The stairs and rails are built of timber planks, silver with age, and climb haphazardly through a series of railed landings on their winding ascent. In some places the stairs and landings are secured directly to the rock face, and in others they hang free upon wooden supports and buttresses driven into the rock. Lichens and moss cover the stairs and rocks, with pale vines, roots, and blooms of nightshade, willowherb, and bog tea sprouting from occasional crevices in the stone.<br/><br/>The group makes the climb without incident, the sun dipping behind the nearby cliff, and casting the whole climb in shadow, with a chill wind that seems to bite through clothing. As they near the final landing, and the entrance to the building, however, a black-clad figure leaps from a concealed vantage point, and lands behind them, while two more figures at the top appear, and fire blowgun darts at Rimeera!<br/><br/>(20 and 12 to hit flat-footed, for 10 damage, and a fort save of 20 vs. poison)
