TOWER OF CHIMES (Legends and rumors):
- The walls of the tower are tempered with dragon-fire (True; by Spike.) There was once a friendly dragon in the tower, centuries ago (Mostly true; Spike lived within the tower walls but not in the actual tower, which had no space for an adult dragon to live.) The monastics used to collect offerings of fruit, vegetables and grain from the villages round about, the land of which was owned by the tower or one of several nobleponies (Motif Index’s family was one such), but they stopped taking the offerings about “fifty years ago.” (True.)
First level: Audience chamber, cloister screen. Stairs. The Shadhavar will stand here and throw stuff at the party through a one-way screen.
Second level: Storeroom. Lots of boxes of trench whale meat (dried) and some fresh pony meat and a few snakes, squirrels, and wild game birds. There will be a trap here for the party; the shadhavar have placed invisible caltrops on the stairs to the third level. They will also leave the crate of pony meat open to intimidate the mob; they may experience a morale failure.
Third level: has a bunch of musical instruments and junk.
