	Tests showed that the contaminant had come down the main stream so we continued going up the bank we had been. Later on. we heard goats and the sounds of flying insects which turned out to be bees. A bit later on we found an apple tree so I took the opportunity for a bit of scrumping. Another fifty feet on was a large clearing with a massive oak tree in the middle. A treehouse was in it's branches and, as we approached, a grey skinned male elf, roughly six foot tall, came out to greet us. His elven was strangely accented as well. His name was ~~Divintraâ€™tel~~ Derret , but we could call him Divintra. The apple tree was his, so I admitted my scrumping, but he said it produced more apples than he could use. He also grew potatoes which had me wondering what could be made with just apples and potatoes. The bees had told him we were coming.

	Also, as the artefact was removed from the remains of Derentos, it caused a 'disconnection' of magic which stopped the lethagy effect from continuing.

			''Day 17''<br>
			The ice finally melted enough for me to freedive under - since the water was now declared safe - in order to retrieve any loot that was lying on the bottom. I also discovered that Derentos's body was actually connected to the tree roots of that Whomping Willow, part of which had grown into the Tower and was attempting to whomp us as we got close. As soon as the disk was out, it too stopped. Quite a lot of interesting loot was recovered.

			On the way back, we stopped off to let Dervintra know what had happened. He recognised Derentos as a drow commander who was a rather fanatical demon worshipper.

			By the time we got back to Shepperton, they had a party waiting for us. Well ... who would turn down a party ... especially when they were the guest of honour. We had a great time - at least I know I did.

			''Day 21''<br>
			We had to make sure Haggity and the sealed box got back to Silverstream safely. To ensure that it wasn't tampered with, we had sealed the lid on with candle wax and I had even wrapped ribbon around it topped with a rather cute bow. The words "Do Not Open until the Impending Apocolypse" were also written on it.

			Granny and Fanny were very interested in our story .. well Fanny was, asking all sorts of questions for extra detail while Granny just sat and rocked with her tomcat on her knee. She may have looked half asleep but, with Granny, appearances can be deceiving. She then told us to take the box to the Guild and stash it deep into the Vaults until she found a way to destroy it safely.

			''Day 25''<br>
			Arrived in Seagate, delivered the box into Guild Security's safekeeping, got all the loot divinated (so were we - just in case), valued, then split it all between us. Of course the Guild got it's share but hopefully I got enough to get some special spells from the Ice College. So it's off to Pasifika to learn some more from Veor. Plus I really need to learn halfling.

			Since I had frozen most of the water around Derentos he couldn't get to us while we shot or through missile weapons at him. Everytime we hit him and did effective damage he screamed.

			"Ooooh ... That's an A Sharp. That one must have really got in" - Snowdrop.

			I guess I was being callous but ... to be honest, I was trying not to think about it and keeping my mind off it by concentrating on the notes. Finally, it was all over when my final arrow went into his open mouth and out the other side.

			"B flat minor" - Snowdrop. Sometimes it's annoying having perfect pitch.

	After Reinar made the hole wider I froze as much of the water as I could. Fortunately Phos reminded me to use my Counterspell on myself before I backfired myself silly. Of course this caused the undead to rise up again and Derentos the Repetitious repeated his entire spiel. Somehow we were able to lure the two minions out of the water and while the others beat them up, I was trying to build an ice path to Derentos.

			After that, we rested and healed up while we planned our next move. Haggity had some restoratives so I took one in order to get my spell power back. She also told us that we needed to use magical or silvered weapons to harm Derentos and we needed to 'kill' him to remove that item from inside him so it could be destroyed. At some point, it seemed that she was actually communicating with Granny over long distance. We also got the impression that Granny is very powerful and not to be messed with.

			Reinar spoke to the stonework of the Tower and was told 'Contagion made me' That threw us for a while as we were sure the tower predated the contagion.
