Felor glances sideways at Zanuga. "I speak to Fjorgyn in my own way, and She speaks to me in Hers." He pauses for a moment to survey the crevasse. "And She tells me there is likely a secret passage at the base of the slope on which the fortress sits."

Leth looks at the shard in Felor's hand for a moment, then back out at the valley ahead of them, and finally back to Felor, and shrugs.
"Better than hiking up and knocking on the front door, I guess. But that still begs the question, how are we going to get to this secret passage without being spotted?"

"We are well rested, so maybe wait until dark and make our way down by moonlight? I can see at night as well as in the day, and I could lead the way."

Zangua nods. "Movement in the dark would be better," he says, "though I'd prefer a bit of moonlight so we're not traveling blind."

What good is a Werld without a Moon? Nethuns can't control the tides all by himself. It's cloudy and cold out, with a waxing gibbous moon providing some light.

The descent will be slow and somewhat risky, but not a great feat of mountaineering.

"Right, let's get to work," says Zangua, ready to move out when needed. He prepares his rope for the descent.

Mordred will lead the way. I'll give you some rolls to apply as you see fit, Octo.
ETA: Bootched the Stealth, sorry gang.

Domarc watches Mordred start the descent, rubbing his fingers together nervously.
"Just get me halfway," he mutters to himself.

Mordred leads the way down. Halfway through he steps on a loose rock and sends a cascade of stones tumbling noisily down the slope. If anyone takes notice, they give no sign. The rest of the party is able to follow safely behind.
In the narrow valleys below, the party follows Felor's divine guidance, eventually reaching a scree-filled semicircular outcrop of weathered gray stone at the foot of the neighboring mountain.

Felor squints at the outcrop in the twilight and nods. "Yes. Yes, this is where She was directing me." He moves closer to search for a hidden entrance.
Edit to add Advantage from Zangua.

Trusting in Fjorgyn, Zangua helps Felor look for the entrance.

Leth keeps an eye in the direction of the fortress, wary of patrols or signs that they had been noticed.

Leth sees no signs of watchers. You can't see the fortress from here, you're on the other side of the mountain it's perched on.
Pacing around the area with Zangua, Felor notices a small, oddly-shaped hole in the large rock formation encircling them. A few feet to the left, another such hole.
A moment of investigation reveals six keyhole-shaped openings in the outcropping, spaced roughly equidistant. They're larger than most keyholes, but not big enough for a human to fit a finger inside.
