Episode Five: The Wolf Among Us
For the dwarven group, the trip is a short on. The old highway that runs around the edge of the ruins took the group directly into a courtyard, much the same as described by the Fyreworm clan's own keep. Just inside of the entryway, a heavily fortified position with machine gun nests on sandbags points down the winding and sloping road; a precaution in the event the PCA ever discover the tunnel. Explosive charges meant to collapse the tunnel sit idle along the underground walls; an even more extreme precaution should the enemy discover the route.
As the group emerges, a half elf who is identified as Sylvis greets Major Prein. Those of the party who are non-dwarf are escorted by Sylvis and four guards, while a fair sized medical staff ushers the dwarves along in a different direction. Mixed looks of both relief as well as confusion wash over their faces as they watch their saviors from the mountain vanish behind closed door. In the holding room, you barely have time to take a seat before the door opens again, with a hooded man escorting Beloc, Apache, and Shiaran in.
-----
As Shiaran and Beloc are escorted to the keep, they're brought through a series of cut throughs and tunnels that pass beneath the public eye in District Two, where the civilian population is holed up and guarded. The way shortens the trip drastically, making what would be nearly an hour trip a more direct half hour. Even the way Wyck leads them into the keep is via unseen passage. The pair and their guard emerge into a tucked away antechamber from behind a sliding book case. From there, four guards remain with Wyck as he continues escorting Beloc and Shiaran to what looks to be a sort of holding area. The room is relatively plain. The walls are painted bleach white, and the crystal sconces on the wall give off a clean white glow as well. As they are brought in, they find Sypher, Rebort, Krem, Sigurd, and Gazra already sitting on the uncomfortable chairs provided. Irja, Oro, Kallium, and Darius are conspicuously absent.
"Have a seat, and await questioning" commands Wyck. As he glances around the room at everyone, his eyes fall on Gazra. His face screws up into a scowl and he leaves the room. The heavy iron door shuts loudly behind him, and a thick locking mechanism clicks in place. A blue sigil begins to glow on the door.
