Note: This adventure comes from the module “Scepter Tower of Spellgard” by David Noonan and Greg A. Vaughan.
Return to the monastery. That night, some Dark Creepers survey the monastery, surprising the residents. Allendi, the master discusses the party's adventures and encourages them to reveal any information they may have learned about the tower and it's occupants. The party obliges (somewhat).
The next day, upon returning to the basement entrance to the tower, they find their way blocked by hastily piled debris. After breaking through the debris, they encounter (and kill) a lone Gnome Skulk – but not before he blows a whistle to alert others.
Hastening up the stairs, the party arrives at the entrance level to find a Dark Creeper, some more Gnome Skulks, and several Kobolds. The creeper flees up to the next level, with Oin and Ibiza in pursuit. The battle then progresses in two halves – with the two upstairs fighting Dark Creepers and the main force battling the Gnomes and Kobolds.
Soon, though, the Dark Stalker that chased them out of the tower the day before comes down the stairs and fills the area with his dark fog. He then continues on to the main party, leaving Oin and Ibiza to be dealt with by the Dark Creepers. This plan, however, does not work out as he expected – and he quickly finds himself outmatched.
The tower master, Thoran, then comes down the stairs to engage Ibiza – but in the end, the shadow creatures are not up to the task…
