I make a Might check of 18 to avoid injuries from the volley of arrows. I grab a log from #12 and use it as an improvised battering ram against the gate. Doing it this way would have spared me any injuries, but no matter. Unfortunately, I can't use the cannon blasts as I have not yet completed the Ready the Cannons quest. I decide to smash my way through the gate at #14. There will be a few Iron Flail Soldiers that the evil party dispatches with relative ease at #13. None of these encounters are particularly difficult by now. They also kill a Menpwgra and a Snow Bear at #5. The evil party begins a campaign of slaughter against the Iron Flail soldiers, starting on the east side perimeter. *Evil* The evil party takes a far bloodier path to reach the Command Post, as described below. Once I do get to the rampart, I go through the door at #18 to reach the one at #19. It requires a mixture of patient waiting and sometimes retreating before I get the break. The key is to use the rampart on the north side of the fort, but to do so I have start up the stairs to the rampart when neither a patrolling guard or a War Hound are around. Now I sneak my way towards the door to the Command Post at #24. Note that I can only pull this off at night. I use a Rope and Grappling Hook first, and then I send Sagani to unbar the gate from the other side without alerting anybody. I click on the West Gate at #8 to begin a scripted interaction. ![]() I manage to make it to the northwest corner and speak to the Idle Villager and his girlfriend at #6, who provides some background information, especially about the Commander of the Iron Flail Army. Also, there are far less troops on either side if you come here at night. *Note* It is easier to pull it off on the east side, where there's less soldiers, than on the west side. I sometimes have to sit and wait for gaps, and sometimes have to zig zag east and west, to avoid getting spotted. ![]() The good party manages to sneak through the soldiers on the east side, although a lot of care is needed. I go a little north, and then have Kana use a Rite of Walking Shadows he had been saving up. I start off at #1 on the map of the Iron Flail Fort.
