Recent History
The Keep recently went quiet and the local lord, and staff were no longer heard from. They realize that there is some sort of problem but the keep was for them impregnable (everyone in the Village of Quarstonbaily carries a magical brand that prevents them from leaving the village area or entering the castle).
Description of Cloudspear Keep and Village of Quarstonbaily
The keep sits at the top of a cliff overlooking the village of Quarstonbaily. The village itself backs against a sheer quarried face and is populated by poor folk who get by cutting and exporting stone.
Map of the Castle
A large 140' high tower and four 80' high small towers at its 90 degree spokes. with a 20' high outer wall linking the smaller towers and similar walls linking each small tower to the central large tower.

A camera obscura even! Cool idea!
Going through a Kriegsspiel phase and just had to have a camera obscurer as part of the warroom...
I think the way in is up through the well in the well room...which means a cave network full of insects and slimes somewhere near the village.
So anyone interested in using the Keep as a low level adventure? Hopefully the Map is easily understood.
