The message is scrambled front to back for the words, and
also for each individual word. Deciphered the message says
“Knock Three Times”, which is all the PCs need to do to
enter the tower. The door has an arcane lock spell cast
upon it, and if the command word is not spoken then the
spell has to be bypassed to enter the structure. The arcane
lock was placed there by the previous owner of the tower,
and was cast at only 7th level of ability. The door is consid-
ered to be strong wooden (stats on DMG page #108), and if
it is somehow broken the door magically regenerates in one
hour.
Location #2: Entry Chamber
There are no lights in this room, and per the guards and
wards spell the room is filled with fog. Once all of the PCs
have entered the room read the following:
This entry chamber is void of light, and filled with a thin
mist as you enter. A worn wooden bench and a tattered
looking tapestry are the only items in this chamber
other than the door across from the entrance. As you
take in these meager furnishings, the door you entered
through can no longer be found--only the one leading
deeper into the tower is visible.
The exit to the tower is magically hidden from the PCs
once they’re inside. To make the door reappear the words
magically written on the outside of the door, “Knock Three
Times” must be said aloud. If the door was broken down to
enter it magically reforms once everyone enters, then quick-
ly disappears until the command word is spoken. There is
no clue to this command word here, but can be encounters
later on.
Location #3: Kitchen
Read the following as the PCs enter the room. Be sure to
keep in the mind the presence of the fog throughout the
tower.
A sharp, pungent smell pierces the fog in this chamber,
stinging your nostrels with the order of something rot-
ten. Stepping through the mist you see you’re in some
sort of kitchen, leading you to believe the smell is that
of spoiled food. A large table adorns the center of the
room, with dozens of pots and pans hanging above it. A
huge oven fills one wall and an even larger woodpile is
beside it. The kitchen looks as if someone was fixing
food, then suddenly departed.
www.fastforwardgames.com
Aside from spoiled food and kitchen utensils, there is noth-
ing of value here. The majority of the spoiled smell comes
from the storage area.
Location #4: Storage
The door to this chamber is magically sealed with an
arcane lock spell, the same as the entrance door to the
tower. The door itself is considered a good wooden door
type for the purposes of breaking and entering. Once the
door is breached read the following:
Once past the magically barred portal, yet another blast
of stale and foul air assaults your senses. Something
through the fog is extremely rotten, even worse than
the kitchen behind you. The smell is so bad you’re find-
ing it difficult to hold down your breakfast.
The DM should make this room as unpleasent as possi-
ble. Large patches of black, wet mold drips from the ceiling
through the foul mist. Anything the mold touches is stained
black, and breathing in the spores can make someone
extremely ill. Anyone breathing the air here must make a
Fortitude save (DC 18) or suffer a -1 to all rolls for 1d4 days
or until any type of cure spell is applied. An extended stay in
this chamber requires another save every five rounds, with
failed saves incuring cumulative penalties.
Mold covered and rotting food lies in bags, jars, and small
crates throughout the chamber. If any of these containers
are inspected creatures such as cockroaches, large flies,
and millipedes pour forth by the hundreds and thousands.
There is nothing else of value here.
Location #5: Study
The door to this chamber is magically sealed with an
arcane lock spell, and is iron shod and three inches thick
(considered to be an iron door type). Also, the fog in this
chamber is thicker than the rest of the tower (30/70% miss
chance, see above), the result of the guards and wards
spell being cast from this chamber.
As the PCs move through the fog they find a well-appoint-
ed study with comfortable chairs and writing tables . There
are bookcases on every wall, filled with scrolls and tomes
detailing the surrounding countryside and other local geo-
graphical features and histories. A single podium stands in
the center of the chamber, a book open upon it. If anyone
comes within five feet of the poduim a small magical light
illuminates the book so it can be read more clearly. PCs sit-
ting in the easy chairs experience the same convenient
lighting.
The book on the podium is written in elvish titled “THE
INTRICACIES OF SOMATIC SPELLCASTING” by the High Mage
Vesparian Moondancer. Though none of the books are
magical, the collection is quite impressive. On the open
market the tomes and scrolls will fetch 2d20x100 gold
pieces to the right buyer. If a wizard class PC were to study
these books over the course of a year the DM can award
1,000 experience for the knowledge gained.
There are also stairs in this chamber that lead up to the
second level. The stairway is filled with fog and webs, and
transversing it is not an easy task.
Location #6: Dining Room
Read the following as the PCs enter the chamber:
As you pass through the arched entryway to this cham-
ber the fog seems to get thicker the further you walk in.
The mist seems to swirl in circular, almost hypnotic pat-
terns in seemingly random directions. The edge of what
may be a long wooden table edges out from the fog,
along with a few chairs and an exotic looking plush rug.
If the edges of the chamber are searched, four finely
woven tapestries can be found on the walls (worth 300gp
each). Against the wall across from the entrance is a china
cabinet filled with an exquisite silver plated dinnette set. To
the back of the area is a large stone throne at a high table.
Several cabinets against the walls are filled with quality sil-
ver plates and cups. (dining services worth 100 gp).
Second Floor
Location #7: Servant's Quarters
The first door revealed through the fog after the PCs
ascend the stairs is the entrance to a servant's quarter that
has been vacant for some time. The last master of the tower
did not have any servants, though the one before him did
have a houseboy.
There are seven beds in this spacious chamber, each with
an empty chest beneath it. Barren tables and empty chairs
also dot the room, and along one wall hang various tools
used to repair and clean the structure--a broom, hammer,
chisel, and even some blacksmithing utensils hang on the
pegs of a wooden rack. Beneath the rack is a disassembled
loom, some candle-making equipment (minus any wax),
www.fastforwardgames.com
and a box of slightly rusted nails. Aside from these items
there is nothing of interest here. All chests are empty, and a
casual inspection (Spot DC 8) reveals that they have not
been opened for some time.
Location #8: Trophy Chamber
While the previous owner of the Scarlet Tower was con-
sidered somewhat of a pacifist, the title-holder before him
was something of an outdoorsman and a hunter despite his
chosen profession. This chamber served as his trophy
room, a place where his greatest triumphs could be kept
preserved for his future enjoyment. Included in the wizard's
list of kills is:
Y The full plate armor of a death knight carrying a greataxe
(mounted upright on a floor stand)
Y A full-sized stuffed owlbear (stuffed in standing position)
Y A shadow mastiff (head mounted on the wall)
Y Twenty stirges (mounted individually hanging from the
ceiling to imitate a swarm).
Y The upper torso of a yuan-ti (mounted on the wall at a
height of six feet).
Y The head of a wyrmling white dragon (mounted on the
wall)
Y A deactivated flesh golem (standing in the center of the
room, drained of all the magic that animated him)
The DM can make up more trophies for the entertainment
of the players. However, the annoying fog and the trophy
creatures here offer the DM a chance plant a bit of paranoia
in the minds of the PCs. Use the fog (if present) and the
statues to gloat the party into a mock combat. The DM could
use such statements as, "As you walk through the fog the
figure of a huge armored knight appears out of nowhere-his
axe upraised for a killing blow!" The DM should even go so
far as to roll initiative in the mock battle, allowing the PC to
win and get an initial attack.
Location #9: Meeting Chamber
A door in the trophy room leads to this chamber. The room
is dominated by a circular table surrounded by a dozen plain
wooden chairs. As the PCs approach the table through fog
seven red glowing runes can be seen arranged in a circle at
the center of the table. The runes are clearly magical, and
detects as such if mystically probed.
As you stumble through the fog of the chamber you
find this to be some sort of meeting room. At the center
are a set of quality chairs and a huge circular table.
Scarlet runes adorn the center of the table, their glow
shimmering through the fog like a beam of light danc-
ing along a glass window. Along one wall is a cabinet
filled with bottles of wine and small casks on one shelf,
and several expensive looking goblets on another. An
unraveled scroll rests on the edge of the table, scrib -
bled with notes regarding the summoning of some type
of extra-planar fiend.
The previous owner of this tower valued his privacy, espe-
cially when meeting with important colleagues or concocting
devious strategies of questionable nature. The mystical
marks on the table shields the room from all attempts at
scrying from any magical source outside the power of a god.
However, if even one of these runes is dispelled then the
entire enchantment is ruined.
To protect his magical table, the wizard trapped each rune
with an electrical glyph. If anyone attempts to dispel, or
even touch the runes they're zapped with an arc of electric-
ity (Reflex save for half, DC 20) that inflicts 4d8+8 points of
damage. In addition, if one of the glyphs is triggered the
room fills with dancing lights (per spell as if cast by a 15th
level sorcerer) to further deter such actions.
Also within this chamber is a secret door that leads to the
upper levels of the tower. A combination of the fog and the
superior construction of the door requires a Search roll ver-
sus a DC 20 to discover the passage.
Location #10: Passage Up
After the PCs breach the secret door in the meeting room
and begin their way up, relay the following:
You're halfway up the darkened stairway when a low,
booming voice proclaims, "I am the guardian of this
passage. Leave now or I must kill you." The voice
seems to come from thin air, as no one but you is on the
staircase. The fog is somewhat thinner here, and a door
can be seen at the edge of your illumination only a few
feet away.
This passage is guarded by an invisible stalker, left by the
last owner in retribution for the city's unfair taxes. He cast
the spell via a scroll left behind by a previous master of the
www.fastforwardgames.com
tower. If the PC at the top of the stairs steps one foot further,
the invisible stalker attacks.
Invisible Stalker: Large Elemental (Air); Hit Dice: 8d8+16
(52 hp); Initiative: +8 (+4 Dex, +4 Improved Initiative);
Speed: 30 ft., fly 30 ft. (perfect); AC: 17 (-1 size, +4 Dex, +4
natural); Attacks: Slam +10/+5; Damage: Slam 2d6+6;
Face/Reach: 5 ft. by 5 ft./10 ft.; Special Qualities: Elemental,
natural invisibility, improved tracking; Saves: Fort +4, Ref

15, Cha 11; Skills: Listen +11, Move Silently +15, Search

Weapon Focus (slam); AL: N; CR: 9
Elemental: Immune to poison, sleep, paralysis, and stun-
ning. Not subject to critical hits.
Natural Invisibility (Su): This ability is constant, allowing
the stalker to remain invisible even when attacking. This
ability is inherent and not subject to the invisibility purge
spell.
Improved Tracking (Ex): Invisible stalkers are consum-
mate trackers and make Spot checks instead of the usual
Wilderness Lore checks to trace a creature's passage.
Third Floor
All of the doors on this level are trapped with an electrical
glyph that inflicts 4d6 hit points of damage (Reflex save for
half, DC 15) when ever someone attempts to push or pull on
a door. The command word "STOP" deactivates that glyph
for one turn. A detect magic easily reveals this trap. Once a
glyph has been discharged it is gone.
Location #11: Private Quarters
Read the following when the PCs open the door at the top
of the staircase.
The mist in this chamber is a bit thinner than previous
rooms, and as you pass through the door you see this
area is some sort richly appointed sleeping quarters.
There's a huge curtained canopy bed, a large chest at
its head, and another large cabinet against a wall. There
is also an expensive writing table against one wall, with
an ink well and quill resting next to an open leather
bound book.
 The previous wizard owner took nearly all of his posses-
sions before he left the tower, but did leave a few things
behind. The cabinet is full of expensive scarlet robes (10 at
25gp each), five pointed hats (5gp each), and two iron-shod
quarterstaffs. The cabinet is trapped with the same electri-
cal glyph as the doors on this level, and will discharge if
someone tries to open it. The chest at the foot of the bed is
empty.
The bed has closed blocking curtains all around, and any-
one parting the curtains is hit with a glitterdust spell, for
which the victim and anyone standing behind him will have
to make a Will save (DC 15) or be blinded as per the spell.
There is also a door in this room to the tower's magical
study, but it is masked by an illusion that makes the door
appear as a wall. Spells that detect magic, illusions, or hid-
den portals will reveal its location.
Location #12: Magical Study
Once the PCs find the hidden door to this chamber, read
the following once a few of them have entered:
As you move around the swirling fog you discover
you're in some sort of study. There are towering book-
shelves all about this room, and at the center is a large
worktable covered in wands, staves, rods, exotic crys-
tals, and two closed tomes of considerable thickness.
The wands, rods, and staves do not test as magical; they
are empty shells waiting to be enchanted. There are 14
wands, eight rods, and 4 staves (worth a total of 250gp if
they're sold on the open market). The crystals are worth-
less. The books are decoys, planted by the previous owner,
and trapped with explosive runes. The runes detonate when
read, dealing 6d6 points of damage. Anyone next to the
runes (close enough to read them) takes this damage with
no saving throw. Others within 10 feet of the runes take half
damage if they succeed at Reflex saving throws. The object
in which the runes were written also takes the damage (no
saving throw).
The bookcases are full of tomes on a variety of subject
(exact nature is up to the DM), but none are magical. Selling
all of these books to a library in a large city will fetch around
500gp. There is one book of interest at the top of one of the
shelves, though finding it may be an impossible task. It is a
non-descript tome with no title on the binding, and inside is
a list of magical passwords to all the enchantments in the
tower. This is important because finding this book is the only
way to make the front door on the first level open and let
www.fastforwardgames.com
them out. Should the PCs accidentally destroy or somehow
never find this book, they will eventually starve to death
unless they can magically transport out or can otherwise
come up with some other convincing way to escape.
Location #13: Alchemy Storage
Once the door to this location is breached, read the follow-
ing to all who enter:
An enormous cloud of glittering golden particles swirls
about this room, making it extremely difficult to make
out items within. You seem to be able to make out a row
of shelves against one wall and a small glass cabinet
against the other, all the while shielding your eyes from
the scintillating mass that fills the chamber.
A permanent glitterdust spell encompasses this chamber,
and is activated and deactivated by command words (on:
GLITTER, off: PYRITE). The shelves here are lined with
spell components, everything from eyeballs to spider webs
to lizard scales. There is a 30% chance for there to be any
1st or 2nd level wizard (or sorcerer) spell component on this
shelf (though the DM has the final word on distributed com-
ponents), as well as a few for higher level enchantments.
The small glass cabinet contains 500gp in gold dust in a
small coffer, 100gp in silver dust in a glass jar, seven blue-
white flawed diamonds each worth 20gp, and two sacks of
poor quality rubies with a total worth of 300gp-all of which
are components for various spells.
There is also a secret door in this chamber, leading to a
hidden spellcasting chamber. The presence of the glitter-
dust spell, however, makes finding the door with a Search
roll exceedingly difficult (DC 30) unless it is somehow dis-
pelled (then DC 15).
Location #14: Spell Casting Chamber
Due to enchantments in this room the guards and wards
spell has no effect here.
The first thing you notice about this room is there is no
fog present. In a circle at the center of this chamber are
seven scarlet glowing symbols on the floor. Floating
above the symbols is a carved crystal head of a lovely
woman. Swirling gold dust circles around the head in a
random fashion, bringing a certain beauty to the disem-
bodied head.
 There are two things of note in this chamber: the head and
the casting circle. The crystal head is a powerful living mag-
ical item from the Outer Planes that has the power to
answer 10 yes or no questions per day, similar to a com-
mune spell. The results are always 100% accurate, regard-
less of any other magics that may prevent the answering of
the question. The drawback to this magical item is that it
cannot be removed from this chamber. If it is removed from
the magical protections that ward this chamber, after the
next time the head answers a question it randomly teleports
1d10 x 100 miles from its present location.
As for the magical circle, that is the most dangerous part
of the chamber. Because of his hatred for the city, before the
wizard left the tower he began casting a potent summoning
spell--but left it unfinished on purpose. All that needs to be
done to complete the spell is to break the plane of the circle
(it doesn't matter if you're stepping on the floor or not), and
a savage vrock will be summoned to the chamber. The
beast will do all it can to destroy its summoners, and then
teleports to the nearby city to wreak havoc upon the mortals
of the Prime Material Plane.
Vrock (Tanar'ri): Large Outsider; Hit Dice 8d8+24 (60 hp);
for its duration. Bless, neutralize poison, or remove disease
kills the spores, as does sprinkling the victim with a vial of
holy water.
Stunning Screech (Su): Once per hour a vrock can emit a
piercing screech. Every creature within a 30-foot radius
must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 17) or be stunned for
1 round.
Dance of Ruin (Su): To use this ability, a group of five or
more vrocks join hands in a circle, dancing wildly and chant-
ing. If they dance for 3 rounds, a wave of crackling energy
flashes outward in a 100-foot radius. All nondemon crea-
tures within the radius take 2d20 points of damage (Reflex
half DC 15). Forcing the vrocks to break the circle stops the
dance.
Summon Tanar’ri (Sp): Once per day a vrock can attempt
to summon 2d10 dretches or another vrock with a 35%
chance of success.
Skills: Vrocks receive a +8 racial bonus to Listen and Spot
checks.
