+=== Details: ===
+== I. Clean up loose ends before departure ==
+A lot needs to be done before the group can leave the village.
+However, much of this stuff is mundane and won't be worth going
+over during the game session.  It should be sufficient to poll the
+players to see what kind of "unusual" items they want to bring
+along.  If they can justify that this item was already in their
+possession then nothing special need be done.  However, if it must
+be made, then allow for the time and effort!  The players will be
+given a lot of leeway in getting equipped, but there is a limit to
+the resources of the resort and native village!
+On the hope of being able to locate the party via scrying magics,
+several amulets will be made out of pieces of gravel from the
+collapsed tower.  Each will be about the size of a standard d20,
+will have a hole drilled completely through, and be placed on a
+simple leather strap.
+== II. Set out with guide toward Brishen ==
+A note about overland movement rates.  Assuming everyone has a base
+movement speed of 30' and is at least medium encumbered, the actual
+movement will be 20'.  This corresponds to 16 miles per day, or 8
+miles if the party has to live off the land.
+Basir will loan the party Wunand, a young guide to take them to
+Brishen, a village slightly larger than Chesmu.  It is about 25 miles
+away, making the trip more than a full day's walk (especially since
+the group isn't accustomed to overland treks and will presumably
+have to break their equipment in).
+Wunand will provide no combat capabilities, but does know the route
+well.  In addition, he can offer some last-minute language help as
+he is fairly bright and inquisitive.
+== III. Encounter #1 ==
+Owlbear (48 hp, p.148) - attacks just after sunset.
+== IV. Arrive Brishen ==
+Wunand will go only this far.  He has no interest in continuing
+with the party.  In addition, the natives in Brishen are noticeably
+less friendly than those in Chesmu.
+== V. Encounter #2 ==
+[[Roget]]'s Everfull water flask will suddenly and dramatically begin
+to overflow.  The water will gush out of it at a dramatic rate and
+quickly form into a medium water elemental (25 hp, p.84).  Hot on
+its heels is a Medium Shadow Elemental (6d8+20, 46 hp, stats below)
+     Shadow Elemental, Medium
+     HD: 6d8+20
+     Init: +3 (Dex)
+     Speed: 40 feet
+     AC: 16 (+0 Size, +3 Dex, +3 Natural)
+     Attacks: Slam +6 melee
+     Damage: 1d8+4
+     Special Attacks: Shadow mastery
+     Everything else: Same as Medium Water Elemental
+Water is being pursued by Shadow and in a desperate attempt to save
+it's own life has escaped to the material plane through the first
+portal it found: [[Roget]]'s flask.  Neither Elemental will pay much
+attention to the party as they are focused on each other.  If the
+flask is destroyed, neither will have a way home.  (Note that the
+Everfull wine flask would suffice to return them home, but they
+don't necessarily know about it - and neither are clever enough to
+figure it out).
+Whichever elemental wins the fight will immediately try to return
+home.  If that is impossible, they will attack the party - unless
+the party assisted him against the other.  In that case, the
+elemental will disappear into the wilderness in a manner befitting
+its element - perhaps to return some other day.
+It is doubtful that much information will be directly gleaned from
+this encounter - since neither elemental is very talkative, nor can
+the party speak to it if they wanted.  However, this much might be
+deduced: Shadow is taking over Water (and the other elements) and
+the surviving elements are nearly routed.
