Been years since I was in the fort, but my mage needed words for a spell. So I grabbed my 53 paly and started slaughtering sarnaks. Good thing I didn't run into the room. Just close enough to aggro the escort.
Wasn't expecting anything to con more than light blue or green. I guess my mage isn't the only one that should have done some research.

My warrior at level 20 was here with my guild leader, a 52 bard, trying to find some of those bracers that see invis. This was his first time in the zone surprisingly, and we saw one of these and he exclaimed 'omg drk blue to me' So he decided he wanted to pull it out, there were many ads, and needless to say he was slaughtered shortly after i was.

I went in with my 51 pally, and I was solo'ing sarnaks along the way, having a blast looking for this Chancellor for part of the key quest, well I arrived at the room with the weaponsmith and escort.
Conned db to me, well I failed to see the weaponsmith there, don't ask me how. So I paci'd the ones I saw and pulled the escort, it was coming close, and I may have succeeded if it werent for the fact that I failed to see and paci the weapon guy. So YUP he comes a dartin at me lol. Well needlessly to say, I was pretty well owned at that point, I also noticed they have nasty spells they cast as well. I cant remember which of the two cast them. I escaped the zone with 22% life, used my loh and I had temp on at the time, so i was sittin at about 2800 hp. It seems it can be solo'd in the 50's as long as you have a good strategy, but there no way in hell I'd go with a level 20's group, not matter how good the group is. I do plan on returning tho, but this time I shall be a little more careful.

A 52 druid and my 52 wizard went into the fort after the chancilor for key quest. After killing him we checked out the weaponmaster room. All of these conned blue to us as did the weaponsmaster. We were still able to take them out, but I can see how a lower party coulg be wiped out.

Had a full group, 25-30. Me (27 ench), another Ench, Druid, Necro, Cleric, and the leader, a 30 Ogre Warrior. We fought our way into the fort to the Chancellor's Hall without problem. The only problem then: it was already taken with another group. We then went to a small hallway room in the fort with the intent to fight there until the other group left. The firt pull that the Warrior brings back: Imperial Escort.
The first thing that happened: Our Necro went LD 10 seconds into the fight. I wasn't concerned, mainly because I didn't know what level it was. Couldn't land any spells, so I just kept buffing the warrior. The warrior took a huge beating, but was kept alive with many heals. The warrior brought the Escort down to less than 1/4 of a bubble, when all of a sudden, he missed a heal (or the cleric ran out of mana.. never found out) and was killed. The rest of us just stood there for a second thinking...... oh oh. It started tearing our group apart and everyone took off.. except me. I just stood there (mainly because I didn't know the way out) It followed the others. Just then, the necro logs back on and says 'what happened?' as he looks at the bodies. Just as I say it killed everyone, the escort rounds the corner and hits me a few times. As I try to run, it stops and turns on the necro, killing him (guess he attacked it). I gated just in time. Almost got it.... One more heal for the warrior.

I was at level 24 when I saw two of these lovely creatures pulled to my group. I had never heard of them before, so I assumed they were high 20's like all the other reds I had encountered so far with the group. Being the eager enchanter that I am I went to tash then enthral. Never got the second spell off. It took less time for the group to die than it did for me to re-spawn. If I didn't have rune up he would have killed me in the first attack. At least I can say I survived about 10 seconds :D
They are on my "will kill later" list, along with Sergeant Slate, Grimfeather, and all those freaking undead in Kith.

I ran into one of these a little while back was around 23 or 24 at the time, was pulling from the courtyard and i guess someone had trained one out there, anyway the thing aggroed me when i was about to pull a recruit i wasnt sure what lvl this thing was at the time so i ran back to the camp and this thing proceeded to shred our group we stuck it out for a little while then healer went oom and we all ran for zone to our credit we actually hurt it a little got it down like 1/2 inch we all had sow on so we made it to zone no deaths that i can remember but i always make sure that these arent around when i'm pullin stuff from the fort now

I and a 37 Sk and a 39 Ranger took one of these guys out. I was really appreciating those ranger heals about half way through the fight, he was hitting for close to 100 on a good pace. He was a lot easier than the Weaponsmith.

I saw one of these in the back of the fort in a large room at loc -2100, +4700.

Was there last night in a full group sat deep inside in the bay area before the chancellor room.
Another group was clearing out the tunnels, a rest spite for mana.
nose in book, awoken by quad hits for 97!
Loading Please Wait
wiped out all but 1 member
fellow group members who have hunted there with thier main's mention that they have never seen one so my conclusion would suffice that the entire fort was being purged to force the spawn

If you have not found them, you probably don't want to. They sit in the room with the weaponsmith (lvl 45) and there is a group of 4 at least. If you are lucky you will only get 2 when you pull them. To find them i can only describe 1 way accurately:
Start at chancellors and follow main hall out and take a left at either the end of the hall or the 1 prior (can't remember atm). The correct hall will have 2 or 3 small rooms on the left, and an intersecting corridor at the end of the hall. When you get to the intersection turn left, after that there is only one way to go, and that is to the room with the weaponsmith.

He and the weaponsmith are still blue to me at 54 with my warrior. They have alot of hp also. myself and druid did the weaponsmith. A 52 monk along with the druid polished off the Escorts. As you can see they are a tough group.

The other day, our group of 19 to 24 was camping the back door of the fort when I saw someone running out with three in tow /shouting, "Train to FM zone!". I conned them as usual, came back red so I went back to the group where we sat. I told everyone to watch for themcause I knew they'd be back. The next few minutes all we heard was /ooc What is an Imperial Escort? with replies like, they'll wipe their ***es with you stay clear. We waited. I was medding since we had just gone through a heavy battle, when all of a sudden I see myself stand, then LOADING PLEASE WAIT... Within 5 seconds the entire party was wiped out. I scrolled up to see quad hits for 97, 68, 52, and 90 damage in succession really fast. Dead before I could blink. If you come across one, VACATE THE AREA!

Quad hit our 52 Mage for 97, 3 of the escorts made mincemeat out of our clerc and the mage tonight. We were lookin for the Chancellor's room, as we had never seen it, just a scouting mission.. at approx. LOC Neg 2100, Pos 4600 is the room where we got diced up.. These things are harder than the chancellor IMHO. U see them, be very careful. As stated, they can quad for 97, and theres usually more than one hangin around with the Weaponsmith.... Be safe, and don't die!

My group of lower 20somethings was hunting the "niche" inside the fortress when the puller announced that he was bringing this guy back. Naturally, I tensed up as I'd never heard of such a creature before. As it turns out, neither had the puller, or he wouldn't have brought the sucker back to us ;). Lucklily, I was still sowed from an earlier camp and was able to escape the fort; my group was not so lucky. Being a rogue, my job over the next half hour was to drag the whole party out of the fort. Live and learn seemed to be the concensus.
