	Utilizing fey keys to breach the [[Shadow Forge]], the assembled heroes encountered formidable resistance from Cheshire's forces, including numerous Cheshire Orcs and Goblins.

The assault unfolded across multiple fronts, with intense battles testing the resolve and coordination of the allied forces.		Utilizing fey keys to breach the [[Shadow Forge]], the assembled heroes encountered formidable resistance from Cheshire's forces, including numerous Cheshire Orcs and Goblins. The Forge itself posed a significant threat, manifesting massive Shadow Guardians designed to eliminate intruders perceived as "diseases" within its system. The assault unfolded across multiple fronts, with intense battles testing the resolve and coordination of the allied forces.

	The operation reached its zenith in a dramatic confrontation with Horatio Cheshire, who was mounted atop his Dragonhydra—the same formidable creature previously encountered during the assault on Seglock University. The ensuing battle was fierce and exacted a heavy toll, resulting in the deaths of several valiant characters. Ultimately, the heroes succeeded in slaying Cheshire and his Dragonhydra, effectively crippling his operations and bringing an end to the immediate threat posed by the Shadow Forge.

	The victory at the Shadow Forge Shutdown was significant, leading to the cessation of Cheshire's abominable creations and providing a measure of relief to the beleaguered regions affected by his machinations. However, the conflict underscored the persistent dangers emanating from the Shadowfell and the ongoing need for vigilance against similar threats.

	So a plan was forged (non shadow type) where we would all go into two staging areas in the outer forge, and a team of seven would head into the remaining forge to discuss eviction procedures. This would have two teams to hold the outset sides of the portals, allowing us to fall back if things went wonky and bring in help if needed. Apparently the Iron Hawks would fly in first with a few non-hawks who were adamant on joining.

	In we went, the two teams took up defensive positions around the portals with Linden Rue riding [[Vadath]] who was riding Tempest the fanged.green goober leading the assault into the final Shadowforge. Delphi, [[Cynthia]], [[Boros]], Ishak, and Myself fleshed out the initial assault team. Fey sending stones were distributed for clear communications from one side of the portals to the other. Once more into the Shadow Breach!

	Facing us was a fully engaged Shadowforge. The Raw sickley meh of the shadow energy swirled about out whole of the forge. The Tackey purple lighting was pulsing throughout the whole of the forge and the draw it had on the material and shadow realms was almost whirlpool like. There were some glaive and chain constructs standing at attention in a V in front of a Multi Headed Mini Tiamat monstrosity. Behind was the man, the myth, the moron - Horatio.

	<blockquote><small>'''After months of effort by Vadath and many other adventurers Horatio Chesire had finally been located and cornered. A powerful Fey only known as the Currator summoned many adventures to finally bring Horatios evil to an end. Seven members of The Band of Iron Hawk were present for this raid. Horatio had holed himself up in a micro dimension known as The Shadow Forges. This realm was stuck between our material [[plane]] and the plane of shadow. These forges were how Horatio constructed his monstrosities. The Currator told us that four forges were active and that we needed to try and shit down three of them before we could confront Horatio. Hearing this three strike teams were formed. Two teams of six and one of five. Vadath along with Zen, Tristram, Linden, and Delphi took the role of the group of five. Arlin and Percy were each sent with a different group of six making sure each group had at least one guild member in it. The Currator use powerful and strange Fey magics to bolster all the adventurers. Vadaths greatsword became magical and was easier to swing, he felt heartier then ever before, and he felt like a colossus while mounted on Tempest. Vadath and his four companies were sent into their forge and upon entering found a group of Chesire Goblins and a Chesire Orc. They seemed to be arguing and getting ready to leave. Vadath immediately took the charge and rushed in on Tempest and began cutting down the enemies. He chased them down a hallway into a more open room to find even more Chesire Orcs working some strange machinery. To his right were three portals spewing out different things the furthest from him was exoelling boddies into the room. Tristram attempted to hypnotize the orcs but only managed to snare one in his spell. Vadath and the group began fighting not only the orcs but the forge itself. It seemed to him like the forge was defending itself. Before long a strange flesh monstrosity materialized from the center of a magical ring on the far end of the forge. Vadath disengaged the orcs and along with Zen began to fight the hideous beast. As they fought on the beast swallowed Zen whole and the forge began to animate the corpses that were piling up from the portal. Tristram used magic to free Zen from the beast and before it could fall the yet another mound of animated flesh was summoned from the forge. Vadath, Tempest and Zen dealt with the first and engaged the second as they did this the other party members were attack the forge machinery. Two orcs remained as one attempted to wake his friend from Tristrams spell sadly he was successful. The Orc woke up and smashed down a giant red button and from the same part of the forge that summoned the flesh beast came forth a Sentinel like no other. Vadath knew the group was in trouble and left the second flesh beast to Zen. The Sentinel teleported into the middle of the group and began its assault. Vadath and Tempest charged in hoping to draw its attention and were successful. While fighting this metal behemoth Vadath heard Zen getting swallowed again and Tristram yet again came to Zens aid. The Sentinel summoned for lightning blast that arced in between the party striking multiple members at once. As the battles raged Tempest was magically banished from the forge. The group had used most of its resources and still fought on even though the odds were agaisnt them. It was then Tristram deployed a curious strategy he had used before. Tristram summoned what he called his pop corn hut. This was truly a sanctuary. The group ran into this opaque hut for safety. The flesh monster and the Sentinel were not able to penitrate its magic. Linden summoned a swarm of magical bunnies on the machinery and Delphi used her magic to create a cloud of Daggers. This magic destroyed the the forge machinery. The two spell casters then used their abilities to move the magics to hit the remain flesh monster and the Sentinel. The hut held fast as the enemies fell and forge buried the party in over three tons of rubble. The Iron Hawks had stopped the forge and its creations but were now trapped under rubble. The group had no way to escape till they called out to the Currator for aid. With his mysterious power the Currator was able to teleport the adventurers to safety. It wasn't long after that that Arlins group returned from their forge also badly wounded and barely alive. Vadath waited eagerly for his 1st Lieutenant Percy to return with his group. Vadath and Delphi knew the group was in trouble and asked the Currator to send them to the last forge to help. Upon entering into the last forge Vadath and Delphi were greeted with carnage similar to what they had experienced. The party was struggling to survive fighting the forge and a Sentinel of their own. Vadath immediately and without hesitation charged the Sentinel. He attacked it wildly scoring several solid strikes on the colossus. Delphi healed those she could as the rest of the partied rallied what they could and attacked the Sentinel and the forge. Eventually they were successful in shutting down the forge and destroying the Sentinel. The group was teleported back to the Currator where all the adventurers prepped for the coming battle agaisnt Horatio Chesire himself inside the final forge of which he was its master.'''</small></blockquote>		<blockquote><small>'''After months of effort by Vadath and many other adventurers Horatio Chesire had finally been located and cornered.

I was split into a team tasked with infiltrating the forge and destroying the machines used to create the monsters. As we snuck in through one of the [[The Curator\|Curator's]] [[The Feywild\|Fey]] portals, we heard the humming sound of several capsules lined along the walls continuously spitting out more of [[Horatio Cheshire\|Cheshire's]] monsters. Fighting off an endless supply of monsters would have been a fruitless effort unless we could also cut off the machines' power supply. Across the room, we heard the blare of another enormous machine powering up. In a flash, the machine produced a gargantuan assemblage of reanimated flesh and metal. The grotesque abomination sprung to life, creeping forward with thunderous steps towards us. My psionic attacks proved very ineffective against a monster which had no means of thought, so I flew swiftly past it and focused my attacks on points of the machine that appeared to be feeding it power. Targeting the machine seemed to work as parts of the forge began to crumble around us. Much of the team fought through the horde of monsters towards the other end of the room, joining me in attacking the weak points of the main machine before it could produce another abomination. As we appeared to finally cut off the last thread of power to the machine, the ceiling of the forge started to cave in and we were all forced to retreat back through the [[The Curator\|Curator's]] portal. Having successfully taken down the machines in the [[Shadow Forge]], the [[The Curator\|Curator]] sent us to defend a portal leading to [[Horatio Cheshire]] as it was under attack by invisible [[The Shadowfell\|Shadowfell]] monsters. Being capable of seeing invisibility, I hovered over the battlefield and relayed to my teammates where to target their blows. This method proved effective, as we were able to protect the portal long enough for the adventurers on the other side to weaken the mad alchemist and his [[Cheshire's Hydra\|Dracohydra]] that he had been passing off as [[Tiamat]]. We made our way through the portal ourselves and joined the rest of the adventurers to help land the killing blows on [[Horatio Cheshire\|Cheshire]], finally putting an end to his abominations.

This method proved effective, as we were able to protect the portal long enough for the adventurers on the other side to weaken the mad alchemist and his [[Cheshire's Hydra\|Dracohydra]] that he had been passing off as [[Tiamat]]. We made our way through the portal ourselves and joined the rest of the adventurers to help land the killing blows on [[Horatio Cheshire\|Cheshire]], finally putting an end to his abominations. The [[The Curator\|Curator]] thanked us, offering us each a favor of information from his vast library of [[The Feywild\|Fey]] knowledge as gratitude for our service.</blockquote>

	Utilizing fey keys to breach the Shadow Forge, the assembled heroes encountered formidable resistance from Cheshire's forces, including numerous Cheshire Orcs and Goblins. The Forge itself posed a significant threat, manifesting massive Shadow Guardians designed to eliminate intruders perceived as "diseases" within its system. The assault unfolded across multiple fronts, with intense battles testing the resolve and coordination of the allied forces.

The assault unfolded across multiple fronts, with intense battles testing the resolve and coordination of the allied forces.

	The operation reached its zenith in a dramatic confrontation with Horatio Cheshire, who was mounted atop his Dragonhydra—the same formidable creature previously encountered during the assault on Seglock University. The ensuing battle was fierce and exacted a heavy toll, resulting in the deaths of several valiant characters. Ultimately, the heroes succeeded in slaying Cheshire and his Dragonhydra, effectively crippling his operations and bringing an end to the immediate threat posed by the Shadow Forge.

	<blockquote><small>'''After months of effort by Vadath and many other adventurers Horatio Chesire had finally been located and cornered. A powerful Fey only known as the Currator summoned many adventures to finally bring Horatios evil to an end. Seven members of The Band of Iron Hawk were present for this raid. Horatio had holed himself up in a micro dimension known as The Shadow Forges. This realm was stuck between our material [[plane]] and the plane of shadow. These forges were how Horatio constructed his monstrosities. The Currator told us that four forges were active and that we needed to try and shit down three of them before we could confront Horatio. Hearing this three strike teams were formed. Two teams of six and one of five. Vadath along with Zen, Tristram, Linden, and Delphi took the role of the group of five. Arlin and Percy were each sent with a different group of six making sure each group had at least one guild member in it. The Currator use powerful and strange Fey magics to bolster all the adventurers. Vadaths greatsword became magical and was easier to swing, he felt heartier then ever before, and he felt like a colossus while mounted on Tempest. Vadath and his four companies were sent into their forge and upon entering found a group of Chesire Goblins and a Chesire Orc. They seemed to be arguing and getting ready to leave. Vadath immediately took the charge and rushed in on Tempest and began cutting down the enemies. He chased them down a hallway into a more open room to find even more Chesire Orcs working some strange machinery. To his right were three portals spewing out different things the furthest from him was exoelling boddies into the room. Tristram attempted to hypnotize the orcs but only managed to snare one in his spell. Vadath and the group began fighting not only the orcs but the forge itself. It seemed to him like the forge was defending itself. Before long a strange flesh monstrosity materialized from the center of a magical ring on the far end of the forge. Vadath disengaged the orcs and along with Zen began to fight the hideous beast. As they fought on the beast swallowed Zen whole and the forge began to animate the corpses that were piling up from the portal. Tristram used magic to free Zen from the beast and before it could fall the yet another mound of animated flesh was summoned from the forge. Vadath, Tempest and Zen dealt with the first and engaged the second as they did this the other party members were attack the forge machinery. Two orcs remained as one attempted to wake his friend from Tristrams spell sadly he was successful. The Orc woke up and smashed down a giant red button and from the same part of the forge that summoned the flesh beast came forth a Sentinel like no other. Vadath knew the group was in trouble and left the second flesh beast to Zen. The Sentinel teleported into the middle of the group and began its assault. Vadath and Tempest charged in hoping to draw its attention and were successful. While fighting this metal behemoth Vadath heard Zen getting swallowed again and Tristram yet again came to Zens aid. The Sentinel summoned for lightning blast that arced in between the party striking multiple members at once. As the battles raged Tempest was magically banished from the forge. The group had used most of its resources and still fought on even though the odds were agaisnt them. It was then Tristram deployed a curious strategy he had used before. Tristram summoned what he called his pop corn hut. This was truly a sanctuary. The group ran into this opaque hut for safety. The flesh monster and the Sentinel were not able to penitrate its magic. Linden summoned a swarm of magical bunnies on the machinery and Delphi used her magic to create a cloud of Daggers. This magic destroyed the the forge machinery. The two spell casters then used their abilities to move the magics to hit the remain flesh monster and the Sentinel. The hut held fast as the enemies fell and forge buried the party in over three tons of rubble. The Iron Hawks had stopped the forge and its creations but were now trapped under rubble. The group had no way to escape till they called out to the Currator for aid. With his mysterious power the Currator was able to teleport the adventurers to safety. It wasn't long after that that Arlins group returned from their forge also badly wounded and barely alive. Vadath waited eagerly for his 1st Lieutenant Percy to return with his group. Vadath and Delphi knew the group was in trouble and asked the Currator to send them to the last forge to help. Upon entering into the last forge Vadath and Delphi were greeted with carnage similar to what they had experienced. The party was struggling to survive fighting the forge and a Sentinel of their own. Vadath immediately and without hesitation charged the Sentinel. He attacked it wildly scoring several solid strikes on the colossus. Delphi healed those she could as the rest of the partied rallied what they could and attacked the Sentinel and the forge. Eventually they were successful in shutting down the forge and destroying the Sentinel. The group was teleported back to the Currator where all the adventurers prepped for the coming battle agaisnt Horatio Chesire himself inside the final forge of which he was its master.'''</small></blockquote>		<blockquote><small>'''After months of effort by Vadath and many other adventurers Horatio Chesire had finally been located and cornered.

 The victory at the Shadow Forge Shutdown was significant, leading to the cessation of Cheshire's abominable creations and providing a measure of relief to the beleaguered regions affected by his machinations. However, the conflict underscored the persistent dangers emanating from the Shadowfell and the ongoing need for vigilance against similar threats.
