Wizard Major Bridges should be in + charge when the Altasian force moves in; if he is slain, he will + hopefully be revived. Many ancillaries are also in the fort, and + should be dealt with. + - Setting a trap on Torvock's Bridge will make killing General Van DeMere + easier. + - The plan is to negotiate with the river giants at the bridge to setup + an ambush. Both the third army of Altae, led by several members turned + by Calcifer, and The Horde are converging on the spot. + +- We decide to go after the fort! Kaldur gives us some resources and + information: an address for gear to infiltrate the fort with, and a + description of the contact he has in the town, Private Mayonayse; and a fire + shroud for incinerating Captain Skylan's body. + - We travel by _phantom steed_ to Fort Rather. We disguise ourselves to get + into the town, and make our way to the address for our infiltration gear. + - After grabbing the uniforms, Sir Oliver has a side-quest to do, and we all + head to the Arcane Brotherhood Tower. Sir Oliver does what he needs to do, + and we all head back to the address. + - We decide to track down Private Mayo. Sir Oliver and Wondermitch head out + to town, while the rest of us remain at the address. Wondermitch does + eventually spot him, and makes contact. + - Mayo stops by the address, and discusses our options: replace the + soldiers responsible for a horse feed shipment; alternatively, forge entry + papers. We decide on option. We will head south, find the soldiers + responsible, bribe them, and take over responsibilities. They would likely + assume we're trying to smuggle something in. + - A reasonable bribe is 30 gp per head + - Holy water is a common item to smuggle in; it's used by some of the + guards to bless themselves at night. + - We will approach them in uniform; there are enough guards at the fort + that none of them know everyone. + - We leave at first light, heading south. We disguise ourselves, and + eventually come across 3 tieflings leading a pack mule. We bribe them, + take the papers and the mule, and make to the feed store. The farmer takes + our names, loads the feed, and we depart back for the fort. + +- Next time, we pick up with infiltration and combat at Fort Rather! + +## Player Characters +- Gadafthree, a mythic tengu summoner, bearer of the mantle of the caller of the + deep (Bill) +- Wondermitch, a mythic human sorcerer, bearer of the mantle of the star-born + (Thans) +- Sir Oliver Withatwist, a mythic fetchling warpriest, bearer of the mantle of + the velvet blade (Dan) +- Duke "Boss" Dukes, a water fae rake (Mike) +- O'Shea Jackson, a Winter Court fae swashbuckler-thug (James) + +## Locations +- Baron Black's Castle + +## NPCs and Notable Characters +- Baron Kaldur Black, a mythic fae arcane trickster, bearer of a mantle of + heroes + +## Other Notes +- Our fake names: + - Gad Green (Gad'af Sree) + - Private Murphy (OJ) + - Private Boss (Dukes) + - Private Poopy Corn (Twistfuck) + - Private Wandermuch (Wondermitch) + +## Upcoming Events +- Once we deal with Captain Skylan, we need to make haste to Torvock's Bridge!
