Duergar Outpost

Duergar Outpost

A blocky stronghold bereft of warmth or charm juts out of a hillside in a rough crescent shape. Only part of its construction is visible; the rest is buried in the stone.

A large double door of stone serves as the main entrance. The terrain leading to it is a gently upward-sloping plain covered with fresh snow. A stream used to flow out of a barred culvert northeast of the main entrance, but the waterway has frozen. Two other barred openings can be seen along the stronghold’s northern wall. Anyone positioned behind these openings would have an unobstructed view of the hillside.

Closer to you, separated from the rest of the stronghold, is a snow-covered stone bunker perforated by arrow slits.

Duergar

Nestled into the base of Kelvin's Cairn, this ancient outpost once inhabited by elves, now host a large grouping of Duergar lead by Nildar Sunblight.  

Crawling up from the underdark below, the Duergar stumbled upon Caverns full out chardalyn.  Nildar Sunblight moved in his forces along with a large number of enslaved Deep Gnomes and has built a sizable mining operation.  They also control 2 undead Zombie Ogre's that protect the outpost from unwanted visitors as well as serving as a creature to pull sleds of Chardalyn efficiently through the tundra. 

By the time the party find it, It's hard to tell how long this has been going on but appears well established.

Statue of Kessel the Red and the Circle of Suspense

The Statue of Kessel the Red overlooks a Large Arcane Sigil upon the Chamber Floor. Beside it an offering plate with Chalk and Charcoal intended to be used to complete the arcane sigil. 

Grim, Dot and Dzaan are able to work out the details of the necessary pattern to compete the sigil and finds a long suspended Cattie-Brie trapped within.
