Devious serpent folk devoid of compassion, yuan-ti manipulate other creatures by arousing their doubts, evoking their fears, and elevating and crushing their hopes. From remote temples in jungles, swamps, and deserts, the yuan-ti plot to supplant and dominate all other races and to make themselves gods.
It is plain to be seen to Mordekii that the runes have an arcane purpose. After a moment or two of studying them, he discovers that they are used for summoning.

Seeing as Asp and Mordekii have entered the spire, they see everything in the text below:
"The ground floor of the sire is a large circular room hewn from the rock and decorated with infernal runes. Two torches burn in sconces on either side of the entryway. In the center of the room is a stone spiral staircase leading upward. The roof is supported with columns, decorated with coiled serpents."

"I think these writings are a part of some kind of summoning ritual or process. If our 'friend' back there is any indicator of what they may, be or have been, used for, I hope we survive to find out."
Mordekii approaches Durkslag and peers into the tower.
"Do you see anything? Do you think its safe to go in?"
Gwythian enters the spire just behind the others and tries to stay unnoticed.

Suddenly, a slimy, fat, flesh-colored blob shaped like a serpent slides down the spiral staircase and upon touching the floor, separates into six muddy creatures with a vague humanoid shape.

Durkslag recognizes the creatures as lemures: another form of devil.
In response to Durkslag and Asp's attempts to communicate, they respond with a "Griblguukgablgub" and they scurry towards you.

Mordekii examines the devil as he makes his way over to the tower.
"This is bad....As many people liked to remind me growing up, 'nothing good ever came from dealing with devils'."
Mordekii makes his way to the outside of the tower to see if there is anything he can make out from the heavily worn writings/glyphs.

So, is everyone entering the spire?

Mordekii turns to Asp and says.
"I think these writings are a part of some kind of summoning ritual or process. If our 'friend' back there is any indicator of what they may, be or have been, used for, I hope we survive to find out."
Mordekii approaches Durkslag and peers into the tower.

hearing what Asp said about traps and structural integrity, Mordekii slowly steps back away from the entrance to the tower.
"ahh, maybe someone a little... stronger... tougher, should go first"
Mordekii looks around at everyone else, to see what they decide to do.

While the others make their way inside, Deryck would like to scout the outside of the for any other features, runes or possible entry ways
