Day 14
Amidir, turning into his Raven form, takes flight. After a brief scouting of the tower he sees the safest route in is through the main entrance, ominously unguarded.
An inspection of the foyer shows the lift mechanism is controlled by a 'control water' spell. Amidir Min'alth uses his immovable rod to perch near the hatch and push it open.
On the first floor he sneaks through a room of pillars that decorated in Asmodean tapestries. He causes a slight noise leaving the room, which draws the guards. He ambushes them at the door, suggesting to one that the other is a traitor. They fight and the charmed guard wins. Amidir then ambushes him, killing him.
On the next floor he finds a fane to Asmodea, one with traps of invisible hands and walls. He negates enough of the magic to escape.
On the top floor he finds an antechamber leading out to a bridge into the Maelstrom of echoes. He sees the Queen of Ravens trapped within the vortex. He sneaks past Zahar, whom he was also unaware of, but as he leaves the room Zahar spots him.
They battle on the edge of the vortex, Amidir nearly falling to his death. Eventually Zahar is kicked into the Maelstrom, a thing of ether, that kills Zahar.
Amidir communes with the Queen of Ravens over her betrayal by Ashok and her plans for Amidir.
