	Go to see '''Sir Prudence''' at the '''Inn of the White Dragon'''. He turned out to be a gentleman with very white hair and elven features that were weather beaten. He's also the Baron of AnteCarzala, sandwiched between Carzala on the south and Ranke on the north. We were told that Iapetus the Greater Titan, on the Plane of Purple, believed to have been totally slain by the N'cer is in fact the new body that the N'cer has been wearing for over 200,000 years. We decided to continue referring to him as the â€˜Liquorice Allsort'.

	Also with him was Lady <s>Electro </s> '''Alecto''', the Minister of Justice and Retribution. I got the impression she was part fae. The Liquorice AllSort had lost a lot of minions but he had managed to get forces from offplane ~~â€“~~ a plane from which nobody corporeal could come from.

Lady Electro was also wearing a turban and I was starting to wonder if there were snakes underneath it.

	We were going to go the same way, in some sort of astral travel and would end up in bodies on the other side. None of our equipment would go with us and there was a possibility that some of our abilities would also not transfer but we may pick up new ones on the other side. Also time over there ran faster than it did here.		We were going to go the same way, in some sort of astral travel and would end up in bodies on the other side. None of our equipment would go with us and there was a possibility that some of our abilities would also not transfer but we may pick up new ones on the other side. Also time over there ran faster than it did here.

	So, the next day, we prepared to leave, lying down on some rather comfy cushions. We ended up in a small wood near a large town. I'm still an elf but looking older with grey hair and with a staff. I learnt that I was a â€˜grey elf', a lower caste of elf and all the males had been wiped out. Grey elves. This entire island we were on, was run by '''merchant princes''' with '''orcs''' and '''goblins''' making up most of the population. '''High Elves''' and '''dwarves''' had a high social status with the orcs and goblins in the middle and us '''''grey elves''''' right down at the bottom. Which is why most of them live in the wild woods and are considered to be wild creatures at best and evil baby-eating witches at the worst. Speaking of witches, someone got rid of the '''Witch King''' ~~â€“~~ at least that's what the bunch of dwarf merchants that we ran into said.

	We were all linked by a mind speech so we could communicate and learnt about the situation, the currency, commerce, how society works etc etc etc. It was decided to go into the city in order to equip ~~â€“~~ yes, we had arrived with money, some sort of paper script with strange runes on it. The sky was overcast, couldn't see the sun but we were told that the day was twenty hours long. Oh, and apparently we elves have four fingers and two thumbs on each hand.

	Doc also mentioned that there were a lot of things in the valley of the Giants that no-one understands. Also things keep appearing and disappearing.

	Upon arrival at those caves, what looked like to be bit of ordinary rock turned out to be curved columns. Many of the caves had their floors levelled and one of them had excellent acoustics ~~â€“~~ like a whispering chamber. Of course I had to test it by singing something in one of the fey languages. That was then we discovered there was a torus of perfect sound up in the air, and without my air wings, the only way to get up there was with the aid of an ''Install Flight''. Turned out there was writing up at the forty foot mark which, after I transcribed it, turned out to be a coded message addressed to the Titans Mnemosyne and Prometheus.

	The other spot they recommend we look at is the '''Valley of the Giants'''. Also, from what we could determine was their E&E mage had only one of the 'E's but we weren't sure which one. Also their 'air mage' turned out to be an earth mage. They also told us that our yellow sashes are just far enough removed from the local Imperial Yellow in order to be 'off duty'. That explains why Sir Wojer was getting a lot of free food and drinks the other day.		The other spot they recommend we look at is the '''Valley of the Giants'''.

	Go to see '''Sir Prudence''' at the '''Inn of the White Dragon'''. He turned out to be a gentleman with very white hair and elven features that were weather beaten. He's also the Baron of AnteCarzala, sandwiched between Carzala on the south and Ranke on the north. We were told that Iapetus the Greater Titan, on the Plane of Purple, believed to have been totally slain by the N'cer is in fact the new body that the N'cer has been wearing for over 200,000 years.

	Also with him was Lady <s>Electro </s> '''Alecto''', the Minister of Justice and Retribution. I got the impression she was part fae.

	We were going to go the same way, in some sort of astral travel and would end up in bodies on the other side.

	So, the next day, we prepared to leave, lying down on some rather comfy cushions. We ended up in a small wood near a large town. I'm still an elf but looking older with grey hair and with a staff. I learnt that I was a ~~â€˜grey~~ elf', a lower caste of elf and all the males had been wiped out. Grey elves. This entire island we were on, was run by '''merchant princes''' with '''orcs''' and '''goblins''' making up most of the population. '''High Elves''' and '''dwarves''' had a high social status with the orcs and goblins in the middle and us '''''grey elves''''' right down at the bottom. Which is why most of them live in the wild woods and are considered to be wild creatures at best and evil baby-eating witches at the worst. Speaking of witches, someone got rid of the '''Witch King''' – at least that's what the bunch of dwarf merchants that we ran into said.

	We were all linked by a mind speech so we could communicate and learnt about the situation, the currency, commerce, how society works etc etc etc. It was decided to go into the city in order to equip – yes, we had arrived with money, some sort of paper script with strange runes on it. The sky was overcast, couldn't see the sun but we were told that the day was twenty hours long. Oh, and apparently we elves have four fingers and two thumbs on each hand.

	Anyway, they wanted to be off ASAP so, next day saw us on a small boat on the canal drifting away from the city at roughly two miles an hour. The fact that we were going uphill through a series of locks may have had something to do with that. It was raining for most of the trip so we were under shelter (well, mostly under shelter as far as the grey elves were concerned. Oh well .... could be worse.

	After several hours of travel we got off the boat at a major canal junction. We were told that we needed to get '''Fnesse''' (the lady goblin) to the temple as it is a good spot for her to ''lay her eggs''. Doc also suspected we were off-plane as we seem to ~~â€˜~~''know what, but we don't know why, which would lead us to who or whatever''' He did say that there was a big change coming. Whether or not that was the upcoming civil war remained to be seen.		After several hours of travel we got off the boat at a major canal junction.

	We also got familiar with the weapons we had purchased. While target shooting with the bow, I discovered they had a spell for duplicating arrows which lead me to taking out the berry hanging off the branch I was aiming at, the leaf next to it ..... and the poor little birdie I was trying hard not to hit. So time was spent co-ordinating spells and abilities so we could be a cohesive unit when the situation needed it.		We also got familiar with the weapons we had purchased.
