Tower to the Sky adventure, part 2.
The team traveled to the moonlit clearing to search for the four-leaf clover. While searching, a werewolf pack came charging to the attack! The lycanthropes had a number of wolves with them as well, and the pack closed ground as Goshik hurled a fireball into their midst. The party pulled forth silver daggers and met the beasts in a brutal battle in the shimmering moonlight. Elsbeth called down blasts of lightning from the sky as her own wolf tripped an enemy wolf to the ground. Reth and Kyras engaged in vicious close-quarters fighting, and Kyras suffered a nasty bite from one of the werewolves. Eventually the team took down the pack, retrieved the packlord’s heart and a four-leaf clover for the mysterious Oz. They returned to his cabin and woke him up which greatly annoyed him. He slammed his door in their faces. The next morning they tried again, and Oz was more receptive. He placed the heart in a box and then brewed some kind of tea with the clover. He then agreed to give them the information they needed. He directed them to the top of Rutger’s Climb in two days’ time and warned a clan of pegataurs would likely try to stop them from attaining the tower.
Sure enough, after a rough ascent, the team found themselves nearly at the peak when accosted by a trio of pegataurs! The winged centaurs fired arrows in the fierce winds to moderate effect. The team tried to fire back, but the wind was too strong. The pegataurs swept in, dropping their bows and drawing swords to charge in. Elsbeth stepped right in front of one, and he crashed into her! Both took damage from the impact. The team split in half, leaving their henchman priestess, Gretchen, alone. A pegataur attacked her, and she defended with her sword. Kyras and Elsbeth took on one pegataur and took him down while Goshik and Reth took down another. The team then closed in and defeated the third. Just in time, they ascended the mountain and made the leap up onto Pilvi’s magical inverted tower!
Atop (below?) the tower, the team found a trapdoor. When they tried to open it, a magical glyph flared to life and summoned a huge air elemental! The monster buffeted the team with its mighty fists. Goshik unleashed a fireball as Kyras tried to punch his way through the trapdoor. Reth and Elsbeth tried throwing alchemist’s fire, and Gretchen began healing and enhancing the party with her magic and urging them to fight for their lives! Kyras continued trying to open the door as the rest of the team took the fight to the elemental. Reth began to devastate it with his magical dagger while Goshik’s fire and Elsbeth’s lightning landing one-two punches over and over. Inspired, Kyras abandoned the door and moved into the fray. Finally, Reth managed to slay the creature, dismissing it back to its own plane!
