Kinner's Fort

“I know a gal, but we may need to do something for her” Jane lights up when she hears Kinner’s Fort “Kinner’s Fort is a place I am fondly aware of, but I fear that they may not like me coming back.” Her face went from gleeful to dreadful recalling how she ruined a handful of people’s lives and nearly burned down the entire fort. She kept that part to herself.

Faervel sensing an issue unresolved within the child ignored it and turned back to Robert “How shall we precede?”

“If I recall that last time Jane went to Kinner’s Fort things nearly caused a war between neighbors” Robert sternly looks toward Jane who has a guilty face. “An apology may be needed, but who knows perhaps they have forgotten what she looks like. It has been six seven years.” Jane nodded in hopes that they have forgotten her.

Faervel looks at the two of wondering what exactly happen, but decided not to push it. Instead she got an idea and went through her sack on her horse. Digging through she discovered it and pulled it out. A red robe with reflective dust on it. “This shall do for a disguise.” Jane put it on and the three continued on to Kinner’s Fort.

Nearing the fort near nightfall two guards stood at the gate noticing a company of two with three horses. Halting the couple one asks for identification and reason for entering. The other guard walks around with a lantern striking the horse that had no one in the middle part hearing a loud female human like sound of mild pain.

He turns to look there when Robert distracts him with a question “Sir any good ale here?” Holding his lantern with that question the guard looks at and ignores his question and continues his inspection around the other horses.

“Plenty of ale sir” The first guard who was reading Faervel’s identification “he is mute and deaf don’t bother.” Robert simply nodded at this seeing the second guard heading away from them back to his position. “Alright all is clear here move along.”

Faervel moved in first uncertain how far this would go with Jane. Robert took the two horses and walked forward. As he walked past the second guard lifted his stick hitting the empty region above the empty horse pulling the invisible person down to the ground. Jane’s robes removed their hidden abilities once discovered. The first guard pulled the hood off and looked at her carefully. Faervel and Robert froze waiting to see what would happen next.

The second guard lifted his lantern down to the face to take a closer look. The first guard recognizing who she was within moments screamed “THE WITCH IS BACK!!!” Faervel rushed back striking the second guard down to the ground. Robert pulling two horses moved around and hit the first guard. Jane scurried up and ran far away from this hell hole named Kinner’s Fort.

Eventually getting on her horse the three of them rush out of the area as sirens were blown behind them. The idea that such a fort could never forgive a child mischievous act means it was severe back in the day. None of them vowed to ever go back to that old fort. It was time to head toward Isengrimm’s Marsh.
