| - | Once safely inside Rog tears into each of them. Even the smallest of them make it through without rousing the bodies from their sleepwalk. Now he will have to stay the evening before he can leave. He tells them they are on his own from here. He just points out the direction of the other door while building a fire from [[lore:white adler]]. He says the ash from the wood heals the sickness from the bodies and the smoke keeps the mistress away. | + | Once safely inside Rog tears into each of them.

| Keribrar and Anne get curious and look around The Tower. The sensation of magic is overwhelming and probably leads to the unusual construction. The tower has several "branches" that just jut out from random locations. There are no interior walls, but stairs that rise to the top; although most are too damaged to climb.

| - | The damage to the node and tree passes and Quilate flies down. He wakes Anne, Keribrar and Hafwyn from the ordeal. Thorne and Seirian wake themselves from their visit to the [[lore:fae lands]]. The magic has changed the chamber and exposed five arches along the walls. While Keribrar and Quilate examine them, Hafwyn confides in Anne that she is no longer a [[lore:Dark Elf]]. She is not really sure what she is anymore. Keribrar figures out how to open the door and there is a hallway on the other side. | + | The damage to the node and tree passes and Quilate flies down.

| Each of the doors leads into the same hallway that circles the tree room. The only other way out is a door that leads to a hallway. Iron rods as thick as a human's forearm are drive in a triangular pattern down the hallway. Each set getting closer and closer to the previous set. When they are nearly touching the tunnel ends in a door.

| Before the battle begins a richly appointed dwarf comes out of the longhouse in the center of the town. He wishes to parley with the group and has his second bring a small table and two chairs. The dwarves are here at the behest of the [[lore:Earthmother]] to heal the wrong that was done to this land.
