Keep the Aberrations from Ringing the Bell
Read Aloud
The tower shudders as two black shapes drop from the ceiling and a mound of staring mouths heaves out of the old summoning circle. The mouths chatter in stolen voices: your own, the wizard's, and someone begging from beneath the floor. The creatures surge toward the stairwell, where a cracked brass bell hangs above the open shaft.
