New Characters:
Altan, Strong Wildland Demon Hunter, from beyond the Circle Sea, where reality slowly degrades. Snake eyes and sharp fangs. Protected by a Gourd fetish with cowrie teeth. Armed with a Neural Whip
Kozue, Wise Elven Moon Mountain Witch, a soothsayer from the Sisters of the Near Moon. Her immaterial singing spirit in a pink bottle aids her in her auguries.

| Kozue |
Ostens threatens to leave the island alone to rescue the Redland Scavengers at the Ferry Graves but Naida reminds him of the standards of the Legion: Reconnoiter, infiltrate, strike! Guided by Swiftstab they cross the islands towards the western cliffs where they scout the swamps of the Ferry Graves. To their horror the place is crawling with gigantic gelatinous monsters and translucent crocodiles.
 |
| Iron Pike |
Kozue and Altan discuss demons and drugs over a herbal brew. Azure, still high on Golden Amber, asks Kozue for a remedy that calms her down enough to perform an oracle.
Naida returns with unpleasant news about a wet and dangerous place. When Kozue asks her about the unusual crystal she takes out the snail and for Kozue the room explodes in blinding light.
Kozue feels the powerful presence of Soba reaching out from inside the snail and sends her fetch to establish a connection. Soba lashes out instinctively and tries to violently pierce Kozue's defence but the witch calmly allows the Ultra to possess her without losing control.

| Soba do Garoba |
When Kozue wakes up the next day she is watched over by the replacement body the caravan acquired at the Satrap outpost. Naida tells her about the purpose of the body (Saffron needs it for Mother) and they decide to visit the Ash-eaters for a volunteer who would be possessed by Soba. Alas, the camp is abandoned; a cold trail leaving deeper into the hills of Old Isle. In order to not lose more time on their rescue mission to save the missing Redlander caravan they hire rowers in Iron Pike and take the canoes to cross the lake. Azure has a vision of a burning herd of various swamp animals. Altan senses a demon.
 |
| Ferry Graves |
On the shores of Ferry Graves they find several vehicles engulfed by the gigantic gelatinous cubes. As they move deeper into the wetlands a fire demon appears. Altan attracts his attention with a crack of his Neural Whip. Soon the two are entangled in a dangerous dance of passion and fire. Altan failing to seduce the demon is surrounded by fire but saved by Kozue's fetch. While Azure and Naida are unloading their guns Soba comes forward and summons a wave that extinguishes the demon's flame.
