Our battered heroes return to the ship with the last of their strengths, and are received by the crew. They spend the night resting and tending to their wounds. During the night, the already woounded adventurers had to repel a horde of undead, that tried to overrun the ship.
But, with the help of Asterion, the rest of the group recuperates faster than normal, and at noon, on the next day, they are ready to press forward on the horrors-filled prison. Lochlan decided to stay back, to protect the ship, would the undead try to attack it.

As they make their way towards the bridge, they came across a strange duo, a dwarf and a human, both with shiny armors and what seems as good quality gear, which is odd, for this island.



Rodric the Bright and Binwin the greedy Paladin

It has been a week since Rodric and Binwin met, while both wondered around the defiled island of Spellhold. Rodric's ship was heading to the inland, and he was part of the mission to bring the light of his god to the dark lands in the noth, but some ill winds smashed the ship against the rocks of Spellhold. Only the cleric survived, and after burying his companions, the dark forces of the island raised them as undeads! In the peak moment of the fight, when Rodric was about to be overwhelmed, a shiny crusader emerged from the shadows, a dwarf, wielding a holy symbol, stud his ground against the abominations and eradicated them with the claric's aid, only to run afterwards, and start gathering the dead's belongings, frantically, like a starving person gathering the spoils of a rich dinner.
Binwin's ship had faced a similar destiny, attracted by the foul magic of the island, so both holy warrior joined arms, and marched to see the end of this evil. They would cut it at the neck, and to do so, they should get into the castle that looms from the central hill.
It was then, when they were standing on the bridge, that a colourful group of well equipped seamen approached them.

We're studying skeletons. So far, we've learned that they fall apart when you hit them hard enough, and they don't swim well. Of course, the same facts are true about us. Chizz replies jovially, glad to see something with skin on it.

Kaedyn, striding at the front of their procession, walks straight up to the two in shiny armor. He suspects they might be illusions, being so out of place, and he taps the butt of his javelin against each one in turn, despite their ornery and suspicious looks.

Calling back over his shoulder he says, "They appear to be real, not just talking illusions." Turning back to the newcomers, he replies, "We are going for a stroll inside this place. Bound to be exciting given we almost were killed the last time. We are not always the brightest or luckiest of adventurers, but we don't lack courage or senses of humor. I am Kaedyn Thorngood, warrior at large."

Asterion stands his ground, nodding to the pair. Your arms and armor appear to be well crafted. Would you perhaps like to accompany us? Our "experiments" would welcome new weapons against the undead. Asterion smiles grimly, and thinks to himself Furthermore, that way we can keep an eye on you in case you turn out to be untrustworthy.

A pleasure, as it always is meeting new living fellows in this cursed island. The warrior name is Kaedyn, a fierce sailor. My greenish friend is called Chizz, a dextreous ranger. And the server of Ilmater, Cliff. I always confuse their names, cos' they sound so similar, so don't worry if you do too. My horned fellow is Asterion, an awe inspiring blacksmith. As for myself, the name is Taran from Mountain Fold and I'm a druid.
I believe it's better if we stay together. As you said Rodric, the walking dead fear the light ot Amaunator!
Says Taran encouraged by this encounter.

Alas, that is not a castle. It's worse than an evil looking castle. It's a prison, and not just any regular prison. It a mage prison. This island, is the prison of the Cowled Wizards of Amn. Also known as Spellhold. So I guess this undead are the wrongdoing of a necromancer who took over the prison. Grimly says Taran.
