After the resounding defeat of the Witherlings, our heroes decided to continue up the tower to see what awaited them, although Zarek could hear a slight pinging of stone on stone from outside. On the next floor up, they found a room full of armor and weapons. With a glint in their eyes, the party decided to check the room out and see what they could find. After a couple of hours of searching, the group turned up quite a number of magical items and a decent sized chest of gold. Unfortunately, the chest was trapped and Andina took a little bit of acid to the face.

After looting the room, the party noticed that night had fallen outside. However, a eerie glow was coming in through the windows. Nala and Zarek braved a peek outside and saw the landscape covered in flames. The party decided to continue up the tower, but, before they could make it to the stairs, they were attacked by fiery creatures from the outside. A group of Fire Bats harried the heroes from above while Flamespikers finished climbing the tower walls and entering the room. Although tired, our heroes managed to hold their own against the elementals and have finally decided to rest for a while.
