Enoka:

Enoka picks up the potion and wipes the brim of the glass flask with the cuff of her sleeve. She then puts it to her lips and sips the magical elixir. She places the flask back down on to the ground on a level surface. Unsure if the potion has taken effect she tests the potions by placing her hand into the wall before moving the rest of her body through. Once he hand disappears into the stone walls of the fort, she process with the rest of her body.

One by one you slip through the wall near the main door to the keep. No alarms sound or magical wards flash, the inside of the keep is pretty quiet for now.

It is a large and richly appointed room. A huge live edge table dominates the halls, perhaps 50ft in length. Above you are balconies and doors to the guest bedrooms. From the guard you learned that the Fat Man kept quarters in the cellars. There should be two stairs to descend at the other end of the grand hall.

You begin to move into the room, but immediately here some noises coming from that direction! It might be a host ascending the stairs, somebody is talking loudly!

Tantos Vek, failed paladin:

Vek wants to get closer to the Fatman before the bloodshed begins.
"Hide," he rasps as he stands behind the stairwell (the big circle to the right of "B"), sword ready.

If the host ascends to the second floor without noticing the invaders, Vek might want to let them pass.
If the party is discovered, they might surprise the host.

Roseheart looks about the richly furnished rooms and looks for an appropriate curtain to hide behind. If not, he'll crouch beneath the table away from the sound of the approaching noise...

Enoka:

Enoka quickly moves to the closest chair near her. She then shape changes into spider form and hides under the seat chair.

As you all begin running for cover you notice several pieces of nice furniture to hide behind. The pieces hold enough plates, and other utensils to feed at least 100 for a many course meal.

You all begin to materialize as the voices get closer, Vek first and then the rest of you, some of you are still ghostly when a group enters the room.

Enoka you aren't able to change, your druidic shapechange didn't work while phased.

The group comes up the cellar stairs. Most of you peek over your hiding spots to see what is going on. A runty, thin man is yelling at all of the rest.

now get out there and bolster our defence! Someone attacked the master,
the master !!!! I'm heading back down, I want everyone up and at their posts, make it happen!


This little man, has a hulking thing behind him. A huge misshapen creature , standing in silence while he shouts orders at a group of orcs and men.

*folks, before they disperse does anyone want to take action?*

Glimble remains as quiet as possible and keeps to his hiding spot thinking how much he does not like the looks of that hulking fellow, and worrying about Forrest.

Tantos Vek, failed paladin:

The clerk. The sewed together creature.
Vek is motionless and silent. He doesn't want to get in the way of the enemy dividing their forces.

OK, most of the orcs and men head out the doors into the courtyard, while the man who might be the clerk along with the hulking thing retreat back down into the lower levels. The clerk barks one more order to somebody at the bottom of the stair.

you kill anyone, and I mean anyone who tries to come down these stairs.
Whoever did this can use magic! They could look like anyone you understand!


You hear a murmur or affirmation from someone and then the clerk seems to depart quickly.

You are alone in the large hall once more.

Tantos Vek, failed paladin:

After they leave, Vek resumes breathing. He rasps almost inaudibly, "Enoka, will you please scout ahead in the form of an insect and see what is standing guard at the bottom of the steps?"

Enoka:

Enoka nods her head in acknowledgement in Veks request. She closes her eye and concentrates her thoughts. He body twist and shrinks down to the form of a spider. The spider then makes it's way to the open stairway. At the stairway it climbs the door's post up to the ceiling. From there, upside down, the spider descends until the guard come into her view.

Glimble stays put until Enoka returns with a report, still quietly wondering about Forrest, and hoping Garl will reply to Vek.

Tantos Vek, failed paladin:

"Don't sulk," Vek says to his invisible friend with a wry grin. Then, to the others: "He's just mad we're not dead yet."
Then back to Garl, "Well, are you joining us, or just waiting around until we're killed so you can say, 'I told you so!'?" Vek chuckles, not unkindly.
