[[ INT, not WIS, but yeah. ]]

Wolf 7 INT Save: 13

*wait why is it Int am I just hallucinating or isn’t it usually Wisdom for illusion spells-like an insight check or whatever*

*maybe that’s just enchantment spells*

Wolf 7 barks in terror at the sight of a white dragon appearing and banks it out of the area as quickly as it can. dash

Wolf 1, having been injured by the dwarf's magic missile also heads out to lick its wounds. dash

Kyren may make an opportunity attack against one Wolf 1 or Wolf 7 if he wishes.

Lysander may make an opportunity attack against Wolf 7 if he wishes.

With the rest of the pack in retreat, Wolf 3 is looking very nervous.

Harmir <-------------- currently up
Wolves 3
Kpp'ar/Jormandu, Ariana, Lysander, Kyren

Illusion is usually INT. Minor Illusion, Silent Image, Major Image, etc. All INT checks to decipher the illusion.

And thinks like charm person or dominate person or hold monster are your WIS saves.

But to be fair phantasmal killer is a WIS save you it's possible you transposed those in your mind.

 D&D is so silly

If any wolves are within 25 feet of Harmir, he'll go over and bash them with his warhammer w/ both hands.

18 to hit, 6 damage.

If not, he'll cast fire bolt on the nearest wolf.

11 to hit, 5 damage.

Is Imgur not able to show up on your end, Kasrick? Just wondering for future reference. And if Imgur doesn't show up for you, what about Discord?
And a quick reminder, the damage bonus would be +3 on the warhammer, not +5
]]

Harmir charges towards the last remaining wolf and drops to within an inch of its life in one fell swoop, filled with bookwormy rage. It follows the others and dashes away from the party. Now in the clearing, quiet except for the fearful yips of the retreating wolves in the distance, the party stands alone in their victory over the pack.

[[ If you guys wish, you may take a short rest before continuing on. ]]

With the Lightning Keep is sight it provide a clear guide on where to go and the group is able to arrive there without any further incidents.

Lightning Keep is a well-preserved structure with battlements lining its granite walls. A straight path leads to a stone gatehouse, which contains a closed set of heavy wooden doors behind an iron portcullis. You see no signs of habitation and no other entrances.

[[ I use quotes for the box text from adventures. ]]

[[ the black dots are the portcullis, the yellow/gold boxes are the wooden doors. Grey is, as you might expect, the walls. ]]

 “This place screams ‘TRAP!’” Lysander groans.

*All dwarves get proficiency with warhammers, making it +5*

*And also, Imgur is not showing up on my end.*

Harmir turns to him, one eyebrow raised. "You sure about that, Lys?"

*EDIT: nvm both ooc things, images just started working all of a sudden, and I misread the thing about the modifier.*

 “Yeah…”

"From what I was taught in school, a portcullis is a very standard defensive structure for keeps and fortresses. It doesn't seem like a trap to me."

 “Maybe. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

The 'newcomer', who had mysteriously arrived during the battle with the wolves, speaks up. "S'what if it's a trap? I'm goin' on ahead, are y'all comin' with me or not?" His voice is rough and deep, and his accent is completely different from Kpp'ar's.

 "Okay."

Harmir goes up to the portcullis, looking in to see if anyone's on the other side.

Harmir is not able to discern the presence of anyone around the portcullis. As best as he can tell the fortress hasn't had any recent visitors, which is in keeping with the tales of the keep. The portcullis, though not used in a while, seems to be in good working condition. 

[[ If you guys are stuck, unsure what to do, you could give me some Investigation or Perception roles and I'll give you some hints based on those results. ]]

Jörmandu walks up to the portcullis and tries to discern a way to open it.

Perception: 20

Investigation (just in case): 5

Jörmandu is able to tell the portcullis, being in good working condition, is still capable of going up and down. While very heavy it does seem possible that an athletically inclined person could get it open with a show of strength. Odds are the initial lifting would be tougher than the subsequent opening, though it would require additional stamina to continue holding open.

"Hey! I'm gonna try an' lift this portcullis to open it up. Anybody wanna help?" He then steps up to the portcullis and squats down, apparently attempting to lift it with his legs.

Athletics: 18

 “Not particularly.” Lysander says boredly.
