[QUOTE="RayneBlythewood9, post: 2023498, member: 25931"] [b]The old dwarven stronghold....[/b] Ok so broken fang happens to be an old dwarven stronghold that the dwarven miners could fall back to in dire times. In a shocking coincidence they have abandoned it, and now people that ambushed us are its new occupants. We were able to use some prying eyes to sneak in and check the place out. Marcus described what they saw as they went around. At the front was the cave mouth and two guards. About 30 feet in was a wall with some doors and numerous defense positions. Arrow slits, murder holes, and even a boiling substance. Inside of that gate was a type of holding room. You would be surrounded on all sides by walls, with a gate behind you and infront of you. With defensive positions all around you. That was just the front two rooms of course. After we viewed all we could with the prying eyes, we scanned the mountain side for the secret entrance. All dwarven strongholds have a secret entrance. Well we heard that it might and could have one. The odds were against us in finding it, but we did of course. It was a couple hundred feet above the front entrance. Gaining access wasn't really difficult, just slow and steady. We get to the top by the area we think the door should be. It is a well hidden plateau and rock outcropping with a great view. We were able to find some sort of swivel mount system for something on the edge of the rock ledge. The piece we saw twinkle in the sun from down below. Other than that piece we were unable to find exactly where the door was or how to open one if it was their. Night fell and we set watches and camped and slept on the cliff face, without any fire. Around the middle of the night a really old stocky dwarf comes out of the mountain side. Every hair on him was super grey, almost mithril and kinda glowed in the moon light. He had a large spy glass in his hands and placed it in the metal swivel. He then looked over in Ryu our ranger's direction and in dwarven he said, "you are relieved". Then he began scanning the area below and beyond the treeline. Ryu saw him and spoke in a friendly tone to greet the dwarf. The stocky fellow turned white and was shocked someone was their. He did'nt even see any of us sleeping on the right side of the platform. He just came out and got to work. He drew his axe and readied it for defense. After a few minutes of negotiation we were able to figure out he was a ghost stuck in a loop of afterlife. He would take watch everynight. We gathered as much info from the old dwarven ghost that we could and also found the secret entrance into the mountain. We managed to get a layout of the stronghold and were going to assault in the morning. I'll add more about this subject after I get some hot food from the kitchen and a nice warm bath. It's been a while since I could enjoy some of the more fond city life benefits. The wizard begins researching and crafting items, and I just soak in a warm bath.
