TAKE X (6-5-17: The End)

> Watch out for the orange puddle.



Yeah, this puddle of... something... is pretty unnerving. You're pretty sure this is the same stuff as what was in the jar you poured out in the hallway. No way is it the same puddle, though. That'd just be bizarre. Who ever heard of a moving puddle?

Anyway, you make sure to keep a good distance from it.

> Examine the map.



You look at the map on the wall. Looks like a normal map - you've got the same one in a book somewhere back home - but for some reason, the Emek Archipelago and Vezretti are circled.

> Check on the person.



You kneel down next to the woman on the cot. Her breathing is slow and she's snoring every now and again. You figure you'll let her sleep - it's generally bad form to start waking people up when you've come to rob them. There's some kind of orange gunge on her - looks like the same stuff as the puddle.

Ick.

You resolve to make absolutely sure you keep your distance from the puddle.

> Collect the papers.



You collect the papers littering the floor. Looks like they go with the loose pages in the book you found. You take a moment to glance through them before sorting them in with the rest.

Those were not only the ancestors of modern humanity - they were the ancestors of most of the sentient beings in Ennen overall. Those who encountered the Crystal found themselves changed - changed into those who we now call olithas, dryads, arbas, nagas, vampires, and, yes, humans, as well as others. This is all well-known.

P.10
What happened next, though, did matter. They turned the olitha into one of them. We still don't quite understand how. For that matter, we're not sure they understood what happened either.

P.11
Thus began their campaign. They began spreading through the world, changing others to become like them. Their purpose and motive are likely never going to be known. They met resistance from the others, but what could the others do against a foe who could avoid all detection, use the most powerful magic, and take the appearance of their family and countrymen?
