Talk:An Ancient Tower

Intro text after climbing without hook.

A tall stone tower stands here, a hundred feet tall if it's an inch and, as far as you can tell, almost entirely intact. 'Almost' being the operative word, as the interior of the tower proves to be completely choked with debris -- apparently the inner floors and staircases collapsed long ago.

If anything was to be found at the top of this tower, Krakrox realized, he would have to scale the outer wall. A daunting prospect, but not an insurmountable one, certainly not for an experienced climber such as himself. The rough stone walls offered plenty of hand-holds and the structure as a whole had a slight but perceptible taper as it reached the top, making this relatively easy compared to many of his past climbing achievements.

The only really difficult thing about it, is that giant bird-lizard thing, which is still swooping around the top of the tower, waiting to dive-bomb you again.

Not comfortable editing wikipages yet, but using a grappling hook initiated a combat. --EvilBear 18:49, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Text for climbing with grappling hook is (combat with a giant bird-creature):

You spit on your palms, rub them together, and start climbing. One handhold after another, 
one foothold after another, your progress up the tower is steady and unflagging. Until suddenly,
when you are perhaps halfway up, a deafening screech tears the air.

A gigantic birdlike creature -- neither a giant vulture nor a winged lizard but with aspects of both
and a wingspan fully twice as long as Krakrox was tall -- swooped through the air, diving directly at 
the barbarian. Thinking quickly, Krakrox grabbed the coil of rope from his shoulder and whipped the 
grappling hook at the beast, leaping away from the wall of the tower as he did so.

The creature squawks and wheels away as the rope circles its neck, but too late to avoid being 
entangled. You find yourself soaring through the air, dragged through the sky by an angry bird monster. 
Gritting your teeth, you begin to climb the rope, determined to teach this monster a lesson.

Could the wine barrel be a reference to the Jameson Whiskey Hawk commercials? Skullrock (talk) 17:17, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

• Unless I missed those commercials years ago I don't think so since I didn't start seeing them until a few months ago and this adventure is several years old. --Chunky_boo (talk) 19:12, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
