People
Merchants, witnesses & a successor

Beyond the field record
What the city left us.
Wellfast is dead. The colony is loose. Follow the people, discoveries, and unfinished business of August 26 through the living archive.
Places
The city behind the gates
Explore the bazaar and lift, the pub and brewery, and Wellfast’s black chamber with its white bear rug and hidden cache.
Bestiary
A ruler beneath the skin
The gibber-slug controller is dead, but its young escaped. A purple mushroom is an untested lead. Above the bazaar, trained steeders carry the guard patrols.
Artifacts
Souvenirs & unanswered locks
Rocky still awaits moonlight. Tavian’s stone remains ordinary. Wellfast’s chest remains unopened; the red-sapphire rod is not a confirmed gate component.
Spells
Stone skin. Uncertain protection.
Ert’s Stone Skin kept the burrowing slugs out. Feardim’s Demonic Defense is now with Rurik, but its protection against this infestation has not been tested.
The company
Five travelers, changed again
Ert freed eleven goblins. Kip gained Rocky. Torrin killed the controller. Tavian exposed it. Rurik uncovered its next destination.
