==Recap==
=== January 7th, Year 1===
The party gets back to Nyx's cave to get Kael. They see him laying on the ground, Manfred, still holding a candle. Nyx takes the card from Kael's hands and he wakes up, screaming "!". Right after he wakes up, from the shadows in the cave forms a giant crimson-black banded snake with a human-like face on a long head, stringy hair, and a forked purplish tongue. 
Nyx tells the spirit naga to get out of her cave, naga says it was Nyx that summoned her there. Abaddon cast . Kael casts . Naga casts on and Kael and Jun but they manage to resist it. Izual realises that the spirit naga is one of Terrasa's pet. Naga gazes at the party, and everyone expects for Kael and Nyx. Nyx casts on the naga with her card. Izual casts on the naga. 
A very scared naga runs away into the woods. The charmed party members wonder why the naga had to leave so soon. They discuss the snake.
The party and Manfred walk down-river and Abaddon tries to find some cocoa leaves for the gnome Cola and casts . They find cocoa leaves down the waterfall, descend down and gather as much cocoa leaves as they can carry while Izual observes the waterfall. 
Izual sees a female humanoid face, with sparkling green eyes, auburn hair and slightly pointy ears, underneath the water. Izual kneels and offers a hand to help her out of the water, she attempts to kiss them, but Izual stands up. 
She claims this is her river and says she is a nereid, an elemental (later known as Katara). 
Kael is very interested and asks her questions, she answers them, talks about her changing form and elemental planes. She invites the party into the water while Nyx and Abaddon gather leaves. Kael accepts, and nereid asks him to stay with her, he declines, for now.
They camp near the river and discuss what to do next. Abaddon suggests they run away from Malkis, but no-one else agrees. Before they go to sleep, they see the downward-facing comet burst in the sky.
=== January 8th===
In the night, they are awoken by the screams and see a great fire in the village near the river. They come across an arena with a large ogre totem that resembles Izuals bronze mask. Nyx has a nose bleed and seems tired while they walk, and Jun carries her on his shoulders. 
They come across an ogre patrol. Nyx presses one of her cards onto Kael's chest and two arms hug him from his back, as she casts spell on him. Abaddon shouts "Charge!" and the party charges the ogres. After many unsuccessful hits, the party manages to slay one ogre. The other one surrenders in the name of Voraci, but they kill him.
They run down the road towards the village. Kael and Nyx talk about the nightmares he had, his rival named Hagela, and his collage. They spot 12 ogres coming from the village, raveling. They avoid them and continue towards the village. Izual cries for help from Martha. Izual finds an 8th year old girl in the rubble. They find 2 more living people. 
Izual carries the girl the edge of the village and sees a man approach, Malkis.
:Dressed in black and red robes, 5'10", 165 pounds, full head of black hair, robes that float around him, cloak billowing behind him, with a stern look on his face.
Malkis looks and acts in a far more serious & calm way than he had before, almost emotionless. The god of Chaos says the party is needed if they are to defend the valley, and asks of Izual if they are going to run away. Izual hands Malkis the girl and goes back to the village and heals people they found. Malkis tells the party they have free will and can choose their path as they wish. He gives each member of the party advice. Malkis then says it will be a while before the party see him again, but he will be around in spirit. Nyx asks about direct help from the gods, and Malkis alludes to the War of Creation and saying that went poorly, the only way the gods can help is indirectly.
The sun rises, and the party discusses what they are going to do. Seeing Jun's condition didn't improve, Abaddon checks on him again. He sees Jun is suffering from an unnatural illness, it seems as if he is turning to stone. Nyx notices that Jun's domain of earth is growing, and other elements are shrinking. Izual stays in the village and prays, and party goes off.
===January 9th===
Abaddon casts and on Jun, trying to gauge the element imbalance in him. He casts and draws the earth strength from Jun, it works and Jun feels better immediately.
