R2T14: With a satisfied smile, Ago gives Visto a hearty thumbs up. Invigorated, he seeks to follow Tsyra into the room, but it is too crowded. He tries to do a sweeping gambit on Brown from across the doorway after he takes out his flail, but the door way throws off his attack.

R2T13-10: Red & Green both attack Tsyra to no avail.

R3T14: Ago takes a step into the room (directly below Sol), letting the power of the song flow through him. He lets out his own bellowing roar to embolden his allies before loosing a strike with his flail to knock down any zombie he can reach, and catching Brown in the gut with so wrecking a blow that Brown is destroyed. The zombie's destruction heartens the paladin, easing his flagging confidence from his failed attempt several seconds prior.

R3T10: Green, who seems to have been a gnome in life (and was able to fit in the smaller partial square), steps into the spot opened by Ago just now, attacking the paladin fruitlessly.

End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T23: Sol touches the gnome zombie with his burning hand to do 10 fire.

"They're surging out of the forest!" screams Sol as loud as he can so the ground floor can hear.

Ozzy hears a similar report.

"Their numbers have grown!" calls a very worried Samaritha.

The wave of monsters reaches the tower, the beasts scrambling up the sides and scratching at its foundations. To the heroes below (Visto, Ozzy, Tsyra), it is particularly unnerving. It sounds like the entire place is crawling with monsters, heard easily by all characters at all levels. The creatures hammer and claw and bite at the tower's windows and at the outer ground floor door. The window shutters can't hold forever, though they seems fairly strong for the moment. A shutter near Lev and Ago partially shatters, and a wriggling black tentacle whips around trying to feel things when Lev cuts it off and there's a a bunch of extra scrabbling only increasing now from greater numbers, but the battering outside all window shutters and doors do not lessen.

A few seconds later, that same window shutter - now weakened - blasts open right by Lev and Ago! What they see is something like a small (still Medium-sized), hairless, blue lion-like creature with twin tentacular tails. Dozens more thick tentacles quiver and twitch where its main should be!

The window aperture itself is not particularly wide for such a creature (or yourselves) to pass through easily, and it is struggling to get through.

Begin Round One ...

R1T26: "Did I just hear a breach?" calls down Sol.

R1T24: Ozzy, you didn't hear it the smashing window shutter two levels above, but Ginny just told you that the entire tower is covered in blue creatures, and it looks like they just opened a spot mid-tower. What do you do?

R1T19: Something occurs to Tsyra, but for the moment she waits to see how the attack progresses.

R1T14: The akata in the windowframe, wriggles around, unable to get farther into the room. It bites at the cyphermage standing there in shock, biting him in the upper left arm for 4.

R1T10: Kwava starts double-moving down the stairs.

R1T9: Lev, there is a monster (see pictures in Discord) stuck in the window, trying to push in, and it just bit a cyphermage. What do you do?

R1T9: Lev moves to block the aperture, but Ago is in the way. Lev can still reach to try to push the beast back out of the window, and as he does so, his mouth complete distends and changes form to now appear as a long, lupine muzzle with sharp teeth. His mouth easily presses against the monster to plunger the monster out the window easily! What makes this really creepy, though, and you (plural) are just now realizing it .... these monsters have NO vocalizations. No growls, yips, mews, roars, nothing. All is dreadful silence except the sounds of their claws on the stone outside. Lev searches his memories of tales and ballads so he can battle it more effectively.

R1T6: Ago, Lev-Wolf just reached past you and booped the critter out the window, but the sounds of clicking claws on stone through the wall tell you that there are scores waiting to take that one's place ... and who knows what is happening at other windows. What do you do?

R1T6: Ago takes just a second to absorb Lev’s appearance before turning back to the matter at hand. He begins barking out commands with an unshakable confidence that bolsters those nearby. ”Mages, away from the windows hide under a bed If you must! I swear by Abadar’s light you shall live to see tomorrow!”Entering a defensive posture, he reaches out his hand and fully heals the wounded mage.

R1T5-4: The mages all scram to clear the area for the heroes (incl. Samaritha).

End of Round: A tremor shakes the entire tower. It is bad enough to knock the poorly balanced Ago off his feet, as well as all of the Cyphermages (Samaritha keeps her feet, though). The tremor lasts only a few seconds, but afterward the tower has a barely perceptible lean to the south.

R2T25: Tsyra is visibly alarmed by the shaking of the tower. Once the tremor subsides she begins to examine the tower's walls, hoping to ascertain the integrity of the structure and the risk that it might topple over or collapse. Alarmed, she cries out, "Everyone out of the tower, it's going to collapse!" as she rushes over to the destroyed doorway.

R2T14: Everyone in every level hears the clawing and scrathing on stone from outside every wall and shutter throughout the tower. There are too many right now for one to even get to push into the window towards Ago right now.

R2T5-4: The Cyphermages get to their feet. Those on upper levels begin coming down, but the ones on the second don't pass Ago, though one from the highest level likewise doesn't try to push past Ozzy.

R3T25: Tsyra calls back to Santiago, "The mages can shelter in the entranceway! This tower is leaning to the south, and to the south is a cliff!"

She goes to adopt the scarlet einhander stance, but realizes she doesn't have a weapon in hand, so she prepares herself mentally to toss rocks if needed.

R3T24: Ozzy, you felt the loss of Ginny, and your bodies organs are enervated by the severance (1 CON). It could have been much worse, but in her dying moments she seemed to know and did a feedback of as much life energy as possible so you wouldn't be overwhelmed by the loss. What do you do?

R4T24: Ozzy moves into the room indicated by Tsyra. Standing in a defensive posture and readying his essence. Ozzy's strange footwear seems to disappear, even as a crown made of the elements and forged into an interwined, twisting web of crystalline structure adorns his brown.

R4T14: The continued noises of quiet clacking from the outside.

R4T10: Kwava puts his bow away to have his hands free.

R4T9: Lev, what do you do?

R4T9: Lev turns to the Cyphermages, "Hurry now! As many of you as can, take shelter where Tsyra indicated. If some of us must weather this out-of-doors, then it will be me." He moves to the middle door and opens it. It looks like with the lower floor of the tower and all internal parts of this adjoining building, there should be just enough room.

R4T5: The Cyphermages begin queuing up ... including one straggler that just gets to the ground floor now. However, nobody is brave enough to pass the protector at the head of the line (Lev).

R4T4: Samaritha makes it down to the ground floor.

R4T3: Ago, what do you do?

R4T3: Ago calls out. ”I’ll hold the stairs! Tsyra! How long do we have?”

As he prepares for battle some of Ago’s prowess rubs off on some of the allies that are able to hear him and see a quick demonstration (Visto, Kwava, Samaritha, Tsyra, and all but one cyphermage; Sol is not on this level, and Ozzy and Lev couldn't see him).

R4T2: Visto, what do you do?

R4T2: Visto waits, unwilling to leave before the mages get out. He turns to watch Ago while waiting for the others to get out.

R4T0: A second tremor shakes the tower. It quickly becomes apparent that this tremor is much more significant. Lev, Samaritha, Ago, & Tsyra all fall as the tower begins to sag to the southwest. (Amazingly, the cyphermages kept their balance.) A terrible noise like endless thunder growls louder by the moment. When Ago and Tsyra fell, it knocked them out of stance.

End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

R5T25: Tsyra, you fell down right at the doorjamb between the tower and its attached building. What do you do?

R5T25: Tsyra climbs to her feet and then steps out of the doorway to make room for more of the cyphermages. Eyes turned upward, she moves to stand beside Kwava. "I'd estimate a matter of seconds. Perhaps thirty at the very most."

R5T24: Ozzy, what do you do?

R5T24: Ozzy will wait to see what the monsters do and if the tower falls.

R5T14: The sound of innumerable, powerful claws climbing outside all exterior surfaces continues.

"Partial breach!" calls Sol's voice from somewhere upstairs, but shouted down the stairwell.

R5T14: Kwava instantly leaves his spot under the stairs, crosses the crowded room, and begins heading up the stairwell.

R5T9: Lev, you are prone right now. What do you do?

R5T9: Lev crawls back to his feet, "Is everyone ok?" A soft white glow surrounds his hands as he seeks to help others to their feet, though the two people near him are fine, so he moves into the main tower. "I can help with healing if anyone is hurt."

R5T5-4: The cyphermages delay, as nobody is "leading" them out the monster-infested outdoors. The same with Samaritha.

R5T0: The ground gives way. The stone tower topples on its side, throwing every creature against the (now horizontal) western wall ... except for Ozzy and a cyphermage who were in the adjoining building to the east. Everyone is technically "prone." Lev takes 1. Samaritha takes 2.

Ozzy, roll a Ref save to avoid being swept away by the landslide!
