#50 Entering the Fortress
General Summary
After the bridge guarded by the Balhannoth proved to be illusory, the Adventurers deliberate again on how they will attempt to cross the chasm to Xarin's central island. They eventually decide that they will return to Zolag fortress and attempt to sneak in.
On the way back, Aelen Moongrove discovers the gryphon of his figurine of wonderous power is injured and cannot be healed by normal means. Korradin Xerthall and Draktus Glayde continue in their bickering, prompting Tia Tsukiko to ask Sylvia for guidance on if she should remain with her friends. Sylvia tells her that often being with your friends is more important than what your friends are doing.
Once they return to Kyrecia Aeliro's camp overlooking the fortress, the adventurers rest another night before attempting to sneak in. Over the evening Tia makes more progress on healing Kyrecia's branded glyhp, but she still cannot completely remove it. The next morning they use invisibility to sneak behind a group of prisoners being led over the bridge. They avoid detection, and are able to make it into the fortress itself undetected. Once inside, they narrowly avoid a Myrmidon as it is unlocking a cell of prisoners, and continue through the castle. For a brief time, they are able to take advantage of Tia's ghostly gaze, which makes navigating the first few rooms much safer.
