Safely back in the lands of Tarkenia, we quickly made our way to Tower Woebegone.  The Hastur of that tower reverently lifted the matrix with their minds and moved it into their tower.  Caldefor may still be in Shadow, but we had struck a mighty blow, and will bring it back into the Darkness soon enough.[End of Session 2-- sessions 1 and 2 were different days of the same weekend.  Session 3 was a year later.]</blockquote>
