			Again it was a wet morning. Andreus had already arrived and was checking the loading of the big
			barge.
			It was decided to put the small coracle on the barge, tow one of the punt boats and that some of
			us would follow in the other. Finally we headed off. Andreus was controlling the barge while I
			followed after with the punt. Kismet and Kryan were with me. While Kynn was shown the
			location of the two pubs, we waited at the entrance to the Grand Canal for them.
			After a few hours we stopped to rest. I decided to stretch out a bit and go for a swim, after being
			warned not to go too far. Slasher came back later with the back end of an alligator. Turned out
			he had wrestled it to death.
			Another couple of hours later and we were travelling down a narrow channel that was completely
			covered over with tree branches from both banks. Vines and other things were hanging down over
			the water. I was hoping that nothing nasty would decide to drop into the punt.
			Shortly Andreus pulled the barge into the bank and I came in alongside. Kismet chose that
			moment to wake up so I gave him the piece of lunch I had been saving. Andreus told us that there
			was a strange, but relatively harmless, area on this island. He would stay with the boat while we
			investigated.
			After a short walk, avoiding several small clouds of midges, we found the area that Andreus was
			talking about. The ground was covered with dead leaves, but in this area, they were moving.
			According to Drover they were sentient animates. The effect of last mana to impact was animation
			which had occurred seven months ago. The area was not magically warded, trapped or cursed.
			I picked up a heap of leaf litter and tossed it in. Nothing happened save the animated leaves
			crawled all over it and soon it was lost to view. Kismet used telekinesis to pull one out. The effect
			faded after a few minutes and the aura reverted to formally living.
			I wondered if the effect extended to anything that was formally living so I plucked out a long
			strand of hair. Slasher volunteered to drop it in so I handed it to him. He stepped into the area,
			and then turned and fled. Kismet used a Wizard's Eye to track him then Slept him. Most of the
			party went to retrieve him.
			.12.
			Just as they arrived with the still unconscious Slasher, Dario DelaVelani burst into the clearing.
			Goodness knows how he managed to find us however he had disturbing news. The Callistratas
			had perverted half the dojo (the ruling council) and that they had taken over the city. His father
			was imprisoned and his mother had been killed. Fighting was still occurring in the city. He had
			instructions to get clear to Polgase and wanted our protection. A group of assassins were already
			hot on his tail. He hoped he had managed to lose them in the swamp.
			Drover and I examined Slasher. According to my ocular he was magically cursed. Suddenly
			Kismet and Dario disappeared and Kryan made himself look like Dario. Another Dario also
			appeared. To cap it off he put an illusion over the cursed mana zone to make it look normal. I
			triggered a Trollskin on myself - just in case and prepared my dagger and maingauche.
			Hargan and Kynn must have seen something as Hargan fired a crossbow bolt then both of them
			advanced towards the edge of the clearing (I later found out that Kismet had been Slept at the
			edge and was being dragged off). Once they were out of my way, I headed for cover behind a
			nearby tree. There I spotted another 'assassin' in chain mail, helm and carrying a medium sized
			sword. It didn't look like he had seen me as I ducked back behind the tree. I then saw another one
			advancing towards our position. I decided to attempt to cut that one off, but was intercepted by
			a third man brandishing an estoc. The first one I had seen joined him. Kynn kept slicing and dicing
			until someone hit her with a Sleep spell.
			I closed and went on the attack in an attempt to subdue. I did manage to scrape one with the
			dagger, but was shield bashed for my troubles. We were at a standoff situation when we were all
			hit by an Agony spell. Not again! Crawling into the middle of a nearby clump of bushes seemed
			like a really good idea.
			While this was going on, Slasher was trying to rally members of the opposition to crawl into the
			mana zone while in their agonised state. One did so and his chain mail armour turned into daisy
			chain armour. A second one had his clothing change colour to several shades of greens and lilacs.
			Kryan was invisible at the time so he picked up the sleeping Kynn and carried her towards the
			person dragging Kismet. "Drop him or I kill you". The man seeing someone floating towards him
			and uttering dire threats, did exactly that. Kryan then shield-bashed him - using Kynn as the shield.
			After helping Drover deal to another we finally regrouped. Several of the 'assassins' had been
			caught in Rings of Bone so Slasher went to deal with them.
			It was soon discovered that the boats were gone, whether or not Andreus had taken them to
			safety or he had been set upon and captured I don't know. And it wasn't just the Water Staff, the
			original set of scribe notes were also in the pack. Guild Security was NOT going to be pleased -
			especially this was the second time something like this had happened to me.
			Some of us, me included, were all for finding the boat and checking on Andreus's welfare but
			Dario insisted that we help him get to Polgase. It would be too risky to do anything else now.
			Finally we agreed.
			The only way off this island was either to swim or by boat. So we started constructing a rough
			boat and I bound the whole thing with a Ship Strength. I then peeled off my kraken skin armour
			and shifted into merform. Kryan also decided to go to merform as well. Kynn was able to swim
			as quickly as we did so we took turns pushing the raft with the others on it.
			It took us three days to get down the delta to the coast. On the way I started feeling really sick
			and had to rest on the raft. First I thought it was bad water, but then realised that we must have
			blundered into a cursed zone. Slasher came down with a headache. At one point we spotted a
			bright yellow otter.
			20/01/95
			Finally we were out of the delta. The water no longer tasted like cold tea, instead it had the more
			pleasant salty tang I was used to. Most of us weren't keen on trying to use this raft all the way to
			Polgase so it was decided to gain passage on a ship. But we didn't want to do so openly in case
			someone tried taking pot-shots at us. So we played the parts of drifting castaways off the coast.
			This resulted in us being picked up by an outbound merchant ship on its way to Polgase. While
			the others were confined to the hold I was helping out with the sailing (I resembled their local
			islanders who were also skilled sailors). To avoid any awkwardness I asked Kryan for illusionary
			clothes for the duration as all I had left was what I had been wearing. Everything else had been
			on the punt.
			26/01/95
			Eventually we arrived at the island and got transport up the mountain to Polgase. Once there we
			reached Count Kinley's house. There we were divinated and each of us were suffering some
			effects of encountering mana zones. My aura had completely vanished. After consultation with
			their local Namer I decided to have that curse lifted.
			Kynn, Slasher, and Kryan volunteered to stay behind and help deal to the problem at Villainy and
			also to attempt to retrieve the Water Staff. I felt I'd better get back and tell the Guild what had
			happened. So after a few days of preparations, divinations and curse removals, those that were
			going were ready to go. I had a rather tearful farewell to Kryan and promised to check up on what
			was going on.
			As I predicted I was soundly berated by Guild Security, especially since another party had also
			managed to mislay their notes and managed to get themselves framed for assassinating someone
			high up in Destiny resulting in a trade embargo.
