First appearing in Merc Party, Beastlands' Tower is a comical nightmare of inconsistently linked rooms, basic inability to observe the obvious, and the campaign-FUBARing Staff of Plotholes.
Beastlands the Wizard
The insane wizard Beastlands is the owner of this improbable, plane-shifting, nonsensical pseudoprison.
Key Features
- The Staff of Plotholes
- This unlikely staff -- which can literally do anything you want -- is located on the second floor of Beastlands' Tower.
- It may or may not be possible to reach this room by the front door.
- It is absolutely possible to reach it by simply climbing in the open second story window. In fact, their might be a rope or even a ladder there just to make things that much easier.
- A Duck
- In a room with a small bridge over a babbling brook is an ordinary duck. There is nothing unusual about this duck. It is definitely not devouring a t-rex.
- A Pantry
Appearances
Merc Party
The Merc Party ends up horribly lost in Beastlands Tower, while searching for a staff they need to stop a drow plot that threatens the world.
- Culpable: Ragazzi
Narsha
Beastlands Tower wanders between continuities for the first time. On the world of Narsha, Beastlands' Tower is causing trouble for the painfully dumb citizens of Billyton.
- Culpable: neobolts, Valeria
Age of High Culture
During the Age of High Culture on the Twin Worlds, the party helps a noble human bard named Darias of Ryslin obtain a shocker lizard so he can return to human form after he was changed into a bugbear by a wizard. They traveled to Marcola where they retrieved a shocker lizard from Beastlands' Tower. Afterwards, Darian of Rysfin impregnated Naru during a night of passion.
- Culpable: No one![1]
Prophecy
The pillaging pirates of Prophecy face Trial By Beastlands[2]. The party joins Trixie on her "Pixie Vision Quest" in which they visit the other rooms in Beastlands' tower (since the planet IS a room in Beastlands' tower). In order, the party visits the diamond chandelier room, the Narsha room, the kitchen, the treasure room, the pantry, the Staves of Plotholes Room, and Beastlands' bedroom. They return to their home room, where Beastlands allows them to modify the world to their liking. Unfortunately for Panchu, the rest of the party then killed the IBDM (Itty-Bitty Dust Mite) and restored the world to normal.

Minute Plumbing
Vostok and the others from Minute Plumbing encountered Beastlands' Tower.

Beastmen
Crossing continuities again, the Beastmen party finds themselves dealing with two neighbors in wizard towers that can't get along: Beastlands and Taxil Necrobane!
- Culpable: Valeria
Dragon Artifacts
Beastlands' Tower comes to Toril, and the amoral mercenaries (who were still working for mind flayers at that time, though they didn't know it yet) raid the tower for a purpose no longer remembered. The half-orc druid Korgash, servant of Talos, took up the Staff of Plotholes, and decided to reshape the world, destroying the kingdom of Cormyr with a kingdom-sized Storm of Vengeance, imploding the entire populace of Silverymoon, Jewel of the North, and pulverizing the entire island of Evermeet, sanctuary of the high elves. Korgash was stopped by the combined wrath of all sane gods before he could claim more victims, and the Staff of Plotholes was returned to Beastlands' Tower.

Kobolds Ate My Baby: New Year's Eve 2005
The minions of King Torg (ALL HAIL KING TORG!) find themselves in a post-game epilogue involving Beastlands' Tower.
- Culpable: Valeria
Stars of Destiny
Beastlands madness and his crazy tower are revealed (to the Stars of Destiny) to be part of a deeper plot in the fight against Quan'thosk'alys, concocted long ago by the brilliant wizard Beastlands at the cost of his own sanity.
