In Llorkh, Kain leads Render, Neville, Hokam, and VS in a search north into the hills looking for some ruins supposedly built by a wizard. They find the ruins in a valley of noxious gases, and have to enter the complex by way of the air vents - guarded by a spellcasting Yellowbone goblin. Once inside, they discover strange sigils and a pool that might be a portal, then get into a tangle with the Yellowbones - Render goes down, the others are captured. It's a cliffhanger!
