Scene 4: The Tower

Firina is a little surprised as Hindle starts talking to what seems like thin air. Miet, meanwhile, gives a little rebellious huff, but carefully hovers well above the plants and along the stairs to the next floor to look for treasure.

Around the skeleton, she sees loose coins scattered about its bones. In its death grip, it holds a leather book and a shiny piece of parchment pokes out of the top.

As she flies around the spiraling staircase, an alcove just out of the party's view holds a shiny lantern, a green light glows out of glass that almost looks like an eye.

She flies back down and does a finishing sweep of the basement. On the far end of the room, a shelf full of bottles and paraphernalia like they saw in the dungeon. Of note, a red and yellow potion sit on the highest level.

Hindle stops halfway up the stairs to look into the alcove with the strange lantern. The lantern itself shimmers and shines more than its metal should and a green light glows out of glass that almost looks like an eye. Merton sidles up and looks around Hindle. "Shiny. A little creepy. Are we taking it?"

Alax shrugs, not sure what fascinates Hindle so, and continues up to the next floor with the pair of doors illuminated by candlelight from sconces on each side. Firina follows, cradling the book and spell she adroitly collected on the way up. With Brickowsky finished up with gathering the vitriol, Leana and Brickowsky join Alax and Firina to wait on the second floor for now.

Miet scouts ahead of the party, not noticing anything more of interest on the way to the second floor. She sneaks a peek on the stairs up to the third floor and finds an identical pair of doors with sconces illuminating it. Another spider skitters about on the third floor and then disappears out of sight around the spiraling staircase. Miet decides to wait and returns to Hindle's side.
