Running through the unfamiliar gorge in the dark — not as easy as it sounds! We didn't even get to the rock behind which the cultist had disappeared, before two men in our party had already tripped over loose stones and fell to the ground with a crash! In the tales of every hero there are always a few... or sometimes many... pages worth tearing off and setting on fire... might this be one of them? Be what may, when we reached the place where we'd last seen the cultist, he had vanished. It seemed there was nothing left for us to do except go to the edge of the plateau and see if we could spot our quarry.
