General Summary
Party is attacked by large insect/crab like creatures, which burrow underground and attack with pincers and poisonous saliva
Partway through the fight, the creatures appear to shift their attention to Blair, and attempt to steal the Scythe - it seemed as though they received a message through magical means
The creatures are defeated, and Roan realises that these were the same creatures that attacked her druid circle
Whatever these things are, they seem to be of an aberrational nature, and something is controlling them
The party complete their rest and continue north towards the Tower of Heaven, passing through a desolate village on the way
Arriving at the gigantic white tower, the party are greeted by a member of The Seekers of Truth.
Upon hearing of the pink mud, the Seeker is convince to let the group inside to speak with Abner Feivel, the order's leader
Abner is adamant that no thief could ever sneak into the tower, and get out alive at least - but he listens to the group's story anyway
Lord Reginald asks if the Seekers can call for his family to pick him up, and they begrudgingly agree
Abner tells the group that nobody has been seen at the tower recently, however, roughly a year ago there was a strange disturbance higher up in the tower - something that sounded like an explosion. Nobody was able to ascend the tower to investigate, and no such occurrance happened again
Abner invites the party to stay for the night, and allows them a tour around the courtyard and ground level of the tower. He insists that they cannot ascend the tower however, as only The Seekers or crest bearers are permitted access
On the tour, the party learn about the pink Aurelius Sanctus trees that surround the tower. They can apparently be used to concoct healing potions, and other magical brews. Meepo eats a leaf from the trees, to no effect
Finding no evidence of Adriana being present, the party settle down in their provided accomodation for the night
Shortly after midnight, Celine spots a dark shadow manifest in the room. A hooded woman raises her hands... and asks for help
