| - | Regrouping toward the centre of the Temple while the Elfchild manages to chant away some of the flood waters, you assess the situation. On opening the bundle, you don’t find what you expect, which is Knower Gofrey’s head. Instead, there are objects with writing on them.

We have almost completed mining the final batch of Blue Stone required and will return soon. I am pleased that our plans do progress and our cause in Daran will be achieved. Thanks to the pestilence that was brought to Heathers Edge, running the mines has become simple. I have learned much from The Wanderer. --Your daughter Unn”. | + | A clay tablet with etching on it (in Ralian Theyalan) |

| Ahh. So there is that final daughter of Rollo’s Clan yet to be accounted for, and again this mention of the Blue Stone and a mine/s, and The Wanderer, and now some other place called “Heathers Edge”, with the unpleasant mention of a “pestilence”--- shiiiiittt…. | Ahh.

| First = incomplete; a ritual for calling a “marsh-demon”. Not much useful here. It might have something to do with these Marsh-Wights’ origin? | First = incomplete; a ritual for calling a “marsh-demon”. Not much useful here. It might have something to do with these Marsh-Wights’ origin? | ||
| - | Second = more pages; describing a ritual using a blue powder and a specially consecrated altar (via blood sacrifice) called the Serpent’s Head, which can open some sort of planar doorway. While Wilmot can understand what this is about in general, he doubts he could ever perform the ritual. But Knower Gofrey could have, and you soon find him tied up and gagged, barely alive, outside of the Temple. | + | **Second** = more pages; describing a ritual using a blue powder and a specially consecrated altar (via blood sacrifice) called the Serpent’s Head, which can open some sort of planar doorway.

| - | Final = a full description of the sorcery spell Drown; which could be learned in 4 weeks. It can be cast on a stone with a ritual carving and will thus would cast the spell on the first person to touch it; just like the stone that Lady Tondhere had and Bog now has. While it’s much like magic Ahappi used to use, many people would consider it to be “evil” (but it is not Chaotic; just cruel Death+Water magic). Fraud takes this. | + | **Final** = a full description of the sorcery spell Drown; which could be learned in 4 weeks.

| You are looting bodies; finding nothing of value; when the sounds of the monstrosity’s return come. So you wisely exit the Temple, opting to go along the path which goes eastwards back to Othona, rather than see if your boat is still there back at the river, close to where that monster came from. Looking back, you see the silhouette of the great thing of the Monster Army by the Temple, and it begins smashing the Beacon of Malkion Temple to ruins; sounds of which you hear behind you as you make haste away, freeing Gofrey and accompanied by Wilmot and the Elfchild. | You are looting bodies; finding nothing of value; when the sounds of the monstrosity’s return come.
