The group travels from the ruined forge after doing their best to scuttle the machinery. The way back is relatively easy although the two affected party members suffer from the trip. The lightning rail is as comfortable, or perhaps moreso, then the first trip out.
You arrive back in Sharn without fanfare or event and travel to the Upper Central Plateau via available public transportation (after dropping off Vistrathis and Alex at a House Jorasco clinic for treatment, Gark will stay with them to keep an eye). A minor clerk takes your names and asks you to have a seat, then looks at you closer, and suggests you stand, rather than sit.
She hands a note to a runner who departs. An hour and a half later he returns and hands something to the clerk. She calls you over and hands you an envelope.
Met me outside the Tower's Shard after dark tonight, in the Facet we met in previously.
M it reads simply.
Arriving at the Shard you find it fairly crowded, as usual, with a collection of rather exotic humanoids, again as usual. You travel to the meeting room in the back and await her arrival. As midnight approaches the door opens quickly and she slips in. The woman appears surprised by the appearance of so many new faces, but she holds up a hand to stop anyone who begins speaking.
Like before she begins to say a few words of arcane power and tracing sigils into the door with a white powder.

The spell takes 10 minutes to cast before she turns to you, her features cold and hard. "Where the **** are rest of your party and who the **** are you" she hisses, first leaning in to Haltor then turning her attention to the half-elf and dwarf.

The mage who teleported you here was nowhere to be found when you passed through and nobody saw him leave either.[/sblock]
