The party began their scouting mission by sending an invisible Coutal on the ethereal plane to scout the fortress. They very quickly realized that knocking on the front door would probably be suicide. So they formulated the plan of tunneling underneath the fortress. The plan went fairly smoothly with Warlic able to use mirage arcane to create a tunnel. Once inside the party quickly felt lost due to the labyrinth of hallways and doors. They began to slowly make their way through the maze being extremely cautious at every door they find. Their cautious nature pays off as they spot a multitude of arcane and mechanical traps. The party discovered some sort of laboratory which seemed to be doing experiments on a small little green creature. Warlic quickly gathered the notes and began to peer into what work was being done. He found the books to have an enchantment on them as he could remember reading them but never the contents of the book. The party found a few capsules with a strange skeletal creature inside with various bits of tubing. They quickly destroyed the capsules and continued further. They discovered a few more traps and a hallway that seemed to be a desterilization chamber. They found a room with a large stone structure. It had a large black pit in the center that seemed to be endless. There was various arcane symbols on the structure, which Warlic identified as Mordekainens motivate sanctum, Forbiddance, arcane gate, and Gate. There was other arcane symbols in which Warlic was unable to identify. The party pondered what to do...
