Haeraan clarifies that is it Barrin and not Prince Rylec who has the
amulet of Haeraan's order.
Alynna sets the Omni-weapon to +15OB, +10 RRM, and +5RRC.
Oathar investigates the theft of his evil order's Book of Talaus. The
leading candidate is Andraax. It's likely kept right there at Nomikos.
Only the Head Librarian can let people into the artifact collection.
Magister Kalendris should be available in a month. We could probably
speed that up for 10,000 Gold.

Haeraan asks for some more dreams: ("it" is the event we're being warned
about in the dream about the Ark of Worlds)
1) Can it be averted?
2) What should we do to prepare for it?
3) To whose advantage is it?
The five of us are standing at the top of a hill, and it's winter. We're
dressed in odd skin-tight uniforms. There's a strange yellow metal
shaped tube-like thing with stubby fins. We push it, it starts sliding
down, and we all pile in, and we start whooshing through this tube of
ice. We realize that the important thing is to hang on tight and not
fall off. As we rush along, we reach the Finish Line. Suddenly, this
big orange barrier pops up in front of us. We note once again that it's
important not to fall out. We scream and panic, and just as we hit the
barrier, we reach out our hands in supplication, and then we're back
at the top again. And we go zooming down again. We think we might be
better this time, and we (maybe) get to the finish line before the barrier
pops up.

We decide to get back to the Iron Wind. We teleport back to Kelfour's
Landing. We get a Navigator (a crotchety Pathmaster of Hulgan) and pay
him 1500gp to teleport us to the next undead haven. (Subsidairy station.)
We're in a small northern valley. There is a stream running through it,
passing a small cave down in the valley. As we get down there, we notice
that the stream heads into the cave. That's suspicious, but Det Enemies
(Undead) doesn't reveal anything.
After several tracking fiascos near the cave mouth, we head in looking
for undead. Or Trains. Inside is a large cavern that has been flattened
out. There are weird metal frameworks, and crates, and the like here.
Oathar opens some crates: one is empty, a couple have a large metal pieces
in them. Some more are empty. One explodes in Oathar's face. Damn Elven
Splodey powder. The rest of the crates contain junk. The strange metal
parts were made at the central ritual site, a couple of months ago, made
by the undead. Haeraan does vision behind and sees a big metal train and
a door opens and a bunch of iron wind get in and go back out the way we
came in.
Kyrik notices a hole at the bottom of the pool. Kyrik scouts. He finds
a long tube down with a bunch of handholds and the like down here. It eventually
pops up in a pool elsewhere. Kyrik gets shelled a little. He teleports
back up to us.
Then we teleport Haeraan in. He gets shot a bunch, but his morningstar
of aegis defense deflects everything. Then Kyrik and Alynna get teleported
in. Fighting commences. Then Oathar and Imre teleport in. More fighting.
There appear to be six of them in here. We mostly take them. Anyone that
is not engaged gets to shoot splodey bombs. Oathar lightning bolts the
last two jsut as they start their "protocol"...
