Mardana-Fel:
Palal has broken through the final warded seal and plans to face the guardians within some time during the next few weeks. Currently he is meditating within the druid grove and recovering his powers, having been taxed to the limit by overcoming the layers of powerful magical protections... damaged or not, they were created to repulse gods.

Ral Myres has been using his new artifacts to push deeper into the ruins daily and now holds a small token that, from what you can tell, will shift the bearer into a shadow realm and back at will. Handy, as both it and the real world overlap for the most part, while the denizens do not.

Vassik has finalized his preparations for ambushing Palal after recovery of the Orb and keeps a near-constant watch over the druid through subtle scrying. He now lies in wait, patient as a viper coiled to strike.


Heroes:
Despite their best efforts of the entire group, Tissa has been left somewhat despondent by the complete lack of a cure. All the previously readily available magical cures were shut off with the revolution, but it is more the lack of any information regarding a “cure-all” that has left the group without hope. Normal magical cures were tried long ago, after all. Even the wizard’s scrying and a few powerful tracking and scrying artifacts the twins possess are unable to find the slightest hint of the rumored miracle balm... probably because it never existed in the first place.

The twins are growing restless and bored with the dullness, however, and Tissa seems to have almost given up. She has promised them that if they do not find any trace of the cure within the week they will depart and search elsewhere, much to the relief of the two adventure-seeking teens.
