The party emerged from the library into the room at the base of the tower and were immediately engaged by 4 men. (These would later be identified by Namfoodle as the horsemen from a few sessions back).
Rosie’s spider form didn’t last long so she turned into a bear. As the men were being dispatched, an angry Minotaur emerged from upstairs and set about attacking the Rosie-bear and was soon grappled by her and everyone piled on. It finally destroyed her bear form so she slapped him a final indignity that cause it to die. Possibly of shame.
The group decided to proceed upstairs. A dormitory was discovered, presumably where the men slept. After a brief interlude as the party attempted to open a locker (solved by Xianti going downstairs to find a key on one of the men) they continued upstairs.
The next floor was apparently a large empty room but was soon discovered to have an invisibility effect. Ham walked into an invisible wall so the party conga-lined it around the room to get to the next stairs, which were luckily not invisible.
At this point they had been around what appeared to be a room in the centre of the tower so they decided to backtrack and discovered an unconscious body. Removing it from the room revealed it to be Stephan, at last. After being healed, he urged them to continue upstairs to defeat the wizard who was the ringleader.
After a brief debate, they decided to continue upstairs whilst send Stephan back downstairs to Droop.
Upstairs was revealed to be some king of gallery with a couple of pink jade statues of jackal headed men and a number of paintings. Unlike other statues in the tower these ones did animate as the party passed by and attacked. Meanwhile from behind one of the paintings a spell was fired at Rosie (who was a bear again).
The angry Roaie charged at the painting shredding it with her claws but the person behind it had moved. An electrical charge sizzled from the canvas but caused no damage. Ham noticed that the other painting were also sparking slightly.
The battle continues…
