There is a knock on the door, says there is someone reproaching the keep. We get to the wall and they are already walking back towards their camp. They say Sunkrag is going to wait us out and have us starve.

A cat shows up in front of Kross and hisses at him. Perrols yells “Kross duck!”. Kross is slow to react (missed DEX by 3).
He next says there is a ghost behind Kross.

Glaive does a sweep behind Kross (hear some wailing), Kross then ducks and pulls his sword and then Perrol attacks (more wailing).

The ghost attacks Kross. With some presser on the his head, Kross hears whispers “Attack the Lord”. It did not affect Kross. Kross will dive out of the way and away from the ghost.

The horses are striped and tied down, so they do not wander off. At low tied Kross will head back over to get the boat. On our side, Kross will spot a patrol of orcs on the opposite side. Will wait till the orc pass and head across the river.

Got to the wall and called up (so he would not get shot), Jarlyn calls back and said its ok to come up. Informs of the plan to bring the others over to the keep.

Ask about the boat. Told where it is and they will send a guy with Kross and Jarlyn to help find the boat. We find the spot and set off to get the others. We get the others and come back towards the keep. Our cargo is off loaded near the keep and all but the private and Kross will get out. They will row back and hide the boat again.

Caption Ullerson meets up with us. He takes us to the young lord.

We get to the lord and Perrol says there is something there, pointing right past and behind Kross (and to grab the cat). Kross does not seeing anything there, but knows that with his visiojarlynn, there could be something there. Both Perrol and Ghoral both get a hit. It devolves and Kross knows it to be ghosts (and from Jarlyn, EVIL).

Burne is from Thordar and they subscribe to the High Church (they can do priest magic).

Find out that the high priest died two weeks ago, about four days before the orc attack.

We are looking around the keep and are starting with the priest’s room.

Ahead, will see Perrol and Jarlyn look into the chapel, Perrol and Jarlyn are zoned out suddenly (mental damage) , with Jarlyn also throwing up.

Jarlyn is making plans to improve his mental defenses.

We go into the chapel.

Jarlyn detect evil underneath the chapel.

A inscription is found on the podium/alter that is in the chapel. It reads:

“Once set in a wall of black, now behind walls of white, the alter stone lies buried. The sacred place built around it.”

We search the library and find one scroll in a chest that’s different. It’s a map of keep called Stonegard and it has a black square in it. Kross notices that almost half of the foundation could cover same foundation. Kross also notices there may be an entrance on the cliff face.

We explore for the tunnel on the cliff face and we find what might be a set of stairs and then above it is a place in the cliff wall that has a crack. There are fresh orc prints going into it, i.e. within the last 24 hours

We get to the wall’s edge, ask if it ok to come up and talk. Got ok. Kross will carry Jarlyn up the wall to their surprise. We ask to speak to their leader.

Taken to one of the Castle’s towers. A higher up leads us to Lord. The Lord knows of our Group 42. We inform him of things.

Kross will head back to meet up with the other.

Meet up with the others and inform of what we learned at thenCastle. We camp away and set up double watches.

Burne found us on the last watch with Kross/Perrol.

Burne says he rec a message from the High Church, saying the priest had a vision that if the Castle fell, they should find out what the other orc take from the Castle and follow them.
