• Summary: Pelka, Ravenstongue, Skielstregar, and Telamon meet the gnome wizard Kninumpommoeraen and obtain a ride out to the waystation on the Kultari Road. Preparations are confirmed before they are teleported to a Sildanyari digsite in the Greatwood known as 'the Feypool.' There they meet an aloof and unpleasant Llyranesi scholar named Ikshama-of-Hers and a Sylvanori warden named Annae. They situation is explained; fiend-blooded oruch ("yrchtaint") have been spotted near the camp. Ravenstongue and Telamon endure undue condescension but stay on-mission. The two half-Sil as well as Pelka and Skielstregar ask their questions before the quartet heads into the wilderness.

Skielstregar and Pelka locate signs of the oruch, the sith-makar able to track them to the aforementioned "yrchtaint." Ravenstongue and Telamon are distracted by unpleasant supernatural activity in the woods. Pelka observes that most of the oruch and mogareg in the camp are spirits and only half-there. Battle is joined with one fiendish oruch drummer and two of the monstrous mogareg. All three creatures are slain but not before Skielstregar is knocked unconscious. Pelka is only lightly-wounded and the sorcerers come through unscathed.

A curious late arrival turns out to be a powerful agent of some dark force. It poses as one of the wardens and acts disarmingly friendly... until it devours the souls of the timelost Kosomoth cultists. Then it disappears.

Disturbed, the group returns to the Feypool to debrief their employers and be returned to Alexandria.
