 She introduces herself as Madame Eva, a Vistani. As she begins to prepare the table and cards, Misty watched with wide eyed curiosity. Eva says the cards grant her incite. She says, there is a thread of fate that binds all things. Her incite and the cards told her that champions were coming to the land and she was to guide them on their path. Tonight, she is going to grant us a card reading. Misty is very excited. Eva presents the cards and shuffles the cards creates two separate stacks.
-She then pulls over the first card and places it on the table. "The two of coins, The Philanthropist! This cards tells of history, knowledge of ancient which will help you better understand your enemy. For this, look to a place where sickness and madness are bred. Where children once cried the treasure still lies.".

 After we pass about 50 yards away, the gate closes again. Misty, curious as she is, tests the gate to see if they open again if she returns towards them and they do. There are two giant statues on either side of the road that are looking down as though watching but they do not move, they are still quite ominous in their appearance. We also noted that the gate is not something you can walk around. The natural slope of the mountain range creates a wall up top and beyond the gate.
-It’s around 4:00 or 5:00 in the evening. It seems to get darks around 7:30 so we figure we still have a couple of hours to travel. We are approaching a dense forest area.
+It’s around 4:00 or 5:00 in the evening. It seems to get darks around 7:30 so we figure we still have a couple of hours to travel. We are approaching a dense forest area. We tried to determine how wide the Forrest was. If we could complete passing through it before nightfall. Irena had travelled through here before and she remembered it being only 2 or 3 miles across so we continued on. Once through the woods, we set up a camp and set up a watch and went to sleep.
+Kyana, as she lays there, awake, she feels funny, almost insubstantial. She reaches out to touch the ground and her hand passes into the ground. Then she pulls her hand out and looks at it. She then tries to touch her hands and they pass through each other. Then she starts getting really nauseous. Kyana gets up and moves away a little and then gets down on all fours and throws up. After that she feels a little better and shortly after that she felt normal again. When asked about it, she didn’t know why she was sick, must have been something she ate.
+As we are talking, we notice a light, like a torch light, moving along in the distance. As we watch it for a bit, the torch appears to be moving away. Kyana goes back to sleep as she still feels like she needs rest. Rinn and Misty end their watch. Zanfyr and Haldar take watch. Kyana and Rinn tell him about the torch light. Rinn also puts, Boo out to watch as well. Kyana checks the ground occasionally to make sure it’s still solid to her. The rest of the night passes without event.
+The next morning, some of us are awakened by the loud call of a raven as it flew over. The raven flies a little further ahead of us and lights on a branch. We keep an eye on it. Boo rides on Rinn’s shoulder and is charged with watching the raven. Zanfyr notices the raven has a light blue tip to it’s wings.
+We travel another 6 miles or so to another intersection with a road to the west. We thought we would go find the ladies that make the pies. They are supposed to be at the mill that way. After about a mile down the path, when we satart noticing the grasss isn’t growing very well and nature just starts looking a little sickly. Yes, the recording did reflect that she only travelled with the pies a could of times a week. Less grass and Juniper trees are more prevalent. The raven continues to fly around overhead. Boo no longer wants to continue. It seems to think it’s very dangerous ahead. Rinn puts it away.
+Rinn asked if Zanfyr is he had any idea why this area seemed to be worse off than other areas we had travelled through. He determines that there seems to be something disrupting the life energy of the area. We don’t hear any animals or bugs. The trees are there but they are obviously affected. That brought up something we had heard before about the druid’s here, being evil and maybe we are walking into an area controlled by those druids. Snoggly also mentioned witches.
+Eventually we reach a point where we see an old wind mill up the hill. Out around the edges we see some wooden posts, like old fence post, and on top of one of the posts is that raven. He seems a little agitated. Zanfyr and Haldar move towards the raven thinking to try and communicate with it. It gets even more agitated. When they get about 50 feet away, it starts flying and then flying at them even more agitated. The hold up, trying to keep their distance a little. Haldar and Zanfyr determine that it appears to not want us to go any further. When they tell the rest of the group, questions about what the raven really wants pop up. Rinn reminds everyone that this is not our mission and perhaps we should save this to look into later. Haldar does see signs of life coming from the mill. The group does agree that we should stick to the mission. Maybe, we can find the old ladies in Vallaki.
+We go back the way we camera and take the north path to continue on to Vallaki. We looked for a couple of shortcuts but the forest and slopes make it hard to cross so we stuck to the road. We picked up the pace and made it to Vallaki around dusk.
