This massive seven-floor tower is located on the second island of Iceclad. It is clear that something terrible once happened to the inhabitants of the tower. Littered with undead scholars, priests, travelers and shades, one must make their way up floor by floor with a different key necessary for each floor up. On the top floor is Tserrina, inciting terror on the rest of Frozen Shadow. Contrary to rumors, there is no eighth floor.

Various keys grant you access to each floor of the tower:

Crystal Key - 2nd floor - a large undead gnoll
Three Toothed Key - 3rd floor - an angry librarian
Frosty Key - 4th floor - an enraged shadow beast
Small Rusty Key - 5th floor - Cara Omica
Bone Finger Key - 6th floor - an enraged relative
Large Metal Key - 7th floor - VhalSera
Tserrina's Key - Master Key - Tserrina Syl`Tor

Tonight Omaji, Kolder and myself...along with a full group of people
uninvolved with our comings and goings were completely and utterly WIPED OUT
on floor six of TOFS by one mob. The beast is apparently called "a statue".
This I know because its name appeared in the chat window as it cast spells.

It could not be seen nor targeted, and therefore cold not be conned. It also
did not appear on track. I do not know if the name "a statue" was floating
above where it should have been...I didn't get a very good look. By my chat
window it nukes with an area-effect spell as the three of us were all hit at
the same time. The spell damage was 500 per hit and I'm not sure if there
was any melee damage from the mob as I was promptly nuked to death.

Two GM's rezzed everyone who died and apparently put the bad boy back in his
cage. I spoke to the GM who rezzed me in tells, and found out the following
information:

1. He said it was a bug. --- I take this to mean that this mob was somewhere
where it should not have been.

2. I asked him if it was a major bug or if it was merely something that has
yet to be discovered. --- He told me it was something yet to be discovered.
--- I take this to mean one of two things. Either "a statue" is SUPPOSED to
be there killing people...only not under those conditions (i.e. only spawns
after a yet-unfinished quest is completed); or "a statue" is not supposed to
be there but rather is meant to dwell at a different area of TOFS. This
leads me to believe he may be part of the 8th (or 9th if you prefer) floor
of the tower. I just found it VERY strange that on every web site I have
checked, there is NO mention of "a statue" in TOFS, and as the GM agreed it
is, "yet to be discovered".

Floor 8? An entry to a plane of PoP coming later this year? Could be
anything past the locked mirror on 7th floor. Never forget, the boss of this
tower is strongly connected to Mayone Mistmoore who is constantly involved
in lore dealing with The Sleeper. It makes you wonder.

If anyone finds any relevant info on this please let me know. I find it
quite odd, and even more interesting. Anyone know if "a statue" who AE nukes
for 500 exists anywhere else in game?

The statue is a rogue disarmable trap, not a bug, as far as I know. Went to TOFS yesterday for the first time and cleared to 7th, then again today with a few friends for another master key. The rogue with us the first time repeatedly said he was disarming the trap, and I have no reason to imagine he lied. Just take a rogue - I'm pretty sure its the statue of a dragon you see just over the stairs, assuming it hit you by the mirror to 6b like it did us.

Fun zone. Library is good AOE for level 30-40'ish, got a few levels with my lil' druid there... but yeah, I'm curious if anyone understands the mirror layout on 7... there appears to be one locked mirror which everyone is debating which none of the floor keys work on, but also another set of mirrors which would *seem* like they should take you to the appropriate floors... but dont ;)

Has anyone worked anything more sophisticated out for this one? Can you get back to the lower levels?

I been there enough times to know about yer statue... its wiped out the groups I have been in as well... I figured it all out when i looked around and noticed that there was nothing hitting us... just something in the walls nuking us to death. If it wasnt for him pretty much the zones aint tough at all with about 2 groups (in case group one gets wiped...
