Journal:
The day has finally come. We are to set out once again for the tower. I pray fortune favors us. Elisen received a missive that required his attention, but he put us in contact with an acquaintance named Dalyor. He and a thief by the name of LaShana shall be accompanying me, Vralino, and A’horangi on our second attempt to reach the tower.
A'horangi and I have been doing some research on the tower. We believe the name is the Tower of B'Shon which was a shrine of Upandal. Its main function was as a testing ground for Questor hopefuls.
Thankfully, our trip remained uneventful until we reached the tower. The bandits were guarding the tower, but something was wrong. Their skin seemed rocky and they had crystal structures on their faces. Dalyor believes this is the influence of a Crystal Entity. He believes they made a contract with this entity for some kind of power. But what good is power you do not earn?
The vines we heard about seem to have covered the tower. Red crystals can be seen interspersed throughout them.
From our research we learned the tower's trials must be completed before sundown. We decide to rest and get an early start.
The inside of the tower was infested with the crystals as well as flesh beasts. The trials were much harder to complete while dealing with monsters constantly nipping at us. They even shredded my armor to pieces! The crystals seemed to corrupt our party members from the inside causing crystals to jut out from their bodies. After being afflicted with these, Vralino told us she heard voices that wanted to form a contract. I can't imagine that would have ended well.
After destroying all signs of the flesh beasts and crystal entity, we were able to reach the top of the tower. There I was able to commune with Upandal.
