Fireday Lamashan 18 around 10am
Both Budwar and Preacher had dreadful dreams of their groups death at the hands of whomever ruled the clock tower. Preacher had a sense that Pharasma wasn't ready for him yet, he still needed to find out the cause of so many souls not reaching her. Budwar knew that planning and strategy would be the key to winning the battle.
Approaching the tower with care, they saw it was in poor condition. A hole about 200 feet up had a rickety scaffolding built to another higher hole. They entered the clock tower and inside was some damage rooms with an unstable staircase winding its way up. They inspected the staircase and made sure to spread out to avoid having too much weight in one place.
About halfway up, they heard a bell fall and everyone scrambled to get out of the way, but Phain, who was walking on the wall with his boots, could not avoid it and got clipped by it. Seeing 3 more bells above, they decided to get out of the tower and come up with a new plan.
The new dwarven scholar cast enlarge and spider climb, and had the other carried up to the top. In the uppermost room was a silk bed and other out of place comforts. Suddenly a demon appeared, but Phain recognized it as an illusion. Phain also found a spot with a silence on it and dispelled it. Suddenly, a snake like creature appeared in the air and a strange snake like mask with green glowing eyes shot something at Preacher, but he wasn't affected. The group summoned some monsters and the enlarged fighters attacked. Niorg used the wand and dispelled the flying while the rest of the group hammered her down. She used a large spear, and when it hit it made a wailing sound, but on her third hit on the paladin, she killed him and the spear wailed even louder. Everyone, shocked but the death of the paladin rallied and killed her.
The group found a bunch of papers containing names of people targetted for the "Sihedron Ritual", including the Lord Mayor. Also they found a note from Xanesha's sister with more information.
Heading back to the Lord Mayor's house, they informed him that he was targeted for assassination, he offered the party 6,000gp each for their role in making Magnimar safe, as well as officially giving them the Aldern townhouse.
Going back to the church of Torag to raise the Paladin from the dead, they clerics informed them that Budwar's soul was not willing to return as he died gloriously saving the lives of his companions. Phain made an impassioned speech to get the cleric to convince Budwar's soul to be willing, but with no luck. Little did Phain and the rest know that there was another that overheard him....
