Entry & Courtyard

1. Entry & Courtyard.

A tall stone arch in the 20ft outer wall opens to a wide courtyard. Ice covers statues, trees and the path leading to the massive doors at the base of the tower. The air is deathly still here. Door: The great door will open smoothly when entering. A DC 18 STR check is required to open from the inside. Trap: The courtyard feels oppressively cold, and every hour spent there will sap 1d4 strength (without magical protection from cold). Strength is restored after a full rest out of the courtyard.
