"A rightful place awaits you in the Realms Above, in the Land of the Great Light. Come in peace, and live beneath the sun again, where trees and flowers grow."

Yup, just the tall one with the puppet theater in her dress and the veil, who claims to see the future.
"He is a minion of the dark queen of demons, who has twisted thus land with illusions a d lies. For years beyond your Ken have my sisters and I resided here and this usurper has been recruiting lackeys like this to oppose any who would challenge her unjust rule." She replies.
Trisk find within the tower, a study. The hole in the north wall appears on the landing between two staircases, one leading up and the other leading down.
<there's really nothing else to do except go up or down or interaction s with Endelyn.>
Now that the knight is securely tied off to a permanent structure, Uriel goes the rest of the way up and joins Trisk in the study with the hag. He watches and listens, uncertain of how to handle this situation and worried that his allies are spread too thin throughout the castle to mount an effective counterattack should someone they encounter prove hostile.

Well, there's stairs that go up and stairs that go down. It's a continuous spiral around the inside of the tower wall. A hag and an exploded section of wall at the landing.
Do you want to go up or down and apply that perception to whatever is there?
"If you can foresee the future or all that is to come as you have said then does the dark queen eventually get overthrown?"
"It has already come to pass, child" comes the matter-of-fact response. With this, she gestures at the time frozen knight, suspended over the court of storms.
(ooc: I was unsure of which direction the study was... or thought it might be near the opening... I guess Trisk would first explore upward once entering the tower.)

The door at the top of the stairs is sealed with a crown lock bearing a lion silhouette.
<sorry to waste yiur time, there was like a 40% chance it would be open, bjt alas, it is not. Im just going to swnd you down, instead. If it worked out, it would have been pretty neat.>
Descending the spiral.staors, Trisk finds the castles throne room.
A ring of marble pillars sculpted with images of fairies and demons supports the arched ceiling of this circular chamber. Seven archways spaced evenly around the room’s perimeter lead to empty turrets with tall, stained-glass windows set in their walls. Each window bears the image of a knight in armor.
Near the middle of the room, a short, gray-bearded man in black robes reclines on a gilded wooden throne with clawed feet. The man grips the leashes of three small, scaly, birdlike creatures. A muscular, armored man stands next to the throne. He wears a helm that conceals his face except for his red, glowing eyes; the sword he holds is wreathed in flames.
A statue of an unarmored elf stands in front of the throne. The statue is posed as if ready for battle, with a shortsword gripped tightly in each of its hands.
(a good perception check earlier, applied here, reveals rhe presence of someone crouched behind the throne, as well)
<This could be a good time to figure out exactly who, among the PCs, is here. Looks like Trisk and Uriel, for certain. Picollo, i think is over in the white room (no black curtains). Not 100% sure kf anyone else, except Sam.>
(If there is a door bearing the image of a crown, Uriel will try and open it, even if it initially seems locked. He is hoping this crown he got will be good for something).

the tiny girl takes one of the custom tailored outfits and places it in her bag. She removes a gold piece and puts it in the room in trade. The tiny girl quickly moves to the next available door, listens and looks for traps, and then carefully opens the door. (perception: 19) She seems both curious, and as if she is looking for something.
In this red-bedecked room, Picollo finds a high elf noble with long hair standing in the middle of the room. The elf is holding a crystal goblet of water. Tied to his belt is a glass-handled rapier. A goblin stands next to him, holding a tray with a decanter of water on it.
Trisk will examine the locked door after going up the tower and finding it locked. Is there a keyhole? How much space is there from the bottom of the door to the floor? He will also call out which way he went for Tesservett, Uriel, and any others in his group who are not with him but might end up following him.

Can items such as the rapier be taken, as long as the rules of trade apply, and is the elf and goblin frozen?
"Creatures in temporal stasis, as well as anything they are carrying or wearing, can’t be harmed or moved until the magic on them is ended."

<this is tricky. I'm going g to say yes here, but I don't want this to be precedent for other situations that generally fall under 'worn or carried' descriptors as exemptions to spell effects. But I'm ruling that you can remove the sword while the elf is still in stasis.>

All the doors with crown locks are magically secured. There's not some trick one of the most powerful ancient wish granting spell casters in the multiverse overlooked when she made the lock.
<That said, it's not the highest level security if it's Boolean. It's meant to grant access conditionally. You would surmise or at least guess this to he the case, given what you've seen.>
Now, that that's settled, I've already narrated what's down. I'm calling g ir we got an illusion wizard with a guy wearing a crown in tow and possibly a scribes wizard Descending into a room with a guy on a throne and armored guy with glowing g eyes and a flaming sword and someone hiding behind d the throne.
If you don't want to chat, you'll need to roll stealth to avoid detection.
Using fast hands, Piccolo takes the interesting rapier, instantly replacing it with a small dagger she had in her bag. She has many random things in her bag as wherever she goes, she grabs things and puts them in her bag. She never knows when she might need something.
She decides to help the hungry giant, and tries to find a kitchen and cake. She will dash and use cunning action to move again, moving 60-80ft rd, searching for cake, smelling, looking. If she helps her, maybe the giant will help Piccolo in return, she reasons, and being there aren’t many that seem animated now, she could use a good friend.
Piccolo was very good at making friends, she knew she was cute, maybe irresistible, and could get people to do things she wanted.

It's an extremely useful crown. Kinda curious what the guy on the throne makes of it. But nothing happens to the door <it's not a direct interaction>.
