The group went up the stairs and found a room with two jade statues that animated and attacked! One ripped into Levi, wounding him to the edge of death. Valor smashed one with his sword when suddenly magic missiles ripped into the team! Golthar fled through a secret door and up another stairwell while the remaining statue continued to rain down blows. The second statue was shattered, and the group sped across the room in pursuit of the fleeing wizard.
They got to the top floor in time to see Golthar flying off through a shattered window, and they lobbed ranged attacks at him but missed. The group talked to Stephan and learned about a tapestry at Sukiskyn that might be part of a long lost map! They ransacked Golthar’s quarters and found a chest filled with a huge fortune in gold and gems. Levi was able to read an old scroll and confirm that the tapestry will reveal a map when combined. In another container they found the silver needle and golden thread!
A crash resounded, and the team remembered the minotaur! They debated strategy a moment and thought about trying to descend ropes outside the tower, but the 1,000 pounds of gold was a problem. Levi set a snare under a sheet on the floor, and the rest of the team pushed the heavy bed to the window and tied the rope to it. When the minotaur ascended the stairs, Arminious began taunting it and talking about its mother. Enraged, the minotaur began to charge! The pulled the rope, and the snare closed on its leg. A mighty shove pushed the bed through the window, and for a moment the minotaur stared in disbelief. It then found itself on its back and flying across the flagstones! Its sword clattered down the stairs as the minotaur whipped out the window and followed the bed all the way down to the crashing ground!
With the minotaur dead, the group packed up the treasures and fled down the stairs to try and escape the tower and Xitaqa!
