  • [0]
  • [2] The Tower of Chimes drifts in the darkness, wracked by winds, sparkling with frost. You still your engines as you approach. \n\nThis close, you can see that many of the more delicate details of the architecture have crumbled away entirely. Hopefully your efforts today don't do much further damage. The minute-hand is sharp, dark, and enormous; three times the size of a man. \n\nThe only way to safely remove it is to attach a chain between it and your locomotive. A delicate task.
  • [3] The winds howl, the chain sways and creaks. It seems secure.
  • [4] Something terrible approaches. It is going to kill you.
  • [5] It is nearer, nearer, nearer. No – it is here.
  • [6] You collect the Minute to Midnight and manoeuvre it – with some difficulty - into your hold. Now to return to the Unseen Queen, exhausted but alive."
  • [10] The minute-hand fell in the chaos. It must have landed somewhere below; you saw a rising cloud of dust, dispersed on the wind.

  • [4] The Beast approaches.\n\nYou and your sworn knights accidentally disturbed it from its slumber beneath the lake. As it awoke, it scented its favourite food. The blood of knights.\n\nNow it advances in a terrible fury. A shuffling aggregation of animal-shapes. Lion-jaws, leopard-claws, a serpentine tail. The wings of a bat.
