SPECIAL REPORT
DRED PASSAGE DISCOVERED
BY BABAJAGA

On day 23 of Winter, 541 was the fabled, long-awaited entrance found on
snīell 32 of the Orga Outback by this crew:

Kojiro, Prince Valiant, Dandelion, Tater, Viper, Thuja, Babajaga,
Deathlord, Haenk, Axell, Noivad, Newton, Nevyn, Yor, Viper, Ashra and
Elenis Reyav with the help of Cronos trough Hatredīs Hollow. (If I have
missed someone please tell me)

It didnīt seem to be "the day we were going to find it" from the start.
Hatredīs Hollow was packed with an assortment of beasties that kept us
occupied for a long time, until we finally got a foothold and could
trap the Hatred, kill the Frenzy and all the other red ones, and move
up to the choke and through that tunnel of bolts. Midway we met the
Hatredīs brother, and we managed to trap even that one with the help of
the Zu masters we had with us.

With Yor leading us, we ran through the least interesting snīells 2 at
a time, and quickly came to the most interesting part of the Orga
Outback for us this day, the upper snīells. We were going to check out
Koricīs theory, and check out some snīells a second time. The lower
snīells had been searched at least 2 times, not so with some of the
upper ones. This was our plan, this was our mission. We had an army of
pathfinders with us, and they bumped and examined every tree on each
snīell.

When Axell yelled: Path! I think I swallowed my tongue or something. We
all rushed to her, and followed a tap root down. And, there it was. A
large cave with vermines, and on the south wall - a ladder. THE ladder.
The ladder that leads to this place we have heard so much about but
never found, until now. Dred Passage.

Hoorays filled the air and the sunstone network, and when it died down
we realized we had just won a great prize. What to do with 20K?
Sunstones of course. For newlings! Brilliant! Even more hoorays, and
then Thuja couldnīt resist the temptation and climbed up the ladder.
Oops. Elenis quickly followed. Another oops, until we got news they had
been teleported to Orga Village by the never-resting Orga Zealots.

We quickly gathered our things and headed for the village to pick up
Thuja and Elenis, but alas - we never got that far. Still a bit dizzy
after all that celebration, and the sweet taste of success, we got a
bit overconfident and forgot out basic teachings, and fell in a heap
somewhere in the outback.

After a quick rendezvous in Purgatory, we met again in Puddleby - that
were completely filled with exiles eager to congratulate us and
themselves for the discovery.

So, now we know where it is. And, we also know where it leads to.
Now.... we just have to practice getting there..
To be continued...

MYSTERIOUS PATHFINDER PASSAGE DISCOVERED
BY PARAMEDIC

I found this new Pathfinder passage.

No one seems to know where it goes, and no one can enter it.

Strangely, the passage seems to be beyond reach.

I go for Penguins

I don't go for fancy cars
For diamond rings
Or movie stars
I go for penguins
Oh Lord I go for penguins

Throw your money out the door
We'll just sit around
And watch it snow
I go for penguins
Oh Lord I go for penguins

Penguins are so sensitive
Penguins are so sensitive
Penguins are so sensitive
To my needs
To my needs
To my needs
To my needs
