[QUOTE="Satin Knights, post: 6361497, member: 6666968"] With a final choice of the approach plan, things are taking shape. Tying off the horses so they can drink from the stream, the group sets out on foot. Swinging wide around to the south before starting up the rolling hills, you avoid the attention of the sentries at the top of the twin stone columns. In fact, as you sneak a peek from time to time, the postures of the sentries seems to be unwavering, looking out over the road approach. Moving through the forest gives way to sparse trees and tall and low weeds. The uneven hills at least gives some cover, but the journey is a bit tiresome, as it is all up hill. At least the return back once you are done will be an easier journey. At least you hope, or otherwise the tale may turn into one of those grampa stories of olden days. Reaching the crest and upper plateau, you find the fort. Dilapidated, run down, shambles... trashed. Yep, trashed seems to be the best description of what is before you. Much of the outer walls have collapsed. There is no checkpoint or tower as the dirt road enters the fort grounds and makes its way to the front doors. Is there doors there, or just a hole in the wall? From this distance it is hard to be sure. Whoever has been occupying the place has cut most of the trees, but a few on the south side approach still stand. Once you get a little closer, you see why. Bearing fruit, these trees seem to have been slightly more valuable than firewood. Beyond the fort is air. You had been told that there is a cliff on the far side. Well, that side is not far from the fort at all, maybe twenty to fifty feet. [sblock=Status] The group is at about CV54. So far as you can tell, you have snuck up to this point without being spotted. You are about 500' from the building. 11/11 HP ~ AC 16 ~ Darvus ~ 12/12 HP ~ AC 17 ~ Yosephus ~ 26/26 HP ~ AC 22 ~ Muzdum ~ 10/10 HP ~ AC 16 ~ Devlin ~ [COLOR=#000000]..[/COLOR]7/7[COLOR=#000000]..[/COLOR]HP ~ AC 12 ~ Tamarie ~ [/sblock][sblock=Map][IMG]http://lpf.coloredpixels.com/Return/Approach5.png[/IMG][/sblock] [/QUOTE]
