The descent to the tower was not as long or gruelling as they thought it would be. They didn’t expect there to be a much of a tower left if they were being honest with themselves. But what awaited them in the chasm was something they didn’t expect at all. But to find out what was there we best sit back, grab a coffee and let’s roll into tonight’s adventure.
Descent to the Tower
334WeDeTTTo
As the party looked over the railing of the ship a series of shouts brought their attention to the crows nest. One of the crew was pointing frantically at the sky as several leathery flying creatures swooped from the direction of the sun into the chasm.
On that back of each of these large creatures were two people strapped into a unique harness. The first two creatures to swoop past them were occupied by familiar faces. Jason, Colin and Mary, the latter smiling and waving at the group as they rushed downwards.
“They are after the tower too!” Lucile called as she brought up a large crossbow and launched a shot towards one of the descending fliers. “Alex! Can’t you make this thing go any faster?” to which Alex replied with just a grunt as he whirled the wheel around causing the ship to tip towards the chasm and descend at a rapid rate. But it wasn’t as fast as the fliers. With a turn around a jagged corner of the chasm they came across a sight that they didn’t expect to see.
Andrasa’s tower was intact. A large section of stone on which the tower had been built was wedged between two parts of the chasm. Between them rose a magnificent tower that defied the pull of the chasm’s floor below and rose toward the sun above. Already the ship’s crew and party could see the winged leathery reptiles landing and humanoids scuttling off their backs and onto the towers foundations. The creatures then took flight again towards the walls of the chasm.
“It looks like they are taking a fortified position. Or to what little extent they can!” Jessica said as she raised a telescope to her eye and looked down. “A group has gone in but some remain as a welcoming party for us. This won’t be easy if we have to try and land safely whilst being under fire.” she repeated as an arrow or bolt whistled past the railing and over the ship.
Thoughts
So an assault of a tower to discover what lies within. There is two parts to this encounter and adventure which I am excited to share with you this week. Trying to get of a flying ship, or any vehicle, whilst being shot at by arrows would be difficult but with a party of seasoned adventurers this shouldn’t be a hard task. The hard task is once they breach the towers walls.
Thanks for visiting again tonight to stay on top of this weeks adventure. Some big plans coming up but perhaps not another tower map, they can be a bit tiresome to work out. But if I can muster the energy and courage to work one out we will have to see what I can work out. So don’t forget to come back to see where we take this weeks adventure and, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
