With the roof secured, the team raced downstairs, only to find an ambush waiting for them. In the cramped hallway of the fortress, it was difficult to gain ground, but slowly, the tide turned against the Ragesian forces. In time, the tower was retaken, the only survivor being the resident Inquisitor herself. A cursory search of the watchtower located a sizeable amount of documents to prove Ragesian invasion, from orders and troop movements to books of propaganda.
Most notably, the orders included mention of weather mage associates, and something called "Madness" that was at work in Dassen. Worried about the involvement of another Trillith, the crew spent the night in the tower, before racing back to Gallo's Fend the next day. Passing along word of the fallen watchtower, Gallo's troops began to mobilize northward, re-establishing control. Though the horses were pushed to their limits, the squad arrived back at nightfall.
Duke Gallo summoned them the next day to outline the next mission... Steppengard's forces should arrive in just over a week. Before that happens, he needs to secure support from Dashgoban and Timor. It's going to be another week of racing the clock, to prepare for the upcoming Civil War...
SESSION NOTES: One of the players nearly lost their mind at the table when I said the word "madness," suddenly realizing that the trillith were a bigger part of this than expected.
