The town is a terrible rubble after the fight with the Tomato, the monkey boys
and the Ogres. We throw the monkey boy into a room of the local guardhouse
which we convert to a jail cell. I spend the night talking with the locals
about what happened. The next day B'redaru casts a spell so he can understand
the monkey boy and starts to interrogate him. After some time he says he
doesn't get any new information from him and I was getting bored anyhow, so I
tell the angry mob which has gathered outside they can have fun with the monkey
boy.
We didn't really get any interesting information from the monkey boy, apart
from that they have Bixia but that isn't real news. We decide to go see if our
brave tracker Urdos can follow the trail of chopped trees and trampled
undergrowth through the jungle. Using his amazing skills we follow the trail.
After a few days we seem to get somewhere. In the distance a faint bluish light
is shining. The closer we get, the brighter the light gets and we also start to
hear a strange buzzing noise. It keeps getting louder and louder as we come
closer until we come to an opening in the jungle in which there lies a big
crystal.
All the plants round the crystal seems to have died, and even some dead birds
are lying on the ground. B'redaru and Folwick try to reach the crystal but they
get sick halfway and turn back. Everyone starts to get a bit queasy and we
decide to move away. Ithadriel does some mumbo jumbo and says it is some kind
of teleportation magic. Somewhat disheartened we camp for the night a little
while away. The next day someone dispels the magic around the stone and we can
finally get closer. There is an inscription on it, something like "Say this and
you will be teleported." I spend the rest of the day touching the stone and
saying things but it doesn't really seem to work. Meanwhile they decide to go
back to the town and carry the stone with them.
Back at the village the stone is still a stone and we decide to leave it. We
find a boat to take us to Jauhare at the other side of the lake. After some
time we get there. The village is quite utterly destroyed. After some searching
we find another Tomato with a big hole in its side. We also find two tracks of
Tomato's.
