[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 2524081, member: 118"] Exiting the place turns out to be much easier than coming in. The only way out is back through the black portal, which deposits everyone back at the entrance portal. The apes again express their displeasure at the group's presence in the shaft, but do not attack. Outside Kisthmetch, the strange bird-like creature is nowhere to be seen. The group travels as far as possible before sundown. Unlike the previous night, no hungry creatures disturb their camp. Early the following evening, the group arrives at the Sharden Enclave where they had first spoken with Shaddeck. There are several folks moving around the compound, mostly engaged in simple tasks. In many cases, it's difficult to discern between who might be a student or part of the staff. The smell of dinner roasting is a welcome greeting. A young woman, presumably a student by virtue of her age and the magister's staff she carries, greets them. She asks them to wait while she fetches Shaddeck. Shaddeck emerges from the largest building on the property, walking quickly to greet the group. Everyone immediately notices the ephemeral black mark on his forehead. "I'm glad to see that you've all returned safely," he says. "The journey to Kisthmetch is always a perilous one. And I'm also pleased to see that you've successfully faced the trials of that place. Welcome to the Brotherhood." [/QUOTE]
