night and go to sleep with Kobo keeping watch.

The next morning the party awakes and goes about their morning routine. As Dink prepares for the morning he looks up at the sky and determines that a storm may be approaching. The party decides to turn south into the Grimwood. After 3 hours they reached the Grimwood. The party headed south into the Grimwood and traveled for another 3 hours.
The party stopped and discussed which way to go. The party decided to head west. After 3 more hours of travel the party reached a large clearing in the woods and in the center stood a very large tower. (150 feet around by 600 feet high), as the party approaches the tower the horses grow very nervous.

The party walks around the side of the tower and finds an ancient wooden and wrought iron door. The party tries to pick the lock but are unsuccessful. Then the party tries to bust down the door and are eventually successful and enter into a large hall room.
At the far end of the room is a large staircase that splits and goes left and right midway up. The party can’t get the horses to come into the tower. As the party ties up the horses they proceed inside. When they all make it inside they see movement from within:
