			We found the bullock cart at the farmers then headed into the village again. Once we re-
			established our credentials, again, instructions were left for only the brewery pit to be used. Sam
			had recovered from his backfire effects so we were dropping more cores in a different direction
			and found more seepage just above the clay level around the area of the well. The supervisor at
			the distillery also reported a bucket missing, the one Dirk had ‘borrowed’ yesterday.
			While Sam had been doing his tests, the cart had arrived and the pit pumped out. We even had
			them get in there, with the help of vapour breathings to remove the last of it off the walls and
			floor with shovels. What was revealed was unexpected. Five foot up on one wall, an arch shaped
			section of wall had been pushed outward. Radiating cracks led from what looked like a small
			impact crater. Something very small had hit the wall with a very powerful impact.
			There was no aura on the cracked area and a massive swing with a pickaxe cause a very small
			amount of damage so that seemed to rule out a physical attack. However a residual aura was
			discovered in the back of the impact point. It was magical and was a chronomantic effect, a
			collapse of a time bubble. So Dirk started divinating.
			It wasn’t until 10pm that he finally had some results. The aura was a remnant of a concentrated
			bubble of time that had imploded. The implosion had occurred seven days ago and seemed to
			be a blending of different types of time magics. There was no sign of dilution. Seemed to be 75%
			water time magic, 20% earth and 5% air. Also there was a hint of binding stuff.
			Finally Falco and I went to inform the dryads. They arranged to send the mole in while we flew
			back to town.

			13 th Frost
			It wasn’t until mid afternoon when we woke up the next day. Grizelda had the impression that
			we had been awake for 42 hours. However, we hadn’t lost a day. Hamish used his crystal ball
			but the covers were on the pits and there were only six barrels on the cart. So we headed back
			to the village. This trip, I took the bucket back. On the way there, we saw the laden cart heading
			up the road. The first thing we checked upon arrival was the distillery pit. It was now intact and
			still empty. However, there had been a reset so there was still something else to do.
			Hamish did a reading asking ‘Is a storm good’. The answer was ‘For flowers maybe, but not
			here’. We then headed down to the nyads. On the way, trees were tested and it was discovered
			that they were still being poisoned. When we saw the nyad, she suggested getting a stick,
			soaking it in river water and then testing it. So we did. After testing, the stick was bring green
			in the middle and brown around the edges. The pollutant is still there but there is less of it.
			We had a look at the brewery pit, just in case. It was a quarter full and, all the tests we used told
			us that the magic bordering the pit was still intact. Sam made a couple of tunnels around the pit
			and discovered something was seeping up from below the clay layer. The ground at the bottom
			was squidgy and the sample I retrieved tested very brown. No corrosion was found in the chutes
			or any of the holding tanks. The manager told us that the blackberries were put in the distillery
			pit before the big storm. No magical air had been added, no normal air either.
			Hamish came to the conclusion that there was an unofficial still somewhere but there seemed to
			be no evidence of that. We then went to examine the blackberry patch. When we got there, I tried
			a blackberry and was immediately consumed by the desire for more. I’m not sure how many I
			had before I was restrained and rendered unconscious.
			“This is berry serious” - Dirk.
			I don’t remember very much until we got back to town that evening. Dirk divinated me and
			discovered I had been affected by compulsion magic. It was a minor curse, installed into the
			berries. The berries themselves had a mixture of earth and wiccan magic in them. Also detected
			in me, and presumably in everyone else, was some sort of fatigue drain. That had been triggered
			by an event occurring around dusk yesterday.
			Meanwhile the others were doing ritualistic question and answer sessions.
			“Assuming we don’t do anything else, how long will the poisoning effect take to
			dissipate?”
			The end of time - we concluded that meant forever.
			“What must be done to stop the poisoning?”
			More cleaning is required
			“Are the blackberries part of the cleaning?”
			If they’re not part of the solution, they’re part of the problem.
			“Why were the blackberries cursed - for what purpose?”
			Some people do not like having neighbours.
			“What is the name that will come important soon?”
			A very long and complicated reading was the only result.
			Crispen told us that Head Office were sending some journeymen healers and earth mages to help
			with the clean up. Also we came to the realisation that is was near dusk when the lieze cart left
			the village.
			14th Frost
			We checked with the alchemist who told us he had devised an antidote that would neutralise one
			hundred times the amount of poison. It would be ready in half an hour - tops.
			Alchemist - “Most people have heard of Mortimer”
			Sam - “Most of the Baronies have heard his explosions.”
			The next visit was the dryads. They told us that the mole had discovered a patch of bad, soft, area
			underground that wasn’t earth between the two pits and a bit towards the woods at the level of
			the water table. A lot of the water underground is sick.
			When we asked about the blackberries, we were told that there was a blackberry dryad there by
			the name of Kiera. She came to be after the agreement was forged and she can make her magic
			contagious. The dryads also confirmed that the draining effect was caused by a large amount of
			material leaving the ritual effect. That would be the lieze cart.
			Upon arrival at the village, Sam tried to make holes to find the bad area. Unfortunately he
			rendered himself mute.
			.9.
			Grizelda started digging a hole then, once the muteness wore off, Sam tried again. Soon he got
			a hole that had mush at the bottom of it. Both Sam and I went down to have a look. The reagent,
			once it contacted the mush, immediately turned black. Plus it was dissolving our boots and
			burning the skin underneath. We got out quickly. When the tunnel closed up, the mush was
			pushed up and out finally laying in Grizelda’s pit, all 300 odd cubic feet of it. A bucket chain
			using metal buckets and protective clothing was quickly set up to move this toxic stuff into the
			brewery pit, being the closer. Meanwhile Sam and I cleaned ourselves up as fast as we could
			before serious damage was done.
			The mush was a mixture of hops and barley residual and it had been fermenting down there,
			thanks to the chronomancy magic accelerating the process.
			Dirk, Sam and myself were suffering from a weakening backfire and Sam also had asthma. So
			we went to see if the vicar could fix us up. He could do the weakening effect but it would take
			a day and a half - much too long. So we decided to head for Artzdorf for curse removal.
			Once we arrived we landed at the top gate and decided to go to the Mages Guild. They wanted
			money up front for the curse removals, but my chalice was accepted as security. Fortunately the
			company would cover the 4000sp that was required. Curse removals took most of the night.
			15 th Frost
			The crystal ball test showed us that there were seven barrels on the wagon. While Dirk was being
			finished off, I picked up my repaired boots. Bit of a patchjob but they’d make good spares and
			I’ll get new ones back in Seagate, or maybe in Alfheim on the next visit. Once we were ready
			we left Artzdorf down the ramp until the local mana kicked in again and we could fly off,
			arriving at North Artz mid-afternoon.
			Crispen was in the pub with two guys in brownish robes. They were introduced as Mark and
			Nigel and were the two earth mages. After getting them up to date, we flew off again, this time
			to the blackberry patch. Thanks to the flower bracelets we could see the path and, somehow I did
			not feel like blackberries today.
			Sam talked to the brambles in order to warn Kiera we were coming and soon, we reached a
			grassy patch in the middle. A blackberry bush was in the centre while underneath were rabbit
			holes. Kiera soon appeared. She told us that if the villagers want blackberries again they should
			send in a rabbit. Apparently she loved bunnies. She had cursed the berries with gluttony after the
			villagers had raided for quite a lot.
			Back to the village and we discovered that they remembered us, from a month ago. In fact the
			previous month had been very quiet, and boring. Their memories were a bit hazy though but it
			was agreed that the date was the 15 th of Frost. We told the brewery manager about the
			blackberries then headed off to the Hart. They told us some more about the big storm, including
			large lightning strikes in the village. Probably where the air magics came from.
			Next stop was the nyads. She said the water was good enough and it should get better.
			So, after a successful mission we went back to town and prepared to go back to the Guild.
