Together the two scour the villa of Coles, but he is nowhere to be found.Only one thing stands out as being off-kilter in the entire manse: an ebony walking stick is lying atop the breakfast table, small flecks of grass still visible on its shod foot.Kith cannot find Yodwin anywhere in his tiny cubicle. It is relatively unchanged from his visit the night before, except for a small note, written in a neat hand, lying in plain sight on the nightstand. It looks as if it were meant to be discovered.The note reads:  My Friends,Whilst I was preparing to fall asleep, it hit me as a waking dream. I know from whence comes this evil man. My mind is old and failing, but I remembered so much! There are still parts I find tantalizingly hidden from me, but I will explain it all. I'm so happy I cannot sleep and will await you at the grove on the east side of the plateau, for I know you are returning to see me in the morning.All praise the Empire,(signed)Yodwin, the Blue."Just as Kith is finishing readin the note, an Astral Construct arrives, delivering the message from Charlotte, before vanishing in a slick film of ectoplasm.****** ... making some assumptions here... *********The entire group (even Maerath, who takes a few moments out of studying his new scroll), arrives at the grove.The old nature priest, Emair, is still waiting at the grove, with Ellie.Ellie comes forward, very excited, "This man has seen Yodwin and Coles!"The elderly priest clears his throat, and explains."While meditating all through the night, three things disturbed my peaceful rest. I saw a man dressed in black, wearing a helmet with downward curved horns, walked into the grove. He looked around but apparently did not see me -- because then he did something I'd never seen before -- he walked into the placid pool in the middle of the grove, and disappeared from sight. I expected him to surface for air, but he never returned."Then a few hours before dawn, I saw Yodwin and Coles walk into the grove, while it was still dark, and do the same thing. They, too, appeared to not see me."By then I was interminably curious, so after finishing my night of prayer and vigil, I investigated the pool... deep within the pool I found a cave, under the water. I only went a few feet into the cave. There's fresh air and signs of footprints, but all three men are gone."[color= blue] This should give everyone time to make some preparations. Talk among yourselves; be back Tuesday morning.[/color]</blockquote>
