I am about to run this tonight.
I also found the drowned Menagerie to be rather confusing. I'm going to take another look at it before the game but as of right now it's bad enough I might "forget" this building even exists for our game. So, I'm no help there, sorry.
As for the the lightning tower, hopefully your party obtained the rope of climbing from book 1; I know mine did. Also, hopefully the homonculus, Waxwood, in area L2 will successfully warn them to be careful of the promethean above and they can use the rope to avoid this floor. I was even considering "installing" some good-size windows in the tower, but maybe that is making it too easy on them.
Just my 2 copper...

Hello everyone,
i have some questions on the Schloss.
How are the PCs supposed to get in the drowned Menangerie up to the K11 bridge? They need to go into the containment Chambers and climb the 40 feet up to the K9 bridge connecting to K11? Therefore they would only have to go into 1 containment room (K4 or K7)?
Also what is above those 4 containment rooms that are 40 feet tall, as it says the towers are 200 feet tall?I also have a question on the lightning tower. On floor L2 the PCs figure out that obove the promethean and the trapped Count are located. Once they go into the room they will be immiadiatly attacked by the golem?
I was wondering how they should get to the ladder to open the roof and activate the bondslave thrall?If they enter the room i am pretty sure they will get killed before getting to the roof and activating the machine.
Thank you
Markus
The stairway at K2 once connected the 2 levels of the menagerie, but since that is collapsed, they must go into one of the containment chambers and climb (or fly) up to the doors on the second level to get to areas K9 and K11. K9 and K11 are 30 feet up, and the building itself is only 40 feet tall. The 200 feet refers to how far above the falls the entire building is located.
For the Lightning Tower, if they go straight into Room L3, they might very well be attacked by the Promethean. They could try to sneak past it, or if they want to avoid it completely, then climbing or flying to the roof would be a much better option.
