[QUOTE="Cerebral Paladin, post: 3605096, member: 3448"] [Session 3] [I joined this session late, so I only have basic information about our travel into the Shadowlands. The party consisted of Spring, Durak, and Cilorean, with Konrad joining partway through. The party was given two ounces of bone water dust, an extremely powerful dessicant that kills almost instantly. The Hasturs make it a grain at a time, using the resources of entire circles, so the amount we were given represented a substantial investment of psionic resources in our group.
