Dungeon Mastery: the ruins of OldTower

 

Oldtower sits on the centre of the village on a remnant granite boulder quarried for its stone to construct the tower above it.

The tower served as a barracks for the local lord's guardsmen and a prison. With the assassination of Lord Thorndyke the villagers have more need of the building stone to construct a village tavern than a prison. They would very much like the PCs to clear out the tower of any remaining guards who are attempting to set themselves up as the rulers of the village.

The tower itself has sustained damage during an attack, and the top half of the tower has shifted slightly.



The only way in is through stealth. A thief can scale the outer wall to any of the breaches in the exterior wall on the first and second levels.

The cage suspended from a timber beam contains a couple of hostage villagers (Klayr, the Miller's Daughter, age 12 and Wendl, the Smith's Son, age 14).

The Armoury (the cellar) contains a crate (200 crossbow bolts) and a chest with an earthquake spell trap, which if opened will cause the tower to collapse.
