We leave the house of Marta Mooley and the crone Ritza and trek through the Jungle.

We come upon a village of halflings that are being attacked by vampire pygmies. The vampire Pygmies have tattoos on their bodies with a symbol of fire. Strangely, the halflings have sharpened teeth, but no-one seems to mention this, so I go along with it all.

We help defend the village and fight off the attackers. We meet Izul, an old man who appears to have taken up a hermits life alongside the village. He tells us how he came to this place to investigate ruins. He believes that the village is an old ghoul site. He calls the ruins "Cerius Cerial" the place of the air elemental s and he shows us an ancient mosaic set into the ground that is formed into a shape that he tells us is an Air Symbol.

He explains to us how we can identify each of the elemental symbols.

We are then attacked by fire spitting worms who are summoned due the vibrations of the recent battle.

Gunki dies, but I am able to resurrect him with my magic quarterstaff. The Halfling could have saved him but choose not to! I will remember that if the Halfling ever needs help!

Izul tells us of an Evil ghoul ruin to the South. We travel towards the ruin and come across a very pale tree which looks almost Elvan to me. I am told that it is a Lamellia tree which has magical properties and is frequently used for magic items. I find a suitable branch with which to make a quarterstaff.

Life then becomes very strange. I find myself being roused from a slumber by Gunki. I am tied to a bench and around me are the rest of the party, who are all fast asleep. It is clear to me that all the events since leaving the house of Marta Mooley has been a dream. However, I cannot move because I am tied to the bed. No matter how hard I try to move, I cannot break free. I call out to the rest of the party, but their slumber is too deep It appears magically so. I cannot rouse them.

With the help of Gunki, who finds a knife within the house, I am able to break my bonds. I free the remainder of the party and start to wake them, when we are attacked by Marta Mooley who changes his shape into that of a man-tiger. We are able to slay the beast, and then we go in search of Ritza, but we cannot find her.

When we talk it is clear that we have all shared the same dream.

Now woken from our slumber, we travel the path that we journeyed in our dream. We visit the Pygmy village, but it is now just ancient ruins. We are however able to find Izul, however he is nothing but a ghost. He tells of Miska an Evil Queen. He says that Marta is a demon and that Marta served Miska. He tells us that Ritza is a very powerful summoner. He believes that the knowledge of defeating evil is hidden. There is a evil necromancer called Shreenanan. He suggested that we go to Tol-Durran and then onto San Cheo Dumi.

We rest for the night, but when I awake from a terrible dream, I discover a black spot on my hand. Tol-Durru and Gardat also have spots. Each of us are suffering bad dreams and are starting to get paranoid. I feel that my monk skills are starting to erode.

The party decide against my advice to kill George because he assisted Marta and Ritza in cooking and because he did not make any attempt to rescue us. He said he was terrified of Marta, but the party take no notice and kill him anyway. i am not sure that this is a party I want to remain with, but what choice do I have whilst we are so far from civilization.

We travel south and find the Lamellia tree, where I take wood. This time for real. We travel towards Tol-Durran and reach the outskirts of the village of Agundo.
