The Infinite Tower

Serig is not looking well, with an old wound and several new ones he is beginning to be a bit shaky. I have him at 2/6 health = 6 - 2 + 1 - 2 - 1

Dree drops the wounded cat and continues the swing to its companion but is unable to connect.

The final cat snarls and with a last swipe at Dree, likely to discourage pursuit, turns and begins to flee

Serig is not doing well, having taken a more aggressive path, and paid for it in blood. Dree on the other hand traveled more and is 2/3 done. After spending a few minutes to bind Serig's new wounds you are ready to finish the trials.

The two of you part ways to finish this trial, having agreed that this was enough and it was time to leave this place. Upon completion the valley fades around you, revealing it to be the illusion it was. As it does all wounds also vanish though your fatigue remains. The two of you find ourselves in another simple roome of stone with no discernable light source, doors, or windows. Immediately after you find yourselves in the room the lighting fades to that of a dark and moonless night lit only by starlight. After several minutes the now somewhat familiar voice of the tower speaks to you.

Trial evaluation of transfer applicants has completed. Unregistered individuals detected. Remote administrative access revoked. Applicants retrieved from intermediate status pending local Warden. Local Warden unavailable. Acting Wardens have been notified.

Thank you for your patience. You will be assisted momentarily.

As the end of this the light slowly returns to a dul pre-dawn level and you hear a slight grinding noise. Turning you see a line appear on one of the walls and watch as a door opens at an ants pace. The area beyond the door is fully lit and looks like the entrance chamber of the tower. Distant footfalls can be heard approaching but still far off. Peering through the door as it finally opens to a size wide enough to allow you head you confirm it leads to the receiving hall and the exit is only tens of feet to your right. To your left the sounds of feet are getting louder and you hear two voices panting a clipped conversation as they rush towards you though you still see no one else.

Neither voice is familiar. As you pause to listen the speakers, a pair of elves by their looks, come into view. As they enter the entry hall the spot you and immediately show to a more dignified speed. The lady calls out to you.

Our apologies for our late arrival. We were not expecting you. The other tower warden must have been unable to contact us before sending you to our site.
She is armor, though it looks more ornamental than functional, and is marked with Symbol of divine service so is likely a protests or cleric.

The male wears robes and scurries along with horror small steps to keep up with the woman's long strides. His robes bear arcane marks and a belt with several items and pouches dust him to be a wizard or artificer. The chamber echos some mumbled industry words from him as he flares at you in obvious frustration.

The trials originate long ago during the ascension of the Dawn Age. They were created to test the strengths, skills, aptitude, and wisdom of the tower applicants. The test showed what the applicant was ready to learn. Unfortunately with the advent of the Dawn Warn it shifted to focus more on militant prowess.

As for where we are, I am sorry to say that with the Shattering this has little meaning an dI am sorry to say that at this time there is noting we can do to send you back. Once we are able to repair more of the tower that may change.

Upon hearing Dree she looks uncomfortable and glances at her companion


We are sorry but as she stated there is noting we can do at this time.
If you wish to help us restore the tower Portal then I will do my best to locate your tower of origin and try to correct this situation. You see that though much of the Tower remains intact the Shattering causes pieces of our tower to be ejected into the surrounding area. If you wish to return we will need to collect the pieces so I can restore this Portals connection to the Infinite Tower.
