The Broken Tower Bridge
A ruined tower bridge three hours from Shadowdale, where the creek is crossed by laid logs now. Cultists in leather and scimitars held the near tower, and Mardon Rueh and Wendy Rueh held the far one, along with Adon Twirtho in the dungeon below, under the creek. First dungeon of the campaign.
Layout So Far
- The near tower. Huge cracks in the walls, wide enough to walk through. Three men in leather armor with scimitars and small bows. We cleared it in Session 1 - To New Beginnings. Offsha Di'aylen stayed up here as our lookout.
- The stairs down. Lead to hallways of rooms, apparently empty. Brok Digginstone found the party's first treasure there (see the Dalelands Party Inventory).
- The long tunnel under the creek. Runs from the near tower beneath the creek to the far tower. A room off the tunnel near the far tower holds the cell where we found Adon Twirtho.
- Two stairways down. At the halfway point, between the two towers, two stairways lead further down. Unexplored. Ask the Ruehs.
- The far stairs. Near the foot of the staircase leading up, two rooms with bedding pallets. Just bedrolls, and nothing alive in either.
- The creaky doors. At the top of the stairs, a large set of wooden double doors that creak loudly, with a second set behind them.
- The foyer. The main floor of the far tower, an odd-shaped room with five more doors and an exterior entrance. Voices behind two. The Ruehs stepped out of one of them, and the fight with their mercenaries happened here in Session 2. Offsha Di'aylen burst in through the exterior door after crossing the creek on the surface.
[!question] Open questions
- Where do the two stairways at the halfway point lead?
- What lies behind the remaining doors?
