The wild stories caught the interest of the gensai Exodi who thought it better to test himself in delves closer to the surface than get mixed-up with a party exploring this expansive but dangerous underworld. Were these conversations the prelude to an expedition to this cavern jungle that seems to unreal to be truth? One was not seen leaving from the Witch . Four days ago, the pair were seen as part of this group at the Athenaeum of the Dying Sun which surely did look like an adventuring party: Journeyman Crannoc (Level 5 Magic-User) Uscha (Fey Servitor) Ferris (Level 1 Living Harness hireling) PakPak (Level 5 Kobold) Phasmo (Level 4 Magic-User) Lirazil (Level 2 Elf retainer) Souz'awn (Level 1 Fighter hireling) That evening, the group was seen covered in grime and smelling of jungle rot yet without ever been seen lea
