Tower of Ascension

S
Sigaojao

In a ravaged world, a giant obsidian tower rises. Few are summoned inside. You are one of them.


Author's Note: Welcome, Ascended! The world outside lies in ruin, but within the Tower of Ascension, hope for a new beginning—or the end of everything—awaits. This tower stretches endlessly from Level 1 to Level 20, each level presenting unique environments, challenges, and monsters that test your strength, resolve, and intelligence. Portals guard the path to higher levels, each protected by formidable creatures. Will you be able to reach the top and uncover the truth? Tip: -When moving from one POI to anoher, tell Franz the coordinates.

Description

Kargath, the Forgotten King, is an imposing figure clad in an ancient, crumbling suit of armor. His face is obscured by an intricate, gothic crown that merges with his helm, giving him an aura of both majesty and decay. His armor is tarnished and worn, but it still emanates a powerful, spectral energy. In combat, he wields a massive greatsword, but what makes him most fearsome is his ability to summon an army of spectral knights, the remnants of his lost court. Kargath believes he is still defending his kingdom, unaware that both his realm and body have long since crumbled to dust.

Actions

Cursed Blade

His greatsword, imbued with a necrotic curse, deals significant damage with each swing and weakens the opponent's defenses, causing them to take increased damage from all sources.

King’s Command

Kargath unleashes a wave of necrotic energy, forcing all nearby enemies to kneel in submission unless they succeed in a Wisdom saving throw. Those who fail are stunned for one round.

Spectral Legion

Kargath can summon a battalion of spectral knights to aid him in battle. These knights fight with undying loyalty, absorbing damage and striking with ethereal swords.
