Tower of Ascension

Deep within the twisting paths of the Second Floor, hidden in the thickest part of the Verdant Labyrinth, lies the Portal to Third Floor. It’s an ancient stone archway, partially overgrown with vines and moss, but glowing runes cover the stone, emitting a faint, pulsating light. The portal itself shimmers with a swirling, greenish energy, casting an eerie glow on the surrounding jungle. The air around the portal is heavy with humidity and the scent of damp earth, making the atmosphere feel thick and oppressive. Large twisted roots protrude from the ground around the portal, and strange, coiling markings lead from the base of the arch, indicating the presence of a dangerous creature that lurks nearby. As the players approach, the jungle grows eerily silent, a sure sign that they’ve entered the territory of the portal’s guardian.
