The first group arrives at the gates of the Fortress Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 19/12/2009 05:07:35 AM
The cold rain pounds against the uncaring stone walls of the fortress, looming menacingly from their great height, their pale face broken only by arrow slits and the solitary gate towards which the disguised Armaz, Xanthe and Maravin were headed.

Though the gate is open, it is guarded by four Children of the Light in burnished mail and impeccable white, standing alert from the cover of the gateway. You can guess at the presence of more soldiers patrolling atop the ramparts without the luxury of protection from the rain.

The winter rain saps at your strength and energy, seeming to draw out your fear and anxiety. As you come within reach of the guards, one of the Children steps forth to intercept you. However, before he can shout out any orders, on of the other Children calls out "Light preserve file leader Accan!" and salutes, and the other three snap at attention, the first Child regaining his position as they salute in unison.

And without further trouble, you enter the Fortress of the Light.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.
