Inc. Afl Rights Reserved.  \nPrologue  \nAballister walked along Lakeview Street in Car-radoon, the wizard's black cloak wrapped tight against his skin-and-bones body toward off the wintry blows whipping in from Impresk Lake. He had been in Carradoon less than a day, but had already learned of the wild events at the Dragon's Codpiece. Cadderly, his estranged son and neme-sis, had apparently escaped the assassin band Aballister had sent to kill him.  \nAballister chuckled at the thought a wheezing sound from lips withered by decades of uttering frantic enchantments, channeling so many tingling energies into destructive purposes. Cadderly had escaped? Aballister mused, as though the thought was preposterous. Cadderly had done more than escape. With his friends, the young priest had obliterated the Night Mask contingent, more than twenty professional killers, and had also slain Bogo Rath, Aballister's second underling in the strict hierarchy of Castle Trinity.  \n2 R. A. Satvatore  \nAll the common folk of Carradoon were talking about the exploits of the young priest from the Edificant Library. They were beginning to whisper that Cadderly might be their hope in these dark times.  \nCadderly had become more than a minor problem for Aballister.  \nThe wizard took no fatherly pride in his son's exploits. Aballister had designs on the region, intentions to conquer it given to him by the avatar of the evil goddess Talona. Just the previous spring, those intentions appeared easy to fulfill, with Castle Trinity's force swelling to over eight thousand warriors, wizards and Talonan priests included. But then Cadderly had unexpectedly stopped Barjin, the mighty priest who had gone after the heart of the region's goodly strength, the Edificant Library. The following season, Cadderly had led the elves of Shilmista Forest in the west to a stunning victory over the goblinoid and giantkin forces, chasing a sizable number of Castle Trinity's minions back to their mountain holes.  \nEven the Night Masks, possibly the most dreaded assassin band in the central Realms, had not been able to stop Cadderly. Now winter was fast approaching, the first snows had already descended over the region, and Castle Trinity's invasion of Carradoon would have to wait  \nThe afternoon light had grown dim when Aballister turned south on the Boulevard of the Bridge, passing through the low wooden buildings of the lakeside town. He crossed through the open gates of the city's cemetery and cast a simple spell to locate the unremarkable grave of Bogo Rath. He waited for the night to fully engulf the land, drew a few runes of protection in the snow and mud around the grave, and pulled his cloak up tighter against the deathly cold.  \nWhen the lights of the city went down and the streets grew quiet, the wizard began his incantation, his summons to the netherworld. It went on for several minutes, with Aballister attuning his mind to the shadowy region between The Fallen Fortress 3  \nthe planes, attempting to meet the summoned spirit halfway. He ended the spell with a simple call: \"Bogo Rath. \"  \nThe wind seemed to focus around the withered wizard, collecting the nighttime mists in a swirling pattern, enshrouding the ground above the grave.  \nThe mists parted suddenly, and the apparition stood before Aballister. Though less than corporeal, it appeared quite like Aballister remembered the young Bogo—straight and stringy hair flipped to one side, eyes darting inquisitively, suspiciously, oneway and the other. There was one difference, though, something that made even hardy Aballister wince. A garish wound split the middle of Bogo's chest Even in the near darkness, Aballister could see past the apparition's ribs and lungs to its spectral backbone.  \n\"An axe,\" Bogo's mournful, drifting voice explained. He placed a less-than-tangible hand into the wound and flashed a gruesome smile. \"Would you like to feel?\"  ","cbCaipoyoPv69TY9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipoyoPv69TY9","pdf",391404,"English","# Prologue\n## Aballister’s arrival and fears\n## Summoning Bogo Rath’s apparition\n## Questions about the assassin band","[{\"question\":\"Why does Aballister summon Bogo Rath’s spirit?\",\"answer\":\"Aballister uses magical summons to the netherworld to interrogate the spirit with a limited number of truthful inquiries, seeking information about the assassin band and the situation in Carradoon.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Aballister learn about the assassin band?\",\"answer\":\"Bogo Rath reveals that Cadderly and friends killed the band, leaving only one assassin alive: Vander, who has turned traitor.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the information about Vander affect Aballister’s plans?\",\"answer\":\"The answers introduce complications because Vander has joined the enemies and the investigation also points toward the library, forcing Aballister to reassess the threat level and next steps.\"}]","THE FALLEN FORTRESS - Prologue | PDF",1789969333,108]
