Day 173, Year 544 of the Ascendancy

There was an expedition to the Ethereal Plane earlier today, which
unfortunately ended in a massacre and a mass depart. The expedition to
the Ethereal Plane was formed in response to a recent talk with
Tenebrion, in which the necromancer revealed that several ethereal
bubbles were forming on the plane, which he recommended our mystics
investigate. We also wished to search Sombrion’s Keep for potential
illusions leading to a kyeum room. Unfortunately, we were unable to
accomplish any of these goals, because we were overwhelmed by the
undine and the denizens of the Ethereal Plane, almost as soon as we
entered our Ethereal Portal. We managed to set up a fort of bodies for
a while, but it soon broke down under the pressure from all the
monsters. Several exiles made desparate chain runs for the tower, but
they were felled as well.

After everyone was fallen, a bunch of us departed,
and attempted to make a rescue/chain attempt, but just ended up
departing for a second time. With all hope gone, the rest of us
departed from the Ethereal Plane… only to find that in the wake of
our departs, we had created four Ethereal Bubbles in Purgatory. These
bubbles eventually dissipated, but for a short while, departing was a
very risky businees. So ended our rather brief expedition to the
Ethereal Plane. The Journeyman Neige did manage to get a few readings
of the Ethereal Plane while he was there, but as he put it, the
readings were rather “mild.” Hopefully our next expedition will be more
successful, and we will be able to learn more of the mysterious secrets
of the Ethereal Plane.
