<strong>The Watchtower - For all those that approach</strong><br/><br/>The watchtower had been built of stone originally, but the building was old and damaged by weather and wear alike. Wooden beams lined large cracks trying to cover up the tower's damage, and keep it together. It was obvious that the building had fallen to a state of disrepair a fair while ago already, but at least near the bottom the damage was moderate. Higher up, the old watchtower's stone was replaced by more and more wood, and a lot of that was worn, darkened wood that had endured many storms before already.<br/><br/>Towering on the small island and reaching 50 feet up by its stone base, the last 30 feet of the structure was wooden in making, planks and boards hammered together somewhat hap-hazardly. How that had stood in the previous storm was anyone's guess, but the missing planks and broken pillar showing on the side told volumes of just how stable the building's top was now.<br/><br/>The tower itself was built on a square base, its four walls rising the same width from base to the top, 20 feet by 20 feet, the tower's slim tall build should have left it even more vulnerable to storms than some builds, but flying up closer towerds the top, a silence was all that greeted the flying crowd.<br/><br/>There was a large pedestal of stone there, on the wooden floor, the roof torn away and the side walls of the top floor partially crumbled, the window-spaces holding onto the rotten wood frames but whatever glass there had been was gone. On the pedestal, a brazier sat with several runes across it, but alongside lay three men, speared by rotten wood, caught partially under debris of stone and wood alike, and burnt by what must have been fine lamp oil not long ago. The scent of death was in the air.<br/><br/>((OOC: Anyone who flies up there, go ahead and make spot checks, the DC for the check starts at 20, 25 gives a bit more detail though. I'll send details after getting the rolls))
