Ulric's Tower

The tower of Ulric de Mowbray was located to the south of Ivilesse. It was first seen during the vision. The tower was destroyed after the party discovered it.

Description
From the outside it was believed that the tower was abandoned. Despite being boarded up, Ulric had lived in the tower for over 400 years.

The tower had four levels.

Level 1
The first floor of the tower seemed abandoned and obviously hadn't been used for a long time. A heavy layer of dust covered everything and the fireplace was long cold. Above the fireplace was an old oil painting that depicted the young boys, Ulric and Gideon de Mowbray. Both boys were dressed in fine aristocratic clothing.

The only other item of note was a table containing a journal with notes and architectural drawings.

As the party entered the first floor the building seemed to reverberate with each step they took.

A spiral set of stairs ascended to the second floor.

Level 2
The second floor of the tower was a large library. In the room was a book floating in mid-aid. The book contained more recent journal entries from Ulric.

An explosion frozen in time filled the room with light. The magic freezing the explosion was incredibly powerful. Once dropped, this explosion was the cause of the towers destruction.

Level 3
The third floor was a laboratory full of experiments. Large vials of bubbling liquid covered the workspaces. Many bodies in various states of decay littered the area. Some of the bodies appeared to be breathing. A thick black ooze filled some spaces and became clear that Ulric was responsible for the Boneclaw.

Additionally, there was a map showing the travel of the Twilight Rose. A final scrap of paper included more recent journal entries about the party.

Level 4
The top floor of the tower was the living space. It included a work desk, a bed that was tightly made and unused for many years, long since rotten food, dozens of books, inkpads, and quills, and the long dead body of Gideon de Mowbray.
