# [[059_20220501 Getting there is half the fight]] ## Session Summary > [!tldr] [[059_20220501 Getting there is half the fight]] > As soon as the castle doors were unlocked by the magical and mechanical gears that were triggered by Ora placing the crown on the iron hart, Wrath, three fey knights came rushing out to charge at Uldun and Jamedi, who had been scouting in the area. It took some time to get everyone into the fight, some (like Flint) significantly more than others. Jamedi fell unconscious during the battle, but was revived by Kryx and Lira. > > A faerie noble joined the fray, but quickly gave up his henchmen for lost and darted back into the castle, attempting to flee and potentially warn others about the arrival of the party. However, Ora was able to _dimension door_ with Boris into the castle in time for them to finish him off. Before he died, he warned you that you were too late: the Shadowfell would take over this realm. ^summary %% <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_HDpejw_hV4" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> %% --- ## Housekeeping ## Recap ![[058_20220421 To Wrath goes the crown#^summary]] ## Strong start > You hear this loud grinding noise of gears coming from the entrance of the castle.
