Upon entering you get a dialog message saying you may enter. You will find the hydras soon enough. Fight them, collect THREE RED HYDRA HEADS and leave. Go to redrick, and he'll give you the horn of warriors: an extremely handy artifact to have with you, but be sure to use it in this scenario, as it won't work in other scenarios.

You'll only be able to get this quest if you have done the Summertown quest!

Go to mayor Arbuckle, make appointment if you have to. Say that you saw Summertown and that you are shocked. At the next dialog option, say that you find it strange that Fort Filbert is so close but does nothing. Upon saying that, he'll ask you if you want to do a quest. Say yes. FROM NOW ON YOU WON'T HAVE TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS! Go to Fort Filbert, and walk to the room of Commander Johnson. Johnson will sit in the dining hall, eating. In that time, you have to go as quick as you can to his room and search the most western closet. if you don't, Johnson will return to his room befor you are ready, and he will see you. the consequences of that aren't to hefty, but you won't be able to enter Fort filbert until the arrest of Johnson. When you found the note, go back to Fort Filbert and show it to Arbuckle. In two days Johnson is arrested.
