===Day Twenty Nine - Leaving for Fort Frostfell===
The party make their way to [[FortFrostfell|Fort Frostfell]], where using  the information gained from Sir Brenaform Steelcrest, they find the secret door and enter the cellars, avoiding some traps and defeating a couple of skeletons.   Exploring further, they come across a pair of suits of dwarven armour, that animate and attack.  An undead wight (named '''Gothmog Plaguereaper''') joins the battle and calls for assistance from a woman warrior who was in a room nearby.  As the woman comes out and exchanges blows with Drex, Cormir gets knocked out and Drex turns his attentions to the wight, at which point, she disengages, uninterested in fighting further, either to help the PCs against the wight, or to help the wight against the PCs.   At the end of combat, just after Cormir has come around, he is handed the wight’s sword, which reacts painfully to his good nature, and he passes out again!  The woman’s name is [[Crushade|Harlyot Crushade]], an ex-captain of the watch from Safeharbour.  She explains she was rescued from a flash flood a week after the first meteor struck by a wizard named '''Ralekai Gravemore''', who in turn, explained that he had recently awoken, having been buried beneath the glacier for a thousand years.   He didn’t seem like undead, but…  who knows.  Apparently, he was researching a cure for something called “The Demon Plague”- and he persuaded Harlyot how important his work was.   She has since been helping him, though isn’t happy with her current assignment - which is basically keeping an eye on a disgusting gnome magic user called [[Barrypot|Harlan Barrypot]]. Harlan, despite being a cowardly slob, had also been “rescued” by Ralekai, and had been tasked with investigating the ancient library in Fort Frostfell, to see if anything of any use in Ralekai’s research.   Talking with Harlyot, the PCs discuss the goblins in the fort above, and Harlyot explains that she disapproves with Ralekai’s recruitment of goblins to capture subjects for his research - _“for the greater good”_.   She also really hated the fact that Ralekai had assigned the wight to keep an eye on everything at Fort Frostfell.  Unwilling to go against Ralekai directly, she was however happy to let the PCs take care of the goblins.  After a short rest, the party headed up to the keep, where they discovered a room full of prisoners where three hobgoblins were busy amputating a limb from one of them.  They start a fight with them…
