With an eyebrow raised in question at Sarith, Mai'ngor gestures up the ladder.

"Heroes venture where others fear to tread," Elayna says to Mai'ngor, "and bring the light to blind eyes."

Sarith nods to Mai'ngor, tilts his head to Elayna (an indication to keep an eye on her), and begins moving up the ladder. As he reaches the top, he shouts down, "We've got company!" and you can hear his swords being drawn.

Mai'ngor races up the ladder and by Sinag's light sees...

Elayna prepares herself to follow, taking the stairs once Mai'ngor is clear.

As you reach the top of the ladder, you see Sarith swipe at what appears to be a being made of shadow. As Sinag's light pours into the chamber, the shadow creature fades away, leaving the chamber well-lit and quiet. This chamber is empty aside from a ladder leading to a trap door in the ceiling.

"Perhaps Sinag and I should lead," Mai'ngor says. "Shine brighter, Sinag. Protect us with your light." As the sword's circle of radiance grows, the tikbalang leads the way up the ladder.

"What was that?" says Elayna, poking her head over the ladder as she follows Mai'ngor. "Where'd it go?"

Melpomene follows cautiously behind.

Sarith shakes his head, "Some sort of demon, I think..."

As Mai'ngor climbs the ladder and pushes open the trap door, he arrives at the top of the tower. There is nothing up here that he can tell aside from four monstrous-looking statues.

"Needless to say, it would be a very bad idea to touch those."

"I’ve seen better-carved statues in my day."

"Did the demon leave this way," asks Elayna, casting a hesitant glance at the trap door below her, "or is it still in there?"

Melpomene bashfully pulls back a curious hand that was drifting toward one of the statues. She tucks both hands behind her back while peering closely at the statues, trying to see if she can place their subjects.

Sarith shakes his head, "I'd guess that the demon is still down there. If we're done here, it's best we leave in Sinag's light."

Melpomene has no reason to believe that these statues are anything but normal gargoyles. It's hard to say why they never activated when you entered, though...

"Back the way we came, I guess," says Elayna. "We'll just stick together in the light of Mai'ngor's sword and keep our eyes peeled. Maybe on the way out, we give that poor soul a proper burial."

Mai'ngor nods and leads the way down.

You make your way down to the bottom of the tower without any further issues.
Nov 25, 2019 5:09 pm
Elayna will see what she can do with the body, to give what she feels is its proper rest.

Mai'ngor keeps Sinag burning bright. He watches Elayna without comment, but is anxious to be away from here.
