  Wed 12th July 2023 In-game timeline: UNKNOWN (4th day in the Shadowfell) Our "Heroes" have the best night's sleep they have had so far in the Shadowfell - though that is not saying much.

The Raven Queen is obviously rooting for our "Heroes"! Cautiously, the party decide to scout around the keep, looking for other possible entrances. It takes them an hour, and they find nothing useful, but there are also no guards around the outside of the keep. Arriving back at the door, Solveig opens the door a crack and listens. He hears the flapping, as if a large bird is stretching its wings. Armed with all this information
