Rilithorne's Tower
Rilithorne is a wizard. He lives in his tower, several blocks from the Red Dragon Inn, where he also conducts magical experiments. Once, when an experiment went awry, Rilithorne was trapped. A group of adventurers came by and saved him.
- The tower of Rilithorne the Mage is several city blocks from the Red Dragon Inn.
- Rilithorne�s tower has a sign out front reading, "Rilithorne, Mage. Commissions welcome, inquire within. Please knock before entering."
- The door to Rilithorne�s tower opens into a well furnished waiting room.
And here's a description of that waiting room:
Entering the tower, you find yourselves in a plush waiting room. Three different couches are artfully aranged around a coffee table, which sits upon an expensive looking rug. A small pedestal dominates the northernmost portion of the room, and a featureless puppet rests limply upon it.
The walls are hung with 3 paintings, one of which appears to be a portrait of a Human Wizard of about 30 to 40 years. The other two are landscape scenes, one of a snow covered mountain and another of a country road in fall, with leaves in many colors.
As you enter the room, the puppet twitches, and suddenly transforms into the torso of what would appear to be some sort of buttler or servant. It looks you over thoughtfully, and then begins to speak.
"Welcome, all. I am afraid the Wizard Rilithorne is unavailable at this time. In fact, I must sadly inform you that containment measures are in effect. Please do not proceed further into the tower without authorization. May I assume you are present in the capacity of customers?"
- The security system at Rilithorne�s tower includes a one-way force barrier that keeps things inside the tower.
- The south wall of the waiting room of Rilithorne�s tower is about 1/4 of a circle, and contains the door from which the party entered the tower. There are internal doors in the northeast and northwest walls.
- In Rilithorne�s tower, the master's study is to the immediate west, the kitchen lies to the east of the waiting room.
- The study in Rilithorne�s tower contains a desk, a few comfortable chairs, a rack on the wall containing scrolls and potions, a bookshelf full of books, a pedestal that usually holds a suit of armor, two paintings on the wall, and lavish carpet.
- There is a door in the northeast wall of the study and the northwest wall of the kitchen of Rilithorne�s tower, probably leading to the same room.
- There is a wall safe in the study of Rilithorne�s tower.
- There is a magically chilled icebox in the kitchen of Rilithorne�s tower.
- At one time the door to the dining room from the study of Rilithorne�s tower was guarded by an air elemental.
- At one time, the dining room of Rilithorne�s tower was guarded by a pair of air elementals.
Here's a description of the dining room in Rilithorne's tower:
The northernmost room on the first level of the tower is the dining room. To the south, stair lead up to the next level. In addition to the door to the southwest, from which the party entered, there is a door to the southeast... almost certainly leading into the kitchen you've already seen.
A pair of closets brackets the stairs, containing fine china of all sorts as well as silk tablecloths. The owner clearly has expensive tastes.
- The stairs from the first to the second level of Rilithorne�s tower are 5 feet wide.
- The stair from the first to the second level of Rilithorne�s tower lead to a sitting room that takes up � of the south side of the second floor. The room has a coffee table, chairs, and some potted plants, and a nice view of Orussus through some windows.
- In the sitting room of Rilithorne�s tower is a panel that contains a puzzle that deactivates a barrier/trap. A wall of fire and a wall of ice separate the sitting room from the rest of the floor when the barrier is activated. The panel has red, white and black tiles. When the black tiles are placed so that no red tile touches a white tile, the walls of fire and ice disappear, leaving ordinary walls and doors visible.
- Rilithorne�s tower is three stories tall.
A description of the second floor of Rilithorne's tower:
The party explores the remainder of the second floor without incident, finding the mage's bedroom immediately to the northwest, a library to the northeast, and a chamber full of various alchemical odments, material components, and arcane parephenalia in the far north. This last room has a stairway leading up, with a blue shimmer about halfway up. It also has a variety of cabinets, some of which are locked.
- The top floor of Rilithorn�s tower is empty save for a pedastal upon which Rilithorne�s spellbook sometimes rests.
- Rilithorne�s tower is 60 feet in diameter.
