August 1, 2009: Breaching the Fortress

August 1st:
Dramatis Personae: 
(Party name yet to be determined)
* Mark - River Wolven warden level 3
* Matt - Vitrano Deva avenger level 3
* Jim - Mungo Ratkin rogue level 3
* John - Dirge Human warlock Level 2
* Kieth - Kava Dragonborn paladin level 3
* Ray - Kristof wizard level 3
Vitrano attempts to buy a healing potion and is directed to a merchant who travels to the Harrowlands regularly.
Party ventures back to the Drake cave after some debate as to whether they would go after the ogre in the area.
At the drake cave they encounter the undead remnants of the large drakes they dispatched earlier. After dispatching the biggest one, it got back up and needed to be dispatched again.
The door was locked, and barred from the other side. Dirge teleported to the other side of the door and removed the bar. With the door open the party gathered they closed and barred the door behind them. Then the specters attacked.
First came the minions, who all AOE'ed and did some damage to the party. After dispatching most of them, undead officers appeared. These also AoEed, and the party was knocked on the ground. What they didn't noticed was that Mungo stopped moving and breathing.
After taking care of the specters we looted the room, it looked picked over already, but we found a Bag of Holding that was entrusted to Vitrano.
The party decided to go back, and got Mungo rezzed. Got some info from Niviar about the fortress and how the soldiers will reappear unless the fortress is destroyed or the orders to guard the place are revoked.
They then sought out the ogre, ambushed him as he came out of his hole.
With the ogre dead, party returns to the drake cave.
The party, now joined by Kristof, return to the fortress. This time the party spread out upon entering and mitigated a lot of the AoE damage. The party re-killed the specters, and opened the door to further in.
A stair led down but a hole in the middle of it led to a cavern underneath. In the cavern we heard a warforged call for help. A couple party members went down and awoke several zombies in the cavern. The party dispatched the zombies and learned that the Warforged was a Sentinel and was part of a group investigating the fortress. He said he would come with us if someone would swear to get the info to the sentinels headquarters upon leaving, else he would leave and attempt the journey himself.
