The party, having made the delivery last episode, the party travel back to Sinteron. Ignatious has lost much of his mental facilities after his near-death experience and has retired from adventuring.
Enrico returned to his hut and studies the magical bronze rod he obtained in Solstace. He meditates also out in the jungle as well, trying to find the best place to commune with the other-worldly power connected with the rod. Sinteron is rich with lifeforce.
Enrico wants to do a rest to unleash the power of the magical rod, and asks Vire to come along in case things go wrong. The go out a couple of minutes 10 minutes from Sinteron into the jungle for privacy. They find a flat area to make the attempt. As Enrico tries to find the best spot, Vire sense the party are not alone, and spots a pair of tea-plate sized eyes looking at him. Realising it has been spotted, the eyes moves away. Vire gets the feeling that they are surrounded. Vire hears around a dozen creatures.
Vire warns Enrico that they should leave. Enrico doesn't want this chance to get by him so refuses and calls out to the hidden ambushers, and warns them to stay back as his is about to engage in some powerful summoning magic. There is just silence.
Enrico makes a magical circle in the ground. Once the magical circle is complete Enrico stands in the centre and Vire stands on the outside. Enrico begins to chant as Vire stands guards from the dangers of the jungle. After a minute a portal opens. Enrico reaches into the portal to try to reach out for power. He grabs hold of something on the other side, a creature with oily skin. The demon walks out of the portal. Vire gets spooked and attacks the demon.
Enrico calls out the name of the demon and hears a strange language in return. Vire hits the demon, killing it with his warhammer. Vire doesn't fully understand the situation and urges Enrico to flee with him. The dozen creatures that had been watching the party also flee.
Vire and Encrico however run into an Troll. Vire and Encrico flee at top speed. After some time they reach the safety of Sinteron.
===Safety===
Vire and Encrico get back to Sinteron. Encrico invites Vire inside his hut. Encrico finally explains what is going on to Vire. The magical rod stores magic and can release it later on. Encrico warns Vire of powerful magical entiries in the jungles that would be drawn to the spell that was cast from the rod.
For the next few days Encrico goes to find a magic user in town. He comes across an elderly seer who will read his omen for a gold. Encrico agrees to the transaction. Encrico's first question to her is a test; he asks if the seer can seen what his goals are.
The seer see great and dangerous power in Encrico's future and tries to sell a magical charm to him for 10 gold. Encrico feels this is far too cheap for real magic and feels the seer is a mere fraud. Encrico says he'll be back tomorrow if he can't find a more powerful diviner and seeks out Vire, who is drunk at a bar.
