Welcome to the Abandoned Fortress! This ancient castle is located at the northeasternmost point of the Lion Kingdom, near the Shadow Kingdom. Long since abandoned by those who once lived there, it is now home mainly to groups of orcs, trolls, and bandits. The labyrinth hidden below the fortress holds many secrets and riches, but many dangers as well. Beware all who come here, and trust no one you meet, besides yourself and your friends. Or maybe not even your friends. . ..
Since the destruction of the Kaspik Wardens, this place has become a refuge of sorts for displaced peoples in search of a new home. It is managed by a mysterious woman called Alinor, who has driven out many of the more troublesome residents. At the same time, talk has sprung up in the Lion Kingdom of using the fortress as a secondary stronghold.
It is just past midafternoon when Daniel’s expedition arrives at the Abandoned Fortress. Approaching the gate, they are surprised to find it not so abandoned after all. Atop the gate stand two men, one a human dressed in a white tunic emblazoned with a black cross and the other an orc in ill-fitting armor. “You stand before the castle Latter Zweihand, domain of duchess Rietta of Seebring, the lady in Schwarstein and uncrowned queen of Sylvania, Lord Eldarion Cyril, and the gracious benefactor Lady Alinor. State your business!” demands the human.
With a shock of realization, Goatie remembers that the men he and Jednook fought here wore the same uniform as this soldier.

Jednook the wingless griffin, ridden by Goatie, quails at the fortress-inhabitant's attire, stepping backwards into a following horse ridden by a Lion member who has managed to find himself at the rear of the expedition over the course of its journey.
'Watch out,' says the nameless Lion soldier, his horse making a fuss of being bumped into. 'What's with your ... your steed - Oh, you're the one who ran into these Fortress types before, eh?'
''Oh, sorry, yes,' stammers Goatie. Recollections of the troll-like creatures he and Jednook had encountered not long ago begin to streak through his mind as he cranes his neck to see what is going on at the front of the procession. He also wonders when and how (or even, if) Daniel would be using them (Goatie and Jed) as 'guides'...

Goatie stirs from the train of reflective thoughts. 'Yes, I'm all right, but my memories of this place are less than pleasant!'
OOC: No problem.
"I understand. Should we inform Lord Daniel?"
Goatie pauses to think a while. 'Well, if these are the knights who attacked us when we where 'ere last then they're not the most hospitable people.' He frowns as he fidgets with Jednook's head feathers while speculating the situation.

'What do you think?' he asks Liam.
"I think he needs to know about this to decide what we're to do." He sends Alun up to the front with the message.
OOC: Now we need to wait for Tigress. Hopefully she'll be here again soon.
