The party donned the clothing of the slain Pale Tower guardsmen and bluffed their way in the front gate of the Pale Tower. Within they found a courtyard with an elaborate ice dragon sculpture surrounded by kennels. A large female ice troll emerged from one and began to sniff the party. She attacked in a rage when she realized dwarves were among them. Her rending claws caused horrific damage, and the team’s blades cut its flesh, but its regeneration quickly healed them. The team rallied and beat her to the ground where Argun was able to use produce flame to burn it up.
The team rushed through the doors into the tower proper. They stood around for a few moments allowing a force of guards to rally and attack. The sergeant stepped up and went toe-to-toe with Magnus. He was impressed with her stature and moxie right up until she ran him through with her blade. It broke his heart, but he had to cut her down. Svala drank her flask of whiskey and charged recklessly into the fray as Argun grew tusks and started goring with wild abandon. Kenwrec and Tulvur swept across the room taking out the rest.
From beyond another door, they could hear men struggling into armor. Wasting no time, Magnus kicked open the door, and the team swarmed through. The team fell upon the disadvantaged guardsmen and cut them down as they pulled swords from scabbards. The fighting was one-sided and swift leaving devastation in its wake.
