Tower to the Sky adventure, part 1.
The party signed on for another quest on behest of Venture-Captain Jalden Krenshar of the Pathfinder Society. They set out to the nation of Andoran and the Darkmoon Woods hoping to find out a way to get onto the cloud tower of elementalist Samir Pilvi. Allegedly, this tower had flipped upside down and was protected by buffeting magical winds. However, every so many years from the proper mountain top, you could leap up onto the tower. The party was told to seek a hermit named Oz who supposedly knows which mountain the team needs to climb.
The team traveled to Andoran and headed toward the logging community of Falcon’s Hollow. Along the way, they were ambushed by a hunting wyvern! It poisoned Kyras and hurt him badly, but an antitoxin gave him the edge he needed to survive the injury. Goshik hit the creature with a fireball, and Valetin hit it with a magical frost sling stone. The wyvern landed and engaged Valetin in close melee. Reth charged in and cut it down with his punching dagger!
The party then came across an abandoned lumber mill. A man shouted out to warn them of some kind of sawdust creature that had just killed his friend! He then tried to flee but fell down and impaled his leg on a rusty gaff! Sure enough, a cloud of sawdust rose up and approached him! The team surged across the bridge to save him. Valetin summoned a celestial worker ant from the heavens, and it began fighting the sawdust slough. A hurled vial of alchemist’s fire burned the entity badly. Kyras was eventually able to bring it down, and then he quickly provided first aid to the man using his healer’s satchel. The man, Koljek, told them he was from Falcon’s Hollow and had come out here seeking anything he could salvage from the ruins with his friend Noren. Noren did not survive the sawdust. The party helped the man bury his friend, and they found several treasures in the weeds, remnants from previous victims.
Before long, the team arrived at Falcon’s Hollow and met the Sheriff. He told them how to find the old hermit, Oz. The group also went to the local temple of Iomedae to hire a cleric to help them in the endeavors. They agreed to hire on a young woman named Gretchen Silverhand.
The party traveled to meet Oz and found him an interesting character. He is perhaps a halfling who lives in an old shack under a rainbow. He sat on his porch blowing smoke rings while the team tried to convince him to aid them. Mostly, they annoyed him. Finally, he agreed to tell them which mountain if they agreed to the following terms: 1) pay him 500 gp, 2) retrieve his lost chest from a cave filled with black-furred creatures, 3) bring him a four-leaf clover picked under the light of the full moon in a nearby meadow, 4) bring him the heart of the werewolf packlord. The party agreed and set out in haste to the cave.
Much to their chagrin, the team discovered the black-furred creatures were giant skunks! The stinky monsters put up a vicious fight and sprayed musk all over the team. After a while, the team was able to defeat them and recover the chest. They returned it to Oz who opened it with glee. He unpacked a carefully padded tea set and made himself some tea.
