OOC: The road runs right past the tower. They are stopped quite close
to the tower now.

[GM]
While Louissa and Ted remain nervously inside the ATV, Vesper, with
Alex behind him, make their way to the tower. As they get closer, they
can see that it looks to have suffered considerable damage at some
point in the past, and that less capable individuals have attempted to
repair it with some duller, though still black substance. The steps up
are narrow [OOC: perhaps 18 inches wide] and many are cracked or
missing. Even worse, the heavy mists have left a slick layer of water
on each step, and the steps themselves are as smooth as glass. Ascent
will be difficult and treacherous, descent even worse.

The closer the two adventurers get to the tower, the more they sense
something like a sub-sonic vibration. The ground under their feet
seems to be humming.

Ted and Louissa are watching, trying to be ready if and when something happens.

Finally Vesper is at the steps. The platform is far overhead, and
other than flying, their seems no obvious way up other than the steps.

In the distance can still be heard shouting.
