The Master and the Minion - IC Thread
Tavana:
"Agreed. This may simply be the result of some sort of pact they have with a highly magical being. Or perhaps something more. We shall have to investigate this as we progress further. Do be careful though, Ma'Kirr. It would be most upsetting if the keeper of this tower was able to somehow resurrect these creatures from their orbs and we simply took him more ammunitions. That being said, I agree that studying them should be advantageous." Saliak completes checking over his armor and weapons, and turns to the others. "I am rested sufficiently. Shall we proceed?"
Madtrixr:
"I'm ready" Aden says with a stern look. He looks at the other members "how about you all?"
Xander Morhaime:
The stairs leading up into the tower proper did not seem terribly inviting - mostly on account of the smell wafting down from the higher levels, and the darkened sections of stair between each landing and turn. Still, your ultimate prize lay at the top, and so you began the ascent.
The stairwell was quite large and spacious, moving from one flat platform to the next, always turning to the right. The platforms themselves were lit by statues of demons holding braziers in their claws, and what light got in through the windows - through them you could see the dark clouds gathering around the tower, lit by the occasional flash of lightning, and could see the rain falling down. Each window also meant a momentary reprieve from the stench that increased in strength the higher you went. On the inner corner of each landing, there was also a statue of a figure in armour bearing a weapon - the design of the armour, and that of the weapon varied between the statues, though.
The smell, reminding you of rotting flesh and fish heads, was getting almost overpowering when you found two pairs of glowing yellow eyes watching you from the top of the next stair, and found a pair of spears pointed down in your general direction. Two more of the phalanx goblins stood there, barring your way further up the tower, and looking quite braced for defence.

The bits to the side of the stairs represent small alcoves lining the walls. Difficult terrain to stand on if you want to climb up there for any reason, same goes for the inner corner statues. The fire statues are impassable, as are the pillars in the outer corners of each landing.
Malek Deneith:
- More of these, eh? - Ryltar moves to the center of nearby landing and points at one phalanxs who gets suddenly lit by halo of purple lights - You, yes you! Care to help me? Catch!
Yet another time the drow opens up with a shuriken throw.

Tavana:
"I shall attempt to draw their attention, there may be more to this than we are aware of. Tread carefully." The dragonborn's mouth starts to crackle as he steps towards the goblins.
