	We walk all day, but feel less tired than expected, so we continue walking all night. As the sun comes up, we realise we've completed one loop. We counted a few dozen loops. Our duration magics expired when we expected them to. Yarag asks why we keep stopping and looking around and we realise we've been distracted by the magics here. We decide to go back down, but Yarag will continue on as he seems to have been accepted here. We travel back down in 2 hours and notice that Yarag has slowed down a little. We camp and wait. Kesha begins the work of a permanent portal. Lila drinks the water; it's clear and sweet and has no aura. There is some philosophical discussion about whether we should be doing this at all. After a week, he returns. It was OK but weird. He got bored. He's going to send one of his wise ones to talk to them when they settle.

	We decide to follow the river beyond the tepui inland. The river has become a more normal jungle river. There are minimal people, although we see occasional signs of life. This has been occupied at some points in time, but mostly overgrown by jungle. We investigate some stonework - there is a '''Cursed Space'''! About 400' across, nature of the magic is ~~doom~~. Kesha's ESP picks up half a dozen minds about 200' in who have been there 50,000 years - ancient ruins and minds. Eldaran writing - theme is for heinous crimes and unspeakable acts, ye shall be bound here until the end of days. Let none disturb. We should stay well clear of this place.

	Fly on. The river branches a bit more as we go westerly. Lots of tributaries and there is more spread. The land is gradually rising as we head inland. We choose to follow westward as much as possible. Yarag agrees that there is potential in this area but we need to do more scouting on the ground. We spend a half day checking out this area and then will head further westward to see if we can find the place which the elf was talking about. Overnight, Bromli lets us know about lights in the swamp. We decide these are will o the wisps and we should stay away from them. A couple of hours later, Bromli advises us of spirits moving around to the north of us. Kesha reckons they are the ghosts of those lured into the swamp by the lights.		Fly on.

	We decide to go through the portal. We appear on the far side in a kind of damp swampland, not much undergrowth, tall trees. We are in minimal clothing with none of our stuff. Feels like high mana. Spells and talents can be used but some magic has been removed from us (e.g. my shadowform/ strength of darkness) and we can't access items that we would normally pull from other dimensions. No ranger bump of direction, and when I scratch an arrow in the ground to indicate where we came from, it disappears after a few minutes. Bromli divinates the place - our initial guess is it is a pocket plane of some sort. Kesha ESPs and there is around us a vast presence/ being.		We decide to go through the portal.

	We walk back the way we came and come out with our gear as normal. Our spells' durations have gone down by an hour. We move to the next pair of pillars and walk through to see what happens. We are on the top of the tepui which is exactly as we can see - it hasn't taken us through to the pocket plane. We run a few tests and it seems we are still on Aleusia. We progress across the top of the tepui and find a lot of interesting herbs. Kesha would like to spend some time with the herbs, but instead we gather a random sackful of plant matter. We walk until late afternoon and are considering camping when we come across a ~~large~~ hole in the ~~middle~~ of the ~~tepui~~ - about a mile across and roughly circular. Disappears down into darkness - sides not easily climbable.		We walk back the way we came and come out with our gear as normal. Our spells' durations have gone down by an hour.

	Lila brings out one of her ravens who flies down for a couple of pulses then comes back saying it's weird down there. Makes his feathers stand on end. He does give us much information about what's down there. Bromli tries divinating himself - nothing he wouldn't expect to see, seems normal. He then does an ancient divination and discovers that 6 or 7 hours ago, there's a blank patch in the magical history. It's like nothing happened in that time. Kesha hypothesises that our avatar selves may have been in the pocket portal while we were physically here still.

			The remaining crew form the Nautiloid are sighted in the distance and a war party is sent to meet them. We plan our exit strategy - the bulk of the party head through the portal, Seren uses black lightning to destroy the Kilkeg end and then banishes back to Aleusia where we destroy the other end.
