 The [[resort]] is a financial success to its owners, and a trendy place for the
 wealthy to visit.  Since winter is considered an off-season by the typical guest
-(who is accustomed to a tropical climat
+(who is accustomed to a tropical climate), the rates are reduced and visitors
+from all walks of life show up.  The subjects of our great story are some of
+these people...
+In the cold, pre-dawn of January 31, 1108, Aramil and Kesi rose earlier than
+usual with a sense that something was out of sorts.  With the rest of the guests
+(and most of the staff) still asleep, they wandered outside to investigate and
+heard a soft &quot;pop&quot; to the north, just beyond the ring of buildings at the center
+of the resort.
+Following the stream that flows through the resort, they headed off to
+investigate.  As there is no natural water source atop the cliff, the stream
+emerges from a magical source created by the wizards who built the place and is
+an vital part of the resort.  Before they made it out of the complex, though,
+they noticed that the water had stopped flowing.
+They spotted the resort's wizard, Ogun, standing on the balcony of the tower and
+waved to him.  He waved back, then returned inside.  Seconds later, the great
+tower shuddered under its own weight and collapsed!
+Though they would not learn this for some time, the calamity that befell the
+resort was caused by a vast, cosmic shift in the elemental energies that had its
+roots in a dramatic battle on a far distant planet - the name of which the group
+does not know - and may never learn.
+The collapsing tower woke everybody up - except Roderick (an extremely sound
+sleeper).  The guests, many still in their night gowns, congregated in the great
+hall and the staff managed to restore order and calm those who had panicked.
+Cahil, the ranger, quickly took charge and coordinated the recovery efforts with
+the subjects of our story (who had proven themselves capable adventurers in
+previous outings).  The group decided they must move down to Chesmu (the Dyana&icirc;
+village) and Cahil sent them down (along with two rangers) to discuss it with
+the chief.  The chief was amenable and the migration began.
+Over the next few days, experiments were carried out by the spellcasters (mainly
+Bigby and Roderick) to determine the effects of the magic change.  Within a
+week, simple spells were conquered and some reassurance was had.
+On February 5th, a ranger patrol spotted some goblins nearby and the decision
+was made to track them down as best they could.  Since the rangers have routine
+patrol pairings and Cahil didn't want to disrupt that, he sent the PC's out as a
+group by themselves.
+On Februrary 6th, the group went out on a day trip.  They encountered six goblin
+soldiers, and a leader riding a Worg.  They succeeded in killing the entire
+group and hiding the bodies fairly effectively.  Dhersion skinned the Worg and
+took its hide back with him.
+XP awarded: 500 each, Running Total: 1,500.  The combat was worth only 1200
+total - which would have been no more than 200 each, but due to the extensive
+non-combat session and the fact that this was the first full session, I awarded
+an extra 300 on general principle.
