Gable" data-source="post: 2003155" data-attributes="member: 4144">Skimmer nods and leads you into the streets once more.  He leads you past the imposing structure of the Overlord's fortress, and to the shadow of the city walls.  He runs his hands along the wall and eventually finds a secret door, which he casts open.  After passing through the portal, you find yourselves on a sloping bluff overlooking the sea.  He casts his eyes back and forth.  "No watchers.  Good."  The pirate sets off down the slope.  It is easy going, and after a moment you find yourselves on the shore below.  As you progress northward along the beach, the bluffs grow sharper and more jagged, and soon you find yourselves looking up a horizontal cliff-face nearly 100 feet high, all of it bare stone, at a dark structure -- the Overlord's palace.  Skimmer says nothing at first, but merely walks towards the wall.  And then in.  He sticks his head and arms back out.  "Come on then, this is the way in.  Carved out by the Ice Barbarians, they say, during one of their raids, masked by a powerful Kaltese sorcerer, and now appropriated by the Lakuri.  This tunnel'll lead you right into the cellars of the palace, where you'll find our cap'n."</blockquote>
