The first ogre climbed up and over a ledge and spotted it. It was a small flat partial plateau where the edges of the plateau fell off steeply. Those edges were lined by rocks and larger boulders that formed a sort of parapet or battlement around the plateau. The plateau itself was divided by a rock face that shot straight upward several hundred feet and took up about half of the plateau area. Seemingly built into the rock face itself was a solid stone keep. It was not too overly adorned in any stone carvings or other decorations and in fact looked to be deserted for some time. The huge rusted iron gate used to draw straight up into the gate itself but now seemed to be stuck in the up position half way drawn.

The site itself way up in the Khardran Mountains seemed to be the perfect natural defensive position. Though the keep was obviously man made, the surrounding plateau and parapet around the edges made it seem like a siege engineer had designed it instead of nature.

As each ogre climbed onto the plateau, they were obviously impressed. Some looked over the sides to see how far down it was and others began to investigate the keep itself. They had first noticed that there were two paths leading down from the plateau, one on the back side of the plateau behind the keep and the other to the right of the keep (when looking at it). Looking down the paths they curved different directions and disappeared around corners so it was not clear how long the paths were or where they ended.
