Candlemere Tower

Candlemere Tower
The tower in the center of Candlemere Lake is a crumbling ruin — nothing remains but a half-collapsed stone cylinder and a swath of rubble within and without. The stones of the tower are ancient — faint carvings of strange symbols are barely visible in some of the tower's stones. Although the ancient cult that once used this site as its center of worship has long since been destroyed, the ruins themselves exude an aura of unease. Any creature that enters this area feels as if something unseen were watching or waiting and that intruders to the area are distinctly unwelcome.

Notes

• In the middle of the forest you can pass through fallen trees with Lore (Nature) and Athletics checks.
  • Failing the check eliminates the option.
  • Succeeding on one of the checks eliminates the other and makes future passage free of checks.
  • This place opens up a way to climb up the hill.
• In the northwest part there is an alternative way to climb up the hill, no checks required.

Notable People

• Rismel

Suggested Tactics

Buff your party using an Extend Metamagic Rod with both Resist Energy, Communal (electricity) and Protection from Energy, Communal (electricity) which allow you to tank the electrical attacks from the Wisp's and give you time to get through multiple fights. Melee characters could use vital strike to increase damage from attacks at their highest BAB to get through the Wisp's high AC's *if they have the feat*. If available using a Lesser Extend Metamagic Rod to cast Blur on some or all your companions will make you even more durable and provide you time to get through multiple fights. Divine or Arcane casters can use True Strike or Magic Missile to overcome or ignore the high AC. The See Invisibility spell or Glitterdust will negate the Wisp's attempts to use their ability Natural Invisibility *note* the See Invisibility spell will not let you see the Wisp's before they start the encounter.
