The Clockwork Tower

About the adventure

Tik....Tik....Tok =============== Jenneline Gyre, who was a wealthy adventurer before settling down as a clockmaker, commissioned a great clock tower. As construction neared its end, the clockmaker grew deathly ill, but she survived long enough to hear the clock strike noon for the first time, and she died happy. The tower would have stood as her monument, but the Clockworkers’ Guild suspected the place might be an implement for unsanctioned summonings and tried to shut it down. The inspectors died, crushed between the gears of the clock. The townsfolk reasoned that the clockmaker’s ghost had taken vengeance, and they abandoned the tower for fear of suffering her wrath. The guild left two clockwork guardians in the tower, further deterring visitors. The clock tower has stood silent for months.

How to prepare

just need discord and mic as this is how I communicate mostly. Please create characters ahead of time so there is a chance to go over it and it does not cut into playtime. Characters can be made via D&D beyond or the Charactermancer in Roll20. I also have a selection of pre-generated characters made if players wish to just jump right in or have a tough time making characters.

What I provide

I bring my compendium on Roll20 that can be used in-game. These include: Dungeon masters Guide Players Guide Volos Guide Modenkinin Tome Monster Manual Xanathars Guide A Heist on Roll 20 Tasha's Guide Van Rickten's Guide Fizban's Treasury The Phantom Woman Mines of Phandelver Tales of the Yawning Portal Ghosts of Saltmarsh Raven's Call Multiverse The Clockwork Tower
