Yaral has assigned me as the foreman of our investigation, an honor that demands I be responsible for all findings in this decrepit tower. Our progress down the tower has been slow, meeting obstacles and fallen ceilings as we travel. The upper levels seem fairly barren, though a few rooms contain coffins and urns.
The sarcophagi are layered in a soot of undetermined origin. Perhaps there was a fire in the lower levels and the smoke found its way into these rooms. I am as yet unsure.

Some of our progress has been hindered by ruins and rubble our means are incapable of moving. In addition, there are cobwebs in this dungeon the thickness of which I have never seen. We reached what appears to be the bottom level of the tower. The central column of the inner tower is surrounded by massive stone heads.
In the rooms off to the side, shrines to Bael'zharon can be found. I am beginning to worry about this project.

Several of my miners have fallen ill and have become crazed to a degree. I have ordered them to be brought back to the upper levels to rest. The lowest level remains baffling to us. Even our methods cannot breach the doors. There must be a trigger we missed somewhere. There are some odd tapestries hanging from the walls here. Gilded and finely woven, they display creatures I am unfamiliar with and show what appears to be mages of some sort weaving powerful spells. Our artisans have done their best to reconstruct the tapestries upon their tablets.
My anxiety about this room increases the longer were are here. The shadows seem to loom over us and more and more of us are stricken with illness the longer we wait and work here.
