The hour of nine had past and the hand now joined with ten. Your group found itself in the Greenest Fort, a small fort by fort standards but large enough to host a majority of the townsfolk. Eventually you found your way through the crowd that you had entered with, which was the last crowd that was able to enter before the gates had been shut. You were likely confused, confused at where you were and confused at why a dragon cult was attacking this small town of Greenest. You kept asking yourself where Greenest was, but no one knew what Justicor was nor did they know the Kingdom of Strom. The village folk must of been illiterate.
If you took the time to head up the stairs near the walls to look over, you would see that the city had many patrols cross the streets. Screams, cries and mad laughter echoed from the town as the cult pillaged the town for any treasures they could find. Many fires dotted the town, but there wasn't many buildings actually burning. More like hay piles and wagons and whatever else was laying around.
Eventually a messenger found you and asked that you report to the Castellan, Escobert the Red. You could oblige the messenger or seek out other trouble. There was also the Governor Nighthill that you could seek out.

After the messenger moved on, Mercator's head swiveled about. The corners of his mouth descended into a frown, and he adjusted his goggles. He muttered to himself "where in the devil are we? How could this possibly be Greenest?" Then, turning to Arthas, he said aloud, "We need time to process what has happened to us - where we truly are now. Greenest is a location on a map in my possession. Yet that map was lifted out of a storybook filled with children's tales and fairy stories." He paused for a thoughtful moment. "Curses! But perhaps we should speak to this Escobert the Red first. Maybe he can give us some answers." Mercator's voice trailed off, and he said to himself, "I must speak to a master cartographer or navigator."

Olek looked up from his journal, sitting and leaning against a well, and snapped it shut, standing deftly without using his arms. With a brisk walk he walked up behind Archimedes and stood next to him, staring at a wall.
"Skeletons in a crypt led by a wight that ate souls not a week ago, an unnatural harbringer of a storm that plucked us from the sea yesterday, dragons today... Who is to say we are not now in this fairy tale of yours? My mother told me great sages write those stories after waking up from dreams of places that could not be, sorcerers that peer between the worlds and see what has never been seen. What's to say any of it is made up? As I once overheard a minstrel say to a pretty girl, almost anything is possible with magic given imagination." He patted Archimedes on the shoulder and looked at him with a grin. "A fairy tale, huh? Nicer than what I thought. I think I will continue thinking of this as a fairy tale, it is much more reassuring-- those have heroes that slay the dragons and rescue the land. Much more optimistic!"
After a pause, he continued. "Castellan Escobert the Red, eh? Why not go see the man, with a name like that? Maybe his skin is actually red. Who knows? Anyone else want to find out?" He grinned in his usual way-- despite the nonchalant confidence, it was clear he was just as utterly clueless as everyone else and perhaps even thought this was a dream.
