Players, especially my players, stay out.

Spoiler:
I'm running the end of the clock tower next week and I'm wondering if anyone has posted some updates for E5 and E6. Primarily, where are the stairs from E5 to E6?

I know I could put them anywhere I wanted but I was just curious if it's even been stated where they should have been? What have other people done?

Also how much of the roof do people have remaining in E6, it's hard to tell from the map so I was wondering what other people did.

I want to make this fight memorable and I don't want map issues getting in the way.

Answers behind the cut...

Spoiler:

The stairs didn't quite work out perfectly, alas; we were wrestling with getting the map perfect up to the end and didn't quite get a chance to get it right. Basically, the stairs wind up the tower and SHOULD still appear in area E3, winding up to the scaffolding in the northwest corner. Then, the scaffolding leads up to area E4 and then to E6 above that. The stairs that once led all the way up to area E5 have collapsed.

There is no roof in area E6.

OK, that helped a lot, let me just see if I have it straight.

Spoiler:
The players climb up the scafolding from E3, past E4, into E6. E6 is the area underneath the top of the conical roof. Here are my questions:

When the players enter the room are they below the angel, and is that all that remains of the rooftop?
Is Xanesha's collection of pillow's etc, exposed to the elements (it's under the bridge so rain isn't an issue but I figured she'd at least want some privacy)?
I suppose my issue is, if there's no roof what holds the angel up and what protects Xanesha from the wind, prying eyes, etc...
Is there at least sides on E6.

Thanks for your answer and any further help you can give. This kind of service is one of the things I love about Paizo.

Area E6 is somewhat sheltered from the elements, in that there's a roof high overhead (the Irespan) and there's fragmentary walls going up the sides to block wind. Her nest is probably not a very clean place, though...

I just posted regarding this in the Skinsaw Murders GM Reference section.

Spoiler:
I came to pretty much the same conclusion, but I envisioned the roof more or less intact (with large holes to see the angel perched above, and a large breach on the side with the scaffolding). I thought that maybe enterprising players could arrange to drop the angel on Xanesha if they could maneuver her into position.
