Flanking towers
The towers are 20 feet in diameter, four stories, for 50 feet up (10 feet inside per story). There are various skeletons in rusted armor in each room. In the top story of the north tower is, among other rusted ones, a magic +3 chaotic evil sword with intelligence 15 and ego 12. This sword will not get a +3 against fights within Erression’s* walls, but a ‘to hit’ at +3 more than needed will bring automatic double damage. This sword does no damage vs. other evils.
