After a long battle to clear the Sapphire sector, we<br \/>\nbegan luring monsters out of the Ruby sector, in preparation for our<br \/>\ninvestigation.<\/p>\n<p>This is when we began to notice some strange phenomena. At one<br \/>\npoint, J&#8217;nder began to glow blue, and she told us that she sensed a<br \/>\nrush of ether flowing into Puddleby, similar to what was felt by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.free-conversant.com\/lundar\/index\/2002\/11\/16\" target=\"_new\">party that discovered Tenebrion<\/a>.  The apprentice mystic Laiy noted that ether levels were out of control.<\/p>\n<p>\nOnce we entered the Ruby sector, we noticed even more disturbances.<br \/>\nAlmost from the moment we entered the Ruby sector, we all felt<br \/>\nsomething strange and uncomfortable. There was also a chill about the<br \/>\nair, that none of our cloaks could keep out.<\/p>\n<p>As we explored deeper into the Ruby sector, we happened across<br \/>\na lost soul. The creature seemed mindless, or perhaps single minded,<br \/>\nand did not seem to notice the presence of our party at all.<\/p>\n<p>The creature kept on repeating the words &#8220;Pur&#8221; and &#8220;tory&#8221; to<br \/>\nitself, and we believe that it was seeking a way into Purgatory. Some<br \/>\neven believed it to be Tenebrion&#8217;s lost soul. We tried to communicate<br \/>\nwith the soul for a while, but it did not respond to any of our<br \/>\nqueries, and we soon began our journey back to our own plane, to report<br \/>\nour findings to Melabrion.<\/p>\n<p>Inside Melabrion&#8217;s Keep, we told the wizard of our findings in<br \/>\nthe Ruby sector. Melabrion did not believe that the lost soul that we<br \/>\nfound belonged to his brother Tenebrion, though he did not know of its<br \/>\nidentity either. He was, however, very disturbed by our reports of the<br \/>\ncold and the ether flowing into Purgatory.<\/p>\n<p>Melabrion then left us, suggesting that we investigate the<br \/>\nEthereal Plane again at a latter date. I agree that there should be<br \/>\nfurther investigations, perhaps with the aid of Callia, Drablak, and<br \/>\nour other top ethereal scholars.
