“Okay that wasn’t exactly the plan but whatever.” Angel says as he leads the others to the Southeast Tower.
Perception: 18
The foyer door is still open, letting daylight into the room and lighting up a door on the far side of the entryway. This door leads to the southeast tower, the closest one to the village. Leading up is a tight, spiraling stone staircase.
The staircase has multiple exits, all of which require darkvision or a light source to see: a small door, open, leading to the second floor, another small door, closed, leading to the third floor, and what looks to be a trap door to the roof.
If you peer through the open door into the second floor you will see a mess of cobwebs, leading north and west, down completely dark corridors.
Opening the door that leads past the alcove in the dining room, dim light filters into the alcove. You see a spiral staircase that leads up a short ways before opening up into broad daylight. This section of tower is ruined, and along its tall broken walls are several bird nests. You can just reach the second floor landing by climbing on top of the crumbling tower stones, where there is a closed door.
Down on the bottom of the staircase, Marav notices evidence of a secret door, a trapdoor that probably leads down underground. The door in the floor has a thick, black iron pull-ring, and looks like it hasn't been used in some time.
"The door and floor are covered in dust, I think that suggests that no one has passed this way in a long time." Marav tells Ink. Maybe we should catch up with the others?
"The wight has the ability to teleport across short space, but I doubt that it can take its servant with it when it does... I think you're right. For now, let's return to the others, but I'll mark this place as something we should investigate carefully in the future - particularly what may be behind the secret door."
Ink marks the secret door, using an arrow as a makeshift marker.
//Actually missed that message where you said you'd go with Flint, lol... oh well I'll roll with it, fits the current storyline :)//
