[QUOTE="weem, post: 4700297, member: 9470"] [SIZE="5"]Session 15: Mar 7, 2009[/SIZE] [SIZE="3"]Chapter IV: Familiar Ground[/SIZE] [B]From The Depths[/B] Having ended combat with the fortress, Torbor ordered the fortress deactivated - everyone pulled the 8 crystals from their positions. His hope was that without any source of power, the fortress could not port away from the feywild giving him time to clear out the fortress and prepare it for occupation. The Seekers were bringing someone in with intimate knowledge of these kinds of fortresses but he would not he there for two days. [i](During this time, Fenwick arrived with Roland in tow. Roland had apparently been dropped form the fortress to a different location where he was kidnapped by the snake people. After being lead from camp to camp over the next 2 days, he was rushed by his captors onto the fort after it appeared, moving through the chaos and fighting outside. Once inside he was held captive in a room with two humans, though he was unable to speak to them. After an unknown amount of time (day or two) Fenwisk suddenly showed up... many of the snake men fled the room - those that stayed regretted it immediately as they were attacked suddenly by a high pitch ringing in their ears. Their ears bled and they fell to the floor as Fenwick released the humans and Roland. The humans left down a side passageway, and Roland followed Fenwick all the way to the rest of the group).[/i] The rest of the group wanted to immediately attack Fenwick - they aggressively approached him demanding he give their box back. He did so, and let them keep his box when they offered it back. Fenwick then warned them that he should keep the box - that they would regret keeping it sooner than they could imagine - but they chose to keep it. Fenwick then warned the Seekers (Kasen particularly - the leader of their group) that bringing "Redger" here would be a terrible mistake. The Seekers scoffed at him, and the PC's were in agreement - Fenwick could not be trusted. He went on his way, satisfied that he had tried. That day, Ketana studied the box with the aid of the Seekers as well as helped them in the study of the fortress looking for more information that could help aid them in predicting its next location to which it would port. The next day, Redger arrived (a day early) and to everyone's surprise, he was a Duergar dwarf! The Seekers lead him up to the control platform. They wanted to be sure the fort could not go anywhere and that it was safe to keep in the feywild for further exploration/occupation. Redger ordered the fortress activated. Once activated, it spoke to him... "I know you" "Yes you do", Redger responded. He then began speaking to the fort in his native language, which no one seemed to understand. As he spoke to the fort, one of Torbors men came up to the platform having ran the whole way... "They are coming", he panted "Who? The snake men?", Torbor asked "No", the man replied, "HIS kind!" he said, pointing a finger at Redger At that, Redger drew his knife and lunged for Kasen saying "This is the end" before doing so. A fight ensued from which Redger was killed. It seemed he knew he was to sacrifice his life. However, during the fight some of the players tried to remove crystals, but they would not budge. Kasen, at the start of combat, knelt down and began casting a ritual. After the fight ended, he finished the ritual - Water Breathing. At that moment, ocean water began pouring in from side passages slowly filling its way up towards them 150 feet above. "That place we hoped the fort would not go... we have arrived" The fortress had ported into the ocean. The players, as well as the Seekers, Torbor and one of his men, managed to swim their way up to the surface from where they could see the lights of a town (Rugalov) on a nearby shore. They eventually arrived to find that the town was under attack by Troglodytes and Snake people. After a few encounters, they were able to kill off the creatures and discover that they had come "from the ocean" as some of the citizens of the town had witnessed... and so it was assumed they indeed came from the fortress as well. The fighting had gone through to the morning, so as the sun rose, they were being hailed as heroes but inside they felt guilt for having been a part of the reason the monsters were here in the first place. That day they were treated like kings... free food and rooms. They slept until mid afternoon only to find an even larger crowd had gathered around the Inn in which they stayed. The mayor (of Rugalov) spoke with them that afternoon... he asked them questions about where they were from - how did they come to find the town in danger, etc. The group did a poor job of lying and it was apparent to the mayor details were being kept from him. But despite that he thanked them and rewarded them with horses to help them on their way - though they were more than welcome to stay.
