After defeating the monster, we tried going across the dried riverbed to the city, but we were spotted and accosted by minotaurs and locusts. This series of battles left us bruised and battered. We needed to recuperate, so we went back to the army and took an hour’s rest. Wyn and Garnet were particularly rough, so we left them behind; I brought along Mishra instead.
We went back to the city and thankfully went unattacked until we got to the watchtower. Fighting our way up, one of the rooms had an empty cage in it. Fay, however, insisted that a cloaked figure was inside. Once we cleared the room of demons, she went over to the cage and started having a conversation with nobody. This was somewhat troubling, especially when she seemingly produced a demonic glaive out of midair! Apparently, she had been talking to her goddess Shelyn, who cloaked her presence from the rest of us. Shelyn gave Fay this glaive to put in the Corruption Forge after we figured out how to reverse its effects, turning the glaive into a holy weapon.
We reached the top of the watchtower and defeated the demons there, then I signaled to the army to advance. The six of us used magic to fly to the top of the Drezen citadel, and we went inside. After a couple more battles, we discovered the Corruption Forge. We realized we couldn’t change it then and there; we’d need powerful arcane magic to do so, so we decided to come back after the battle was won and have one of the army’s mages do it - perhaps Ruta.
