Wizard's Tower, part 1

The party was able to sneak down onto the grounds and make their way to the Wizards tower.

As you approach the tower, you can immediately see the damage the Goblins have inflicted on it. It looks like it originally had a center spire and 2 smaller ones on each side. The towers were connected by bridges. The bridge to the left tower is still intact, the one to the right has been destroyed. The tower on the right appears to have been pulled almost completely down. You can walk right in. The bottom floor or 2 of the left and center towers appear intact. However, they both appear to have taken substantial damage above the second floor. This damage may have been inflicted by the Wizards to prevent occupation of the tower.

The party entered the partially destroyed right hand tower. They were immediately attacked by 2 bugbears and 2 wolves. The terrain proved very challenging to the party, however, they were able to take down one of the wolves very quickly. Unfortunately, Ekeraath got flanked and became the target of a skullthumper attack by a Bugbear. A couple landed blows and Ekeraath was reduced to 1 hp. The party hadn't taken the encounter seriously and almost paid for it. They were about to overcome the monsters and continue their exploration of the tower.

There wasn't much else above ground, however they found a staircase under some rubble that led down.
