    We pick back up our story as we all walk into a waygate that Quiven found on her new map.  It said it was a short cut but highly dangerous, but since we were all on a time crunch, we had no choice.  But what we all found on the other side, will linger with us for a long time.  So sit back, relax and enjoy :D
