This fort was probably taken over by Sliths from humans. It has received quite a battering and many holes in the walls have been plugged with magic barriers. Since the gates are closed and guarded, you will have to get through a barrier.
I enter from the west and go round to the north where there is a barrier in front of a closed door. Here you need a piercing crystal or Dispel Barriers L1. Before going through the door to the north gate you can prepare for a tough battle.
The northern gate is guarded by two Slith Flingers, who are soon backed up by other defenders, which come out of the adjacent buildings where most of the doors are open. The chief of the fort Gunkass soon joins in. As he is rather tough it is probably better to concentrate on removing his henchmen, particularly any spell casters, before focusing upon him, otherwise you might get overwhelmed by the opposition. When he finally dies he drops a Fine Slith Spear and an Assasin's shield.
In the SE corner is a livestock pen with 4 Mutant Lizards and a Basikisk! I did not know that you could eat Basilisks, or is it being kept as a pet? These animals are in any case rather difficult to kill and to make matters worse, there is an assortment of sliths including a Slith Scourger in the mess in the SW corner, who join in the battle if you do not send someone in to deal with them.
If you climb the ladder into the attic you will find your way blocked by a trap (TU 8) to the north and a magical barrier (needs at least Dispel Barriers L2) to the west. When you get round the corner you find two Frenzied Drakes guarding a blue chest in which you can find the plans that Vicky wanted you to get.
After picking up the loot that is lying around or stashed away in chests you can go off to Gnass and Fort Emerald to collect your rewards.
