My companions and I have entered the ruined tower of the great mage Alystaire of the Reavers despite the strong protestations of the local authorities. As we entered the tower the door was barred stifling any further intrusion, but also our escape should one be needed.
Soon after entering I felt an overwhelming sense of confusion, but by Tyr’s grace I was able to shake this strange sensation. I cannot be certain, but I believe this effect may have been caused by a powerful, yet hidden spell or curse that was long ago laid on this place. My companions have begun acting strangely. Our burglar, Cassim, seems to have developed an unhealthy fascination with fire, and I can’t help but notice the look of hate and “hunger” the tiefling Killara sends my way. More disturbing, the drow elf Aunrae seems to believe that there is some sort of extra planar conspiracy brewing, and even my mistress Dame Callista seems to grow more paranoid with every passing hour.
Despite these strange occurrences we pressed on. We entered the hall adjoining the entry chamber only to be attacked by what appeared to be hound archons! They warned us of a great evil that they were apparently guarding. Battle was joined and the Archons destroyed. I only pray that Tyr guide us in our quest and that whatever may dwell beneath this tower is within our power to contain.
