The Tower of Allfield pt 1
 
Ruby, Igor, and Leroy are on the road heading towards east when they find a tent full of limbs. Kicking one of the legs the party finds that it is attached to a person, Eileen drunkenly wakes up and separates herself from two people whose names she cannot remember at this time. They join up and head together to Marith’s Docks, a dock town full of whore houses, bars, and strip clubs to keep sailors entertained and more importantly keep sailors' coins from leaving.
 
Traveling away from Marith’s Docks, our party arrives in Allfield. The antithesis of Marith’s Docks, Allfield is clean and full of nearly identical looking people who also look just like the farmers they met in farms nearing Allfield. A heavily agricultural town with a church of worshiping the goddess of the harvest. (we are basically in Kansas)
They stay in a delightful gnome owned inn and learn of a goblin infestation in a tower to the north. The party agrees to help the village by eliminating the goblins.
 
The following morning the party scopes out the tower and sees no coming and going of goblins. Igor climbs the tower wall to see what was on the balcony. As he arrives it is clear that they are in the distant past, possibly in the Galdorian empire. Seeing nothing dangerous Igor lowers a rope for the rest of the party to climb. Once on the balcony LeRoy has a strange vision of a past encounter of his grandmother Tina. Before the vision ends she looks at him and says “there is nothing worth dying for here”. Exploring further down the tower Ruby has a vision of a conflict from her past. In the war room of her manner she argues with a laner demon on tactics of invasion Before the end of the vision he looks at her and says “ there is nothing here worth dying over.” As they explore further downward Eileen finds a book that speaks to her mind. She discovers we are in a magic library where information can be added or copied but nothing can be removed. The book is unaware of what is causing the townsfolk to disappear nor of what is causing the visions. Moving forward Igor has a vision of sadness where he lost his brother Igor in a tower explosion of the mad scientist he had been assisting. Searching the rubble for any remains to pass on to future Igors. As his older brother Igor rests his hand on Igors should to offer the comforting words he recalled, instead he says “There is nothing here worth dying for”
