With Fadheela defeated, the party returned to Pedestal to rest,
recover and make preparations to continue their quest to retrieve the bones of
the Forgotten King. Kirlic bid the group farewell, stating he had other matter
that needed his attention. Banjo acquired a new friend amongst the drow,
Natalya, who pledged to follow the sorcerer on his mission. Seeking a
replacement for Kirlic, Es Sarch introduced the party to Blart, a half-orc
barbarian/cleric who agreed to join the group .
After concluding your business in Pedestal, the party
traveled back to Fadheela’s lair within the Necromancer’s Spike. Banjo used the
small gold rod with a head showing an opened fanged mouth about to close over a
blue agate that resembles a globe. The sorcerer identified the item as the Sertrous
Key which can be used to activate the Electric Gate found in Fadheela’s lair.
Upon presenting the key to the Electric Gate, the green
lightning bolt split and separated into two bolts, slowly forming a 10 foot
wide hoop of electricity between the poles. The party stepped through the gate
and was transported elsewhere…
You stand atop a small rise. Before you lies a wide river
valley nestled between a range of forested hills. A number of wooden buildings,
mostly barns and storage sheds, are set in a rough semicircle on the floor of
the vale. Carefully planted fields spread to all sides, while a shallow stream flows
to the northwest. Though isolated, this place appears to be a typical farming
community.
Looming over it all, however, is a sight that belies the
mundane appearance of the vale. Recessed into a west-facing cliff is a massive fortress
of dark stone, deeply shadowed by the hollow in which it stands. You can make
out few details, but even from here, the citadel's arrangement of protrusions and
towers is unlike any fortress you have ever seen.
