The party arrive at Sunblight where they see a massive fortress with a winding stone staircase carved into the rock face. As they start their ascent they hear a huge grinding noise come from the top of the building as a door opens and they see a massive chardyln dragon fly out heading towards Ten Towns.
They use their sending and pass the message back to the speaker in Bryn Shander that they should seek shelter and spread the word. The response they get is "Find out where it's headed" and they decide to go inside and see what they can discover.
Mochi approaches the door seeing a single guard watching over the entrance, but she is able to sneak by and discover that the door is very locked, as she searches the stone wall for secrets she attracts the attention of the guard who quickly disappears.
A short time after they hear the door unlock and they try and are able to open it. Inside they see a series of arrow slits around and entry room, sending Snowy owl in they see a guard watching through one of the slits, they use invisible Nox to sneak past and discover a door to the guard room. Throt impatient as ever rushes in and grabs the guard through the arrow slit and they start the fight, Nox by this time is in the guard room and the rest of the party come through to join him. They fight and in the end there are 8 dead Deuergar in the room, and one who surrenders, introducing himself as Bruvo the guard that let them in.
He explains that Grandolpha Muzgardt is staging a coup over Xaradok and that she will aid them. He had been tasked to let anyone in who posed a significant danger to Xaradok and as such that is why they are in the stronghold.
He explains that this level is secure for now and that when they are rested they can have an audience with Grandolpha and he is sure she will be a powerful ally
