| Upon meeting with Telvan the party learn that he needs some help with his latest research but before telling them what it is he needs one final item for his research. For this he sends them to the tomb of a noted alchemist now long dead called Zosimos who was reported buried with his greatest treatise. Despite the lengthy research that Telvan has done on the tomb and the 47 trials contained within it appears the local villagers in the bluepeak mountains just know the tomb as having belonged to an alchemist who's idea of traps was some what too deadly for their tastes. Having fought their way through several waves of flux Homoculi the party arrive in a room which their hired wayfinder Gerald is surprised to tell them is consensus rather than flux. Across the room is an arch filled with black flame with an inscription above, "Three paths embody the art of Alchemy those of Dissolution, Transformation and Purification. Only the pure may proceed further.", In the center of the room are three pedestals upon which rest bowls full of potion. Fortunately Jimmy's alchemical knowledge quickly gets them past this trial and having drunk the potion of purification they step through the flames. To their surprise however they find themselves in a mountain valley of some kind with a clear stream flowing through the middle peach trees in blossom. | Upon meeting with Telvan the party learn that he needs some help with his latest research but before telling them what it is he needs one final item for his research.

| The party next head to retrieve the Hermits bowl. After a long arduous journey through the flux they eventually find the Hermit who appears to be having lunch with several other anomalies. Fortunately as the hermit shuns worldly possessions the Hermit is happy to trade his bowl for a simple one brought from a vendor in Acryn. As the party head back towards Acryn however they are waylaid by a party wearing the livery of what Jimmy recognizes as House Redan. After they are swiftly beaten it emerges that Julio who was Telvan's investor in Margush before he fled has kidnapped Telvan and all of his research. | The party next head to retrieve the Hermits bowl.

After several weeks of effort they have managed to make three batches. Telvan eagerly steps up and tries it first. At first it seems to be working very well as the warehouse around them transforms into a manor house as Telvan gestures. Then however he starts to scream and the shadows around them seem to become solid and attack Telvan and the party in a continual wave. This only ends when Telvan falls to the floor unconscious as the party swiftly pick him up and flee. |
