Gathering our gold and goods, we Teleported to Kalabuto. I was able to get much of my shopping done the first day, but both Max and Ka’Azbu have weapons that need enchanting and that will take a number of days. ----------Neth the 9th.I have been studying Urschlar Vohkavi’s journal in my spare time. It has become obvious to me that he is quite insane, though I’m sure he believed otherwise. After his discovery of the Black Spores, his “genius” idea was to infect Saventh-Yhi’s water supply with them. I can only imagine the chaos this caused. He did observe the spores only seem to affect Humanoids (which explains why Ace and Taraz have never been affected). What an utter fool. I must say, my complete contempt for him is exacerbated by the complications we face in our explorations because of Vohkavi’s Spores.----------Neth the 10th-14th.Shopping and other mundane tasks.----------Neth the 15th.While it was nice to be back in civilization, we are eager to return to our explorations of Saventh-Yhi. Having completed what we needed to do, we Teleported back to camp.----------Neth the 16th. The Pathfinder's research has gone quite well, even in our absence. I’m confident our knowledge of the ruins has far outpaced that of our competitors.We decided to explore the Vault in the Residential District. We found a narrow cave with stone steps going down into the earth. At the bottom we entered a small chamber where we were attacked by creatures that were part plant, part lion. There were also chests with Dwarven writing that contained a number of common items, all too rotted and decrepit to be useful.Further on we encountered more of the dreadful Basidironds. Their hallucinogenic spores affected Max for a brief period, making him think his hammer had turned into a serpent. In the next chamber we were attacked by a hoard of creatures that resembled extraplanar crickets, quite strange.To complete this vault of oddities was a massive chamber with a large, shallow pool. In the center was a creature that resembled a huge sea anemone. Once it was defeated, we found a Dwarven skeleton in the pool. Judging from the markings on the armor, it appears to be Eggra, a famous Dwarven explorer of the Cragorak Clan. We also found another of the Blue Crystals.----------Neth the 17th.We chose to explore the Vault in the Military District today. There we found a large cave and were almost immediately attacked by a Gargantuan Crocodile covered with a web-like shroud. Whenever the monstrosity was struck, spiders poured from the wound. It was quite bothersome, especially when Max was nauseated by the swarm as it covered him head to toe. He was so disgusted by them that he actually requested that I target him with a Fireball to remove the pesky creatures.Once the Crocodile was defeated, more shroud covered creatures attacked us. This time it was a group of Corpse-Spun Boggards. The results were pretty much the same, with yet another Fireball for Max.Once they were defeated, the source of this infestation arrived, a Huge, Corpse-Spinning Spider. In its web-filled lair we found more of the Blue Crystals.On our way back to camp we saw a number of flying gorillas flocking about the western portion of the city. I believe they are called Derhii, known servants of the Gorilla King. Sure enough, upon entering the Mercantile District (the site of the last unexplored vault, oddly enough) we encountered a large number of Derhii, Charau-Ka and Girallons. In guttural common, one of the Derhii told us the Gorilla King has requested our presence in his camp, located within the district. As a side note, I fear we may be becoming overly confident in our abilities. Though thoroughly surrounded and outnumbered, I don’t think any of us actually felt intimidated by their numbers. Max and Ace actually gave me the “we can totally take them” look. I didn’t disagree, but felt we should at least attempt Diplomacy. I hope our confidence doesn’t get us in too deep.Once we arrived, the Gorilla King greeted us and explained that he ruled all within the Mwangi Expanse. As the most powerful warriors exploring Saventh-Yhi, we would have to prove our worth to uphold our claim to the ruined city. He explained we would have to pass three tests (sounds a bit like what we went through with N’Ketchi), but first we would have a feast. At this point he summoned forth a number of Human Slaves and had them get down on all fours as our seating for the feast. The Gorilla King was not exactly starting off on the right foot with me. I quickly suppressed an almost overwhelming urge to give my allies “the look”.</blockquote>
