When the mist clears, you find yourselves in a deep valley. It appears to be about early afternoon, but the strange slant of the sky leaves you uncertain. As you survey your surroundings, you find that the journey has left you scattered. Comrades that were at your side before can now be found halfway across the valley, or farther. Some seem not to have made it at all. Of those who did make it, many seem sickened. They complain of nausea, disorientation, and weakness. Never the less, by night fall, you have gathered most of your people and supplies, and some that did not embark with you, and made camp in the valley. The sky is a fainter shade of blue than you are used to, and the clouds are tainted orange. This is lost upon you at first, however, as you are staring at the three full moons in the sky. The valley beneath is flanked by hills, and is largely forested. The trees are tall and grey, with hard, solid bark bearing strange abstract patterns. Their leaves are a deep blue green, and spring from forking, gently curved limbs. You see a great many strange plants beneath, all in hues just slightly off. there is a stretch of grassland, where the foliage stands as much as ten feet tall when bowed over. It is a strange rusty orange color, except for light blue flowers.
The passage has left twenty six members of your party unaccounted for, and another thirty one sickened. You are missing 28 tents, 1 oxen, 2 Marble Statues, 9 axes, 1 shovel, 2 Bags of Seeds, 3 Barrels of preserved food, 1 large idol of Odocast, 1 greataxe, 2 woodcutting axes, 1 mining pick, 3 tents(housing 2 each), 13 rations, 4 bows, 8 swords, 2 hand-axes, 23 food, 1 hoe, 2 fishing rods, and 3 pickaxes.
You find a wagon with a libraries worth of books and 5 scholars inside. Another wagon further down the valley is filled with gold ingots. Scattered along the valley are a barrel of fresh apples, a large cheese wrapped in cloth, three suits of chain mail, a poleaxe, and a crate containing the parts for a lathe.
Night is falling, and in the distance, you hear a deep and resonant howling.
