The group moved to the hills looking for Klaus, by passing the hamlet of Baden. They moved up into the Neustat hills, fighting off the cold chilly rains that seemed to strike them as they got there. The group spent several hours climbing the chilly hills before calling it a night. The next morning was still rainy with a bit of cold. The hills them selves seemed not right. What shadows there were made no sense in relationship to the light.

Finally, they spotted the castle up along a high cliff side. With on side of the trail being a vertical climb and the other side a vertical drop the group came upon two columns, one on each side of the road. As the group moved past the columns black lightning bolts attacked the front group,damaging the druids bear, and Kelana, both ran in fear from the bolts. They were stopped by Pappis who cast a web spell on the two of them. Vanion also tried the space between the columns and was also blasted and ran in fear. After retrieving the compatriots the group climbed up and round the columns. The castle was before them and they knocked on the door. The knocker on the door asked a question, the group responded and the door was eventually opened. Adjusting their eyes for the darkness within the room the group was startled by the appearance of a thin man with a goatee and stringy hair. He was Klaus. Gunter presented the offer from Duncan and the others. Klaus said that he would ponder it and give the group an answer in the morning. He offered them the room that they were in for the evening. In the morning Klaus came down with a document and told the group to present it to Duncan and the others.

The group teleported back, presented Duncan with the document and relaxed for a couple of days, training the Gnomes in some of the weapons that group had captured.

The group was given another assignment, to go to the city of Bergstat and destroy a supply center within the city. The group left and decided to travel away from the river around the Larue Hills. They came into the town of Arcy, where they helped rescue a small child who had fallen into a well. The group was feted and a celebration ensued. They all crawled off to bed. About 3am Kelana who was the only one awake heard a noise and tried to wake the others with no success. Kelana was a little unsure of her footing. The door opened and several men went in and were suprised that somebody was still standing. A short fight ensued but Kelana went down.

The group awoke to find themselves in chains, naked….
