Si'Juul then steps outside the tower again and begins flying up to the top once more but with his back to the tower. Once at the top he will turn around after any sound or flash of the blindness trap.
Si'Juul flies back up, eyes carefully turned away from the tower. As he turns back, eyes closed, he can see the blazing brightness shining steadily right through his closed eyelids. He realizes that there is no 'trap' here. He simply carelessly approached and accidentally stared into the light on top of the lighthouse, a magical miniature sun enchanted to be seen for miles over the sea, and definitely NOT intended for close-up viewing without maybe a welder's mask or at least a pair of shades.
Does Si'Juul want to open his eyes and stare into the radiance again? If he wants to peek carefully through his feathers, roll a perception check with disadvantage.

He can see that the tower roof is covered by a large, overhanging metal shield, shaded by a smaller shield above, which is held up by three metal ladders sloping up around its edge. Above the small shield is floating the permanent fireball that is the lighthouse's lamp. You notice that although literally blindingly bright, it does not give off much heat.

With his hands still blocking the light, Si'Juul will will look down at the ground for a hatch, trapdoor, stairwell, whatever the case, leading down into the tower.
There are no hatches on the upper plate. Once you are closer, you can see that most of the shadowed space between the upper and lower plate is blocked by a huge construct of mud and sticks. It looks like you could climb up the side and get in between the sticks and the upper plate...if you really want to.

Si'Juul will slowly and carefully move towards the bundle of sticks and mud, grab the nearest stick poking out and wiggle against the rest of the mess to check if anything is dwelling within. If there's nothing of note then Si'Juul will fly back down to the group.

Inside the tower, Twitch, Paren and Elhanna hear a shot and a horrible, piercing screech outside.

The creature gives a squawk of pain and rage and disengages, taking off into the air.

Paren looks to the cleric. "Any chance you can get her back on her feet? It's not that I don't trust my skills but yours are much better."

"Oh yes, of course.." Elhanna immediately take out her healing kit and starts to patch Twitch up.
She will stabeliza and bring her to 1hp and then use one round of her healing kit to heal her 7
OOC: damn that healers feat is amazing. it heals more then my healing spells XD
Si'Juul gives a nod after Twitch is revived.
"Good...."
Si'Juul then steps outside the tower again and begins flying up to the top once more but with his back to the tower. Once at the top he will turn around after any sound or flash of the blindness trap.

Si'Juul will turn around and have his arms up in front of his face as he looks around.

You land on the tower, then?

So the top of the tower is completely cutoff from everything in it?
As far as you can tell.

Paren looks up. "Well that's not great." He heads back outside to see what's going on.

Paren sees Si'Juul come charging into the tower, bloody, as a huge dragon-bird thing scrabbles at him from outside the door.

As Si'Juul dashes in he turns and fires at the beast, breathing hard as some of his feathers are stained red.

Si'Juul keeps his gun aimed at the door for several moments in case one of them comes back.
