The portal swings open to reveal the beautiful interior of the fortress. The sounds of singing and laughter fill the air and a great sense of victory fills the place!
As you walk through the entrance way you see a foot stone with the same image on as you have just pressed...
Lifting up your head you see a spectacular sight. Inside the fortress is a mini kingdom full of bustling activity. Many Knights in shining armour, Warriors of the Ssorc are busy preparing for something, moving with great purpose. Many stop to smile at you or even hug you and welcome you here.
There are four huge towers reaching into the sky at the corners of the fortress with one huge pyramid tower, towering above the others. Inside are many buildings of different shapes and sizes amidst beautiful parks, swimming pools and the like.
As you are puzzling over what to do, out of one of the doors at the entrance way comes...

...a welcoming looking bear pointing in the air with a teacher's authority. "Come follow me Warrior of Ssorc, my name is Ediug." As you are quickly following him, he extends a warm hand and you shake it."There are others you must shake the hand of, for that is your mission. Find your team first then prepare for your battle quest." |

The bear pauses by a computer screen on a wall near the entrance. The screen has many buttons each referring to a different location within the fortress. At first it seems mind boggling. But the bear continues...
"Listen carefully to what I say, you can always call for help any time but you will have to start from the beginning. You must get the order correct at each stage or you will return to the start. Now...listen carefully..."
The bear takes a deep breath then starts his memorized narration,"First you will need to meet up with your team, The Sojourners, made up of yourself, their servant-leader, Dogfo Raef, Enivid Regna and Nevigrof". Your heart warms at their mention and you look forward to shaking their hands once again.
"Then",continues Ediug,"You must go up the pyramid tower to see your quest from up high. Look East to see the battle field and study it well because your team has been chosen to go ahead of the main army as scouts. You must prepare the way, meeting any obstacles as they come and crushing them. You will clear the way through the plains of Oddigem all the way to Nogard and Tsirch Itna."
You don't fully understand what he says, but still listen carefully as he rattles on,"Then you must all go to the place of Rest to be refreshed and strengthened, then eat from the tree of life and finally go to the great Dance where all are awaiting their marching orders from the King! Got that?".
Without waiting for your reply he dissapears and leaves you before the computer screen alone.
What will you do?
