A Wizard tower

Jan 23, 2025 2:58 pm

OOC:

Under unknown circumstances, Azure lost her family when she was too young to remember. She was taken in by a lonely human wizard that lived in a tower, far away from others. Over the years he raised her as his own, and taught her everything. She had innate magical abilities and a curiosity for magic items.

Everything couldn't stay peaceful however. A nearby village had a legend. An omen about a silver beastkin that would bring the downfall of man. One night, the mob came and attacked. The wizard managed to get Azure to safety, but didn't survive the night. His last wish was for her to find somewhere she could be safe and happy.

Determined, she now is in search of her place in the world. A place where she can belong.

Azure has bee searching for a rumored wizard’s tower deep in the woods. Those thate have stumbled upon it report the tower to be guarded by magical constructs. Though the world is full of magic you know that the common fold often fear it, especially if they have no gift or local healer or alchemist to help them see and understand it as part of their everyday lives. The tower full of magic is both amazing and terifying to the village and you wonder why none of them knew of it's exsistance till recently so set out to investigate.

After hours of wandering through dense forests and winding trails, the trees part to reveal a hidden valley shrouded in mist. At its center stands the tower, a slender spire of weathered stone rising defiantly against the sky. Vines and moss cling to its walls, but faint magical glyphs etched into the stone occasionally flicker with an otherworldly glow, hinting at the power that once pulsed within.

Accompanied by one of the local woodmen you enter the small valley and soon reach the toweer base. The entrance is a heavy wooden door reinforced with bands of iron. The wood looks ancient but sturdy, and a faint hum of magic surrounds it. A carved sigil of a crescent moon, the wizard’s personal mark, is faintly visible above the door.

"Hmm.. I believe I have seen this somewhere before..."

She begins to rummage around in her bag. Stopping shortly, remembering she doesn't actually have any of the books she was used to referencing. She sighs. Old habits are hard to break. She looks around for something to help reach the sigil.

OOC:

She is very short. Only about 4 ft tall.

Once she succeeds she will reach out to the sigil to try to analyze the type of magic it is.

The hunter watches you for a moment then ralizes what you are attempting and simply picks you up by the waist, getting a surprised slap in the face by your tail, an draises you up for a closer inspection.

Now much closer you rsee tiny runes set within the crescent moon symbol. Glancing over them you read and decipher a basic alarm array tied to several detection runes. The allarm does not appear to be tied to anything you can see, but that is not a garantee. Other than the alarm all you see is a minor enchantment to keep the symbol clean and in repair.

Setting you down after holding you aloft for over a minute Karesohn looks around nervously. Last time I was here there were at least two golems walking around every so often. You do have a way to handle them, right?.

"Hmm, I may need another lift in a second. Lets see if I can do something about this alarm."

She investigates the sigils. Prodding to see any ways to disarm them.

You are lifted up again and after some careful examination find the alarm does has a key. Some quick magical tinkering followed by a small "pop" and you feel the magical energies of the alarm dissipate. As they do the door to the tower swings partially open, apparently held in place entirely by magics. Peering through the partially open door into the dimly lit interior you see what looks to be a Foyer.

The entryway is modest, with a circular stone floor and walls lined with empty sconces. A single magical orb floats near the ceiling, providing a dim, flickering light. A coat rack by the door holds a tattered cloak, and a small wooden table has a thick leather bound tome. At the back of the room spiral staircase of dark iron winds its way up along the curved wall.

Karesohn

As you are looking inside Karesohn stiffens and curses softly. Lady, I hear the guardians coming and after only a moment you too can hear heavy footfalls coming from around one side of the tower.

The two of you slip in side and though you shove the door closed it does not latch. Though Azure tries a binding on the door her magic fails and she ponders another solution while leaning on the door to hold it in place. The room is thankfully empty or more guards though it must be cleaned else you would expect more dust. The dim light from the orb is sufficient to look around and conclude that though the room is in obvious need of restoration it once was quite nice. The heavily bound book has detailed leather work carved on pressed onto it and the table is decorative in nature, whit an empty inkwell inset into it next to the book. The stairs leading up look sounds but your wonder just how noisy they might be as though some care has been performed on the rooms you are not sure if that would include tightening and oiling loose stairs.

OOC:

Just a note on Spell Touched. It requires line of sight and only a single spell can be maintained at once. So holding it magically would not last. However it can also be used for other minor effects that might work : example shrink a wooden shim so it is slimmer, slip it into the door, then release the magic so it swells to lock it. I may often interpret spell casting into an approach that stays more in line with how I rule it works. I just wanted you to be aware of some limits it has and that they can still be circumvented, with the right application.

Karesohn Leans against the door listening for a minute before nodding his head and standing straighter, though he keeps a hand to the door.

She looks over the book for any traps and enchantments. Then she carefully opens the book to see what secrets it contains.

Spell touched give you the ability to sence magic but does not grant adavantage in identifying or locating traps. Those without that trait are at disadvantage to sence and identify magic. Good understanding. Spell touched never grants advantage as a penalty for its extreme versitility.

As a side note the Tiny system allows focus but some GM only allow it in combat. I allow it out of combat but it takes twice as long to do any "focused" or careful activity. just mention you are being thurough, spending extra time, or cautious and I basically automatically add focus to all rolls.

[ +- ] Focus

You find noting more of interest and an examination of the book reveals it is well used and identified as "Guest Ledger" Your senses reveals it has minor enchantments on it and you determine them to be aimed at preserving it from age, minor damage, dirt, and dust. Other than a couple of closets, empty of anything of use, ther are no other rooms on the first floor.

Flipping it open you note that many names are written in .by the same hand, the owner or a staff memeber, but others are entered by a variety of other styles.

Karesohn stays by the door, watching your search. He presses his ear to the door ocasionally but seems more relaxed.

The magic suppresses the creaking as you ascend the stairs, though not completely. The stair open onto the next floor which is lined with bookshelves reaching from floor to ceiling, overflowing with tomes, scrolls, and loose papers. A large oak desk dominates the center of the room, covered in an assortment of trinkets, scrolls, and a single glowing orb emitting a soft silver light. You sense magic all throughout the room form various items. A window, cracked but intact, allows a view of the surrounding valley.

You determine there are no greater magics in the room but by your senses several items on the desk are magical and you feel a spell over the entire desk and all its contents. There are several enchanted books, either spell books or just precious books with protective magics. You assume the books and papers on the table would be the most used materials but as you step up to it your eyes fail to focus on anything written that rests on it.

Magic items on the desk : glowing orb, wizards hat, glass orb, gloves, pendant, ring, tiara

Looking over the books you find the following many useful and magical tomes. The bookshelves also have a magic field over them

"A Beginner’s Guide to Cantrips" "Herbs, Roots, and Their Arcane Properties" "Star Charts of the Mage-Kingdoms" "Runes & Sigils: A Practical Application" "The Language of Elementals" "The Art of Wandmaking" "Familiar Spirits and Their Care" "The Eight Schools of Magic: A Comparative Study" "Echoes of the Arcane: A History of Magic Through the Ages" "Tales of the Silver Beast" "The Codex of Hidden Paths" "The Eternal Flame" "Silver Threads & Lunar Mysteries" "Shadows and Substance: A Study of Illusions" "The Weave and the Web"

Azure snaps back to attention. Her daydreaming about grabbing everything and happily skipping back to town home, end in an instant. She pulls her hand away from the flames.

"Of course... Stupid stupid... Always check for traps.. It's basically Rule 1...." she says rubbing her hand.

She carefully gatheres up the still hot, surviving objects on the desk, and turns her attention to the shelves. She checks the shelves for any magic or traps and checks for anything else before heading down the stairs.

if she can, she would take tomes similar to the last ones she was going for, just to speed things up! And unless anything happens, she will continue down the stairs like she was going to before.

The books seem to have a similar spell woven over them. By your assume the spell over the desk and field over the shelves were both trigger spells tied to a stronger enchantment. Considering whether to risk the shelves or not you are startled to hear heavy footfalls coming closer another stairwell just off the room. Quickly gathering what you can you make your way back down to the first floor with Karesohn

Karesohn

Glancing up the stairs nervously he whispers We should leave and heads to the front door only to freeze in panic. I hear more outside, what shall we do? he whispers frantically.

Winged Monkey

As you feel a trickle of apprehension begin to fill you a slight noise behind you causes you to look back. There in the shadows of the stairs up you see a small creature with large eyes. A small paw reaches out and waves you over, gesturing repeatedly for you to come closer as it backs into the shadows, glancing up at the approaching regular and heavy footfalls.

As you approach the small figure it retreats into the shadows further
then you hear a click and see a large regular shape shift. Stepping into the shadows under and behind the curve of the stairs you see a trapdoor and the winged monkey descending.

Karesohn

From the door he whispers They are coming. Is that thing helping us or what? and he moves to follow.

The three of you quickly descend with the door being closed behind you , sealing you into darkness. The leader feels to be made of some metal but has ridges and bumps along its surface that allow a better grip on its cool surface. You feel the area around you open up and a slight flapping noice causes you to look down. A faint glow from below lets you see the ladder continues down but the monkey is now gliding to the door at thee base of the ladder still some distance below. When you finally reach the bottom and turn to the doorway you see a long corridor with doors spaced out on either side and the winged monkey nowhere to be seen.

The air is still, thick and heavy with a hint of moisture. The walls look to hve been carved out with magic or great care as they are perfectly smooth and lack any seems or braces. The hallway is about 50 feet long with doors about every ten feet on alternating sides., left, right , left, right. The end of the coridor has another lader at the far end theat descends into a hole barely visible from here. Slight flapping sounds echo up from the direction of the hole at the far end of the hallway.

With litle else to do at this point you make your way down the hallway and examin the first door. Measuring 3 feet wide by 8 feet tall ad devoid of any features the door is still a bit remarkable in that it is made entirely of stone, including the hinges and latch mechanism. Looking down the hallway all the doors look the same.

Jharib approaches the first door on the left. He looks to his companions and shrugs. "There's no better time to investigate." He begins inspecting for traps on the door. He stops, puts his fists on his waist, and swears under his breath. The curse of his dwarven heritage came to bite him in his "hajk" once again. "Azure", he sighs.

The door appears to be simple stone and you find no signs of danger. Sliding the latch and pushing the door open you see a large storage room. Shelves hold a variety of food stuffs. Moving to the other doors you find the other time are similarly stocked with supplies including raw materials, cloth, wood, ingots of metal and stone blocks. The last holds materials that Azure recognized as used in magical research and crafting, though none are particularly rare it precious. It holds paper, velum, ink, chalk, and a variety of powders and fluids.

Jharib does not find anything of particular historical note and Azure is likewise disappointed as only the most common supplies are evident. Still quality parchment, wax, ink, and other trivialities are not as common in these remote areas as she is used to having access to in the larger cities. Not seeing any glyphs or sensing any active wards she grabs what may be of aid and the two of you move back into the corridor and over to the ladder.

At the hole you note that the air here is much cooler and the ladder is definitely cold to the touch. Looking down the vertical shaft you see a faint lavender glow in the distance below and the silhouette and blinking eyes of the monkey a dozen feet bellow looking up at you. Unsure what could be the point of all this following, now that you are away from the towers golems, you follow though not quite as quickly as the monkey seems to wish. As you descend the cold increases though you wonder as the moisture in the air should coat all the stone and ladder with frost with as cold as it feels.

Finally reaching the base of the ladder you turn to to see several rough passages with glowing crystalline formations scattered around. The Winged monkey perches shivering near one of the tunnels and alternates between looking into the tunnel and back at you.

Jharib determines this area does not seem to be a likely for mining crystals, though not unheard of. Mineral deposits such as this are usually only found this close to the surface in mountainous regions where the uplifted depth get that much closer to the surface. As he nears the corridor the creature is siding outside of he can see a strange crystal and metal formation that pulses with a dim light far down the tunnel. Taking a moment he startles as he makes out the shape of a dwarf.

Azure examines the crystals found here are of the most common quality though. Rough, small, and flawed, but still with a trace of magical potential. Likely a better vein would be of more use. But as mining is not her focus she is unsure how likely that would be nearby, though she suspects the wizard built his tower here for some reason. Pausing to create a hovering ball of flame to emit heat but fails to get more than a whisp of flame that quickly flutters and goes out.

Grondurg

Another slight spasm passes the figure and he whispers

I was a fool, I reached too far and now must pay the price. I sought be be immortal but refused the path of the undead lich. I sought to take upon myself properties of an elemental and so become an immortal spirit being. But my power is in my magic, not my soul as is the case of elementals. Now my soul is bound to this form which can not wield magic. Trapped. If only I could sleep. . . . I tire of this existence . . .

Jharib easily finds the pouch on the stiff figure. He notes that while some of the metal and crystal has fused with other minerals of the wizards costume it has little effect on the cloth and leather of his clothing and accessories. Thus all the rings, pendants, and neclaces on the wizard have fused with him but his robe, belt, and pouch are still loose. The pouch is easily untied and opening it you see noting but pitch black within.

The dwarf shudders again and he snarls through clenched jaw.

You nove back down the tunnel but see no sign of the man. You know he is a strong skilled hunter and the local were wary of the tower. He could have been taken though how that could have happened you are uncertain. He could also have left on his own, but why would he leave without talking to you. Thinking back you realize you have not really noticed him since you descended into the cavers from the store rooms, being somewhat distracted by the winged monkeys promptings.

Azure skies and an ancient tower

You gather at the base of the ladder descending from the tower foyer into what looks to be a storage cellar below. The air is still, thick and heavy with a hint of moisture. The walls look to have been carved out with magic or great care as they are perfectly smooth and lack any seams or braces. The hallway is about 50 feet long with doors about every ten feet on alternating sides., left, right , left, right. The end of the corridor has another ladder at the far end that descends into a hole barely visible from here. Slight flapping sounds echo up from the direction of the hole at the far end of the hallway.

As you introduce yourselves and compare experiences. Zarn and Tula explain they saw a figure, likely Karesohn flee the tower and be pursued by its external guardian golem. Upon entering they met another construct, that while not violent it did prevent them from entering the 2nd or higher levels. Jharib and Azure tell a bit about what they saw in the office library on the 2nd floor and having found a mostly petrified Grondurg Ingothelm in the caverns beneath the storage roooms. He explained how, or rather demanded, that they help him by fetching a rod from the shelved on the 2nd level study.

Nice Zarn, let's do this.

OK, here goes, get ready to run for the stairs that lead up to the library.
Tula peers out of the trap door watching the Guardian as she casts her spell.
Spell: Listen; someone's banging at the door, while we creep silent, cross this floor.

A quick search of the shelves reveals could containers but most are simple supplies but eventually one is found close to the ground with a lock.

Jharib easily determents them to be magical items. However, other than the vial having some defensive or healing properties and the rod containing a powerful enchantment he is uncertain. Both look newly crafted and unused. As he holds both he notices the items seem to oddly react with each other. The closer they get to reach other the more they tingle in his hands but they refuse to touch.

He gets up and begins to duck and weave to make sure the golem has to really focus on him to connect with another attack.
Suddenly, his eyes grow wide and he snaps his fingers. He undoes the rope tied around his backpack. "Azure! Maybe we can knock him down! Take one end and we'll charge him!"

The dwarf takes some of the rope and throws it to his companion.

Zarn hurls his dagger which slams into the golem, gouging its form the Azure sends a focused blast of arcane energy that sears the golem before catching the rope tossed to her by Jharib, who tries to keep its attention while evading.

Shifting its focus automatically to the latest threat the golem advances on Azure and tries to slam its fist into her. 1 damage. The golem is showing the damage you have dealt but it does not yet appear severe as it is still moving fast and strong.

OOC:

Typical damage stages of HP : unharmed 100%, lightly 99-76%, Moderate 75-51%, Severe 50-26%, Critical 25-1%
I do not usually mention damage levels until at least reaching moderate levels unless asked.

The rope is held by the two and with that good earlier roll you can either
1. have advantage on a single test use of the rope (trip, knock of balance to grant advantage on next action)
2. both roll a basic test for a more complex manure (restrain, roll it down the stairs, etc) allowing partial success for each success rolled
3. something else creative.

"Azure! Are you ok?" Jharib is trying to keep his cool, jumping his gaze between Azure and the golem. He knows his next move depends on her response.

Azure shakes her head trying to quickly recover.

Lets get it down!

Azure takes her end of the rope, and tries to sweep the golem's legs from under it.

After she waits for any extra input from Jharib.

OOC:

Using an action to try to trip the golem, then saving the second to aid with Jharibs next action with the rope.

Under the assault of the golem Azure has difficulty using the rope but Jharib is still able to take advantage of the situation and causes the loop of the rope to swipe the golems feet out from under it, knocking it off its feet entirely.

OOC:

If you have stated clearly your intended actions and I have OK'd them, as done here, then feel free to narrate results and continue your actions. Both Azure and Jharib have 1 more action and Zarn is still up with 2

"Azure! Lets subdue the golem. If it belongs to the guy who works here, I'm sure he wont be too happy we destroyed his work, especially since I'm not sure if it knows we are trying to help it's master."

Jharib attempts to tie up the golem. "It's ok, buddy. Your master is in trouble and we're here to help."

TADA! your rolls just have a sense of humor. You got double posted, happens with spotty internet connection, and your first has great rolls :)

The two quickly truss up the golem enough for Zarn to move over and add his larger frame and weight to the mix ensuring victory. The golem struggles a while before settling down and becoming still.

Zarn watched as the pair swiftly took down the golem.

"Impressive ... what do you think it was guarding?"

As Jharib touches the golem it thrashes a moment then still again and you notice it has frozen with its head looking at something. Some quick trials reveals it is fixated on Jharib, his pouch, and emptying it, the keys taken from the wizard. But it does not talk.

The fight was loud enough that you assume were there another golem patrolling the tower interior it would have come by now. You are currently on the 2nd floor of the wizards tower and have retrieved the rod as well as having found a vial and amulet. The rod and amulet seem related while the vial appears to be a protective potion, though you are uncertain.
