 On the first night, [[Kendric]] brought all the so-far gathered heroes and told them of "the rift" and of the ancient order of magi who had once studied them. [[Morigan]], [[Thorne]], [[Artemisa]], [[Zi]], [[Hangman]], [[Scritta]], and [[Gurp Gorp]] were able to find and recover the remaining pieces of lore (though Thorne was cursed in the process).
-That night, the group had to fend off thieving shadows that were trying to steal stockpiled potions.
+That night, to strengthen the ties of reality, the most ancient of magics, stories, were shared amongst the assembled heroes, ranging from gods to the exploits of individuals.
 ===Day Two===
-The second day began with brave [[Thorne]] and mighty [[Gurp Gorp]]'s quest to deliver powerful relics to '''the rift'''. They pushed through waves of demons that grew ever more powerful, bringing relic after relic safely through with them.  The massively outnumbered duo ran out of time on the final delivery, a chest of potions.

-Next a large group of heroes fought to defend the rift from waves of lesser demons. Amid these waves of lesser spawn, mighty greater demons periodically stormed the twin castles built astride the rift. The assembled heroes held the twin castles, and repelled the demons with such vigor that they were able to recover the lost chest of potions abandoned on the supply run.

 [[Morigan]] and [[Scritta]] undertook the quest of the Magi; arcane rituals designed to weaken the greatest of the demons that led the invasion. The two heroes accomplished two rituals swiftly, incinerating a massive regenerating slime beast and running gauntlets of vile-spewing sandworms, then completing arcane rituals while under constant assault. Sadly, out of spell points the pair were unable to complete the remaining two rituals and soon joined the assaults on the demon lords themselves.
