	We decided to spend the night in the bat cave â€“ they gave us a small cave, off the main cave, which was full of crystals. There were no bats there, so it was comfortableâ€¦ only we found that we had fey who had curled up beside us as we slept.

	In the morning, we buffed ourselves, and the earth fey gave us strength of stone. We returned to the contaminated spring, but before we could begin dealing to the skeletons, something shot water bolts at us from the pool. We could now see a naiad in the pool, who was clearly and absolutely insane. I called down a counterspell over the pool, just before she could cast again. She let out a stream of curses and dropped down into the pool. Kerry added a wall of darkness, and then I cast a thunderclap into the pool. The water erupted, and when it subsided there was a naiad, floating unconscious. Pierre fished her out, and told us she was suffering from some time of degeneration. We took her on a travois to the next spring, and put her in some fresh water. I performed the healing ritual on her, and that seemed to help. But she would need specialised help so I sent a whisper to the Guild to request that Lady Starflower the Healer of Minds meet with us at Baron Helmuthâ€™s castle.

			We continued on, seeking the source, knowing it was not far. Soon, we could see something balefully glowing in the water. Some skeletal forms lay on the ground, glowing faintly in the grey light of the overcast day. Kerry placed a glowing orange wall of starlight to our right, while I failed to cast energy spray. We noticed that the bright orange of the wall was periodically flecked with blue. As she placed another one on the left side, I got the spell off, and shot all six of them with bolts of energy. And then, of course, they got up. The closest one tried to come at up through the left-hand wall, there was a burst of blue light and it carried on. Two more distant ones shot rays at Kerry and I. I failed again, as Kerry extended the right hand wall. The one that got through the wall attacked Kerry. So, it was clobbering time. Only, the skeletal warrior clobbered Kerry, crippling her left arm. Then, I hit the undead, and it exploded. They advanced. Kerry took another hit. I loosed a thunderclap since they were all now clumped together. And again, as Kerry and Pierre hacked at them. Another thunderclap and there were only three left, so I joined in the hacking, and shortly they were all down.

			The next problem was the source itself, in the stream. Pierre created some poles and we levered it out, propelling it up, and out and onto the ground. It stopped glowing. Pierre made a sack, and got it in there. It now looked like a faceted crystalline sphere with scribbles all over, that we did not want to look too closely at. Thankfully, whatever was happening had stopped happening. The stream was clearing and the walls no longer sparked.
			I asked the spiritsâ€¦

			How did that thing get here? They dug a hole and buried it.

			What else must be done to heal the land? Time and blessing.

			So I sent a message to the witches to come, while Pierre made lunch and I did recitation rituals.

			First, the placeâ€¦ There were drow, they were attempting to turn lead into gold with the aid of a demon-crafted philosopherâ€™s stone, made by Andreas aka Discord, and altered by Malthus. The intent was to suck seven somethings out of the lead to made gold, but when it didnâ€™t work properly it was making quicksilver which was poisoning the stream and the land.

			Then the stoneâ€¦ It was flawed. It didnâ€™t do what it was supposed to do, it was targeting the wrong kinds of lead and making other things (some of them weird poisonous alchemical metals) as well as gold â€“ which will be in the bottom of the lake. Which was still poisonous and would take months to clear. Unless we can think of a better way.

			The King of the Fae arrived with the witches, and was pleased. They set to work blessing the place. The Fae promised a boon as reward, along with whatever gold we could salvage.

			Eventually, we headed back to Baron Helmuthâ€™s castle, where we met up with Lady Starflower, who was indeed able to heal the unfortunate mad naiad. And the reformed Ursula the Enchantress, who asked to take on Rufus as an apprentice. As for the discordant philosopherâ€™s stoneâ€¦ we thought about putting it into the Guild vaults, but then realised said vaults were lined with lead. We considered encasing it in bound earth â€“ and then realised that bound ice would be safer. It is a conundrum.

	Continuing along the corridor, we came to another door which opened into a pleasure chamber. In the boudoir was an awfully beautiful female person. I could not stand to look upon her, and backed off, out of the room. Which left Kerry and Pierre to destroy her. She did have a lot of useful and magical loot, it must be said.

	The witches deactivated the summoning circle we had found by removing the silvery metal, and we debated what to do with the place. I sat up on top of the hill and performed a ritual of recitation, and learned that there was a human tribe living here in ancient times, who buried their chiefs here. It was forgotten until relatively recently when it was found by the Drow, and one of their succubus pets moved in. They left and it stayed. So I asked the spirits what we could do to put the place to rights. They wanted the ancestral bones and artefacts returned to their proper places. So we did our best. We removed all the rubbish from below, and put the bones and such back. Then, we put a big stone across the trapdoor, covered it with dirt, and stamped it down. Then we planted brambles around the tower. This took most of a day even with help from Pierreâ€™s â€œfriendsâ€.

	Next morning we set forth following the river towards its source. We noticed that the river was now visibly contaminated, and a distinct yellow ochre colour, like rivers arenâ€™t normally. It became narrower and faster, and the terrain became rougher. The road became a track, and then petered away to nothing. We realised that we wouldnâ€™t be getting the wagon any further. The horses werenâ€™t keen either. I cast speaking beasts on the lead horse, and learned that the flying things didnâ€™t want us to go any further. Kerry cast witchsight and we could all see them. They wanted to know what we wanted, and we explained that we were investigating what was wrong with the river. They explained that they werenâ€™t happy about it either. Some of their water fey had died. And some others â€“ they were looking for Rufus whom they consider responsible for the murder of several of their kind.

	We parked the wagon and horses among the trees. Then we continued on foot into the fairy glade. We were taken into the presence of their king and queen in their outdoor court. First they dealt with the matter of Rufus, and decided that he would be placed under a geas to do no harm to seelie fae, and be required to spend a year and a day among the fae learning their ways. Then they spoke of the contamination upon the river. They believed it might have been caused by the Drow interfering with some of natural magics and weirdly glowing rocks found up there. There was a very sick fae who had got too close. I tried the healing ritual and it seemed to work better than anything else they had tried thus far. He woke, and was able to explain that he had been near one of the springs, and picked up a glowing rock, which had burned him. He had thought it was merely massicot (yellow lead ore) until it did that. A second ritual and a third brought further improvements in his condition.		We parked the wagon and horses among the trees.
