faderift | [Player Plot] Fall of the Colossus

WHO: Cole, Outsider, Tim Gutterson, Inessa, Sam Gareth, Ciri, Kain
WHAT: Taking down Adamant Fortress
WHEN: Late Harvestmere
WHERE: The Western Approach
NOTES: Battle violence

Dwarven architecture is made to last. The fact that Adamant Fortress is still standing at all is a testament to this, having been constructed at the edge of the Abyssal Rift before even the Second Blight — but its age does show. Centuries of neglect, along with the destruction wrought within it in the modern Age, have left it nearly a ruin. The walls are worn, collapsed in places. The corridors crawl with demons, and the occasional darkspawn who finds his way up through the Rift.

Left to its own devices, the fortress would surely collapse, reduced to rubble by wind and sand. But until that was done, it would remain a bruise on the land, even somewhere as desolate as the Approach.

So. Instead, it falls today.

He isn't quite standing apart from the group, but neither is he really with them. There is just enough distance to make it seem as if he just walked up, as if he wasn't with them throughout the whole journey. That feeling will be there, even if they remember him.

Which they all will, to some degree. If they didn't know him already.

Cole looks straight ahead with his arms crossed, watching, while the desert wind ruffles at the wide brim of his hat.
