Liberation of Fort Freedom
Overview​
Signet's assault on the Naiad Confederacy's castle, Fort Freedom. The castle was a dilapidated ruin — the confederacy had lost control years earlier and the dungeon's algae infestation was doing the rest. The unexpected complication: a Level 65 Borough Boss had taken over the throne room and refused to leave.

The Boss Problem​
Claude Sludgington IV (Level 65 Borough Boss, Eryops Gigantis) had moved into the throne room and couldn't be removed. He had:
- Swallowed the elf guard Holger and Samantha
- Taken over Fort Freedom's entire throne room
Samantha's teleport ability accidentally brought him to the surface bank during the assault (she had been exploring inside and bit him to teleport home with him attached).
The Fight​
| Step | What Happened |
|---|---|
| 1 | Carl cast Protective Shell too close — launched Claude straight up into the air |
| 2 | Donut fired Fireball into his exposed pink stomach as he reached apex |
| 3 | Claude fell back down atop the dome, landed upside-down against the trees |
| 4 | Carl and Donut fired missiles into the open wound |
| 5 | Mongo dove head-first into the flaming belly wound |
| 6 | Mongo ate his way out through Claude's back |
| 7 | Claude died; his body exploded per dungeon rules |
Casualties​
- Miss Nadine — killed by Claude's twin lightning eye bolts. Glowed like a neon tube before exploding.
- Clint — killed by dinosaurs (apparently Big Tina-related) on the far shore
- Multiple bush elves and ursine
Achievement​
Carl received Premature Questjaculation — he defeated Claude before the dungeon could formally assign the quest to remove him from the castle.
