Chaz and company have bested the tower of strength but the tower of courage awaits, a challenge very similar to the one they’ve just overcome. One would argue that it’d take courage to scale either tower and face the guardian at the top, but you could also argue that what the towers are called makes little difference when we have to best both of them. The first one had a challenging boss battle at the highest point and I imagine the second one isn’t going to be much different in that regard, but we’re that much better prepared for it. The party are slightly higher level, have some better equipment and more healing items to hand, so with a sensible strategy and a little luck, the second guardian shouldn’t too much of a problem for us.

We can only hope that the information Le Roof gives us is worth all this effort, that we learn some critical weakness of the Profound Darkness that we can turn against the entity in the final battle. Plot dumps are all fine and good but no amount of worldbuilding is going to save us if there isn’t a clue on how to overcome the big bad within it, be it a direct hint or something that points to somewhere else where can discover said weakness. The worst case scenario is that we get no clues at all and are left to our own devices, five mortals against a terrifying being that defies all explanation and exists beyond the laws the laws of our universe.

The odds are already stacked against us as it is after all, throwing a crushing amount of despair on top isn’t going to help matters. Let’s just hope that Le Roof has good news at the end of all this, eh?
