The party has rested up and resupplied at the Keep and making plans for their next move.

"Tower or find those other secret doors? I suppose we could start digging, if anybody feels like doing that kind of work."
*looks at Grumni*
"The gold is coming pretty steady, the idea of digging in the dirt doesn't really appeal to me right now."

The hob is proudly wearing his new cloak and seems unable to suppress a grin.
"Well, I'm thinking we should wrap up our business with this Necromancer -- or at least confirm he has left the area. I know searching through all these caves is slow going, but we can probably skip the caves that are lairs for other creatures; I don't think he would be hiding amongst them. In fact I get the feeling they want him dead as much as we do."
"Oh, and if Mendle isn't pulling my leg, those darn blood sucking, strength sapping birds ain't going to be bothering me no more. He claims this cloak will protect me from those nasty effects -- I'm hoping he is right."

Grumni shrugged thoughtfully.
"Seems Rand's been wanting ter tackle the tower ever since the penny pincher told us about it. Perhaps its time ter take a look but if it ain't there I'll not be hanging around out in the open on the top of yonder hill. Not while that dragon's still a possible threat, that's a sure fire way ter end up dead."

*Rand looks closely at Rolo's new cloak*
"If this does work, let me know, I hate them damned birds. Mini-vampires is more like it.
I'm with Grumni. If we get there and the tower is playing hard to get, I ain't sticking around sharpening my sword waiting for it."

Eli pondered what the others had said. "I understand your feelings but I would like to know how this Tower keeps disappearing and why. Whatever the reason, there can be no doubt that powerful magic lies behind the effect. Powerful magic means powerful mages and we already know what one of those can do."

The party entered the mists passing thru the illusionary tower and found themselves transported the grounds of an ancient tower surrounded by a forcefield. After exploring the grounds, the party has ventured into the caverns and crypts below, and have just descended a long winding staircase leading deeper beneath the tower.

Grumni huffed and puffed as he ran to catch up with the rest of the group.
"Me legs are too short fer this." He grumbled between gasps of air.

Rand waits at the bottom of the stairs, looking at the door awaiting them.
"I'm starting to wonder if the man on the roof is a prisoner, more than an inhabitant. That crackling blue energy seemed to keep him from coming out to greet us. And I do think he wants to greet us. When we finally come face to face, I'm not giving him a chance to try and talk."
Looks at Rolo, Eli and Grumni.

"eh, why's that Rand? You thinking he may be a prisoner ... then why not let him talk if he wants to? Or do you think he might me a mage and will attempt to use sorcery on us? Perhaps Eli here can do something about that ...?"
"I certainly don't have any qualms about fighting things that attack me -- but to initiate an unprovoked attack on another who may be a victim of circumstances ... not certain that I want to do that ... seem rather ruthless." A slight frown crosses the hob's lips.
"I'll leave the decision to you though; however, just think we may want to actually find this fellow or learn more about him and this tower before we make any hard decisions on how to deal with him -- unless you know something that I don't?"

"I think that prisoners get what they deserve. That ..... ghost didn't look friendly in the least.
I'm just thinking that if we open that door and can't control that thing. We may have loosed a worse blight on the lands than the dead cultist's and bandits were combined."
"I'm not saying we should turn around, I just want you all to know that I'm not getting happy thoughts of this place. Meaning, I'm not waiting to be attacked if I see something that may try to kill me, or worse. And that includes the guy on the roof."
*eyes the door, not really looking at the others at this point*

Having finally caught up Grumni leaned against the wall wheezing.
"Seems ter me we don't know enough about the strange business ter be letting folks ot of magical prisons on a whim." The dwarf said between gulps of air. He wiped the sweat from his brow before continuing.
"He could be that God, Meekler or whatevr it was them statues were on about fer all we know. Have we seen everywhere else there is down 'ere yet?"

"I understand your concerns and I agree, we should proceed cautiously. But first things first. We have to find out what is causing that energy field to exist in the first place and why this Tower appears and disappears as it does before we go and tamper with it," said Eli

The dwarf looked thoughtful.
"Fair enough. I ain't seen any of the treasure that penny-pincher was going on about though. I'm thinking we've been sent on a fool's errand here and I don't like being anyone's fool."

Rolo chuckled at Grumni's comment. "Aye Master Grumni -- to be fair though, I believe Mendle indicated the books were perhaps 'inside' the tower -- and we haven't gotten in yet."
"So, you're thinking this whole tower may be a prison of some sort? Gosh, hadn't really considered that. If so, then you are likely correct, we don't want to be letting things out that were put here for a reason."

The party has looted the wizard's tower and stopped for a short rest on the way back out after fending off some rust monsters.

The hob stopped for a moment, considering the path through the pits that lie ahead. "Erm ... can we take a moment to consider our options?"
"We know that we are inside that tower that we had seen -- and it seems we've uncovered a fair amount of loot. But, I am certain we have not uncovered all of its secrets."
"We have seen what, four levels of this tower? I think we've pretty much covered the bottom portion, but what of the rest of it? We know there is a roof -- Rand saw a person on it. Somehow the bottom has to be connected to the top -- and we have not discovered that connection."
"There are two more of those dimensional doors above as well -- We've really only tested one of the three; the one on the North wall that sends us back to the bottom -- perhaps we should check the two on the East wall as well?"
"So, I'm thinking seeings as we are here now, we might want to give this tower one finally "look-over'. I know that once I head down that pit filled corridor, I don't think I'll want to return -- if we even get the opportunity."
"I'm sort of wishing we had asked those lasses a few relevant questions -- they may have been able to provide more help that this cloak."

"That's a good idea Rolo, there is probably something we've missed," said Eli.

"I'm thinking there's a door we missed back before those stinky pits and we'll come across it again shortly." The dwarf replied crestfallen at the thought of traversing the the traps ahead.
"It's alright for you humans and our resident trap expert hobbit, me legs are too short and me armour's too heavy fer me ter jump out of 'em."
