The Sinister Spire - GM Turn Post 116

What do you do next?

Physically, Dargoth is a mess and needs attention that the party cannot currently provide.

Resting in the Necromancer’s Spike is possible. If that is the plan, I need a definitive location and a watch order before we proceed.

Returning to Pedestal is also an option. If that is the plan, please advise where you plan to go and what you would like to do. i.e. Return to the Dripstone Inn and speak with Es Sarch or go the Bazaar and sell treasure and purchase Restorations. You only know of one way in or out of the Spire. The ring that you received from Es Sarch provides protection from the death field for a set amount of time per day. You have used a portion of that time for today upon entering the Spike and with exploring the entry room.

Resting and then returning to town is also an option. If that is the plan, I need all of the data for the options listed above.

Please submit your turn instructions using the Player Action Response - Turn Post Template.
