Dear Gilra,
The magic users are once again preparing their spells, so I have some time to write about what happened after the wedding.
Like I mentioned before, the locals had directed us into the forests to the west, where a reclusive druid might help us find some more answers to this all encompassing fog and the Tenzekil who seems to have caused it. So off we went, into the forest to the west, hoping that the druid would show themselves to us.
By nightfall however, we were still walking without success, and as we were deciding where to stop for the night a distressed dryad appeared, she quickly introduced herself as Breena and urged us to rush to her sisters aid, as she had just been captured by some sinister spriggans.
As we snuck closer to where Breena directed us, we saw four spriggan around a big fire, with Breena's sister Fira and an unicorn lying tied up nearby. As one of the spriggans threw the dryad into the fire, we knew we had no time to loose and we all rushed in. At first Gnomy and Worf focused on getting the dryad out of the fire while the rest of us tried to take down the four spriggan's, however before the dryad could be rescued out of the fire, the unicorn was thrown in too, and it became an all out grapple and slice fest. In the end we did defeat the spriggan and get the dryad and unicorn to safety before they were to heavily singed, so I'm calling it a great success.
As an extra bonus, the dryad Fira and unicorn Palombier told us where the druid Devarre lived, how his home and the surrounding area was hidden by a glimmer and how to counter it's effect.
So by the next morning we headed for the druid's home, which appeared to be on a small hill. Unsure how Devarre would react to us we sneaked on the approach, discovering some strange boulders with magical looking symbols on them before finally finding a eerily quiet home. Once we entered that we found a confused looking Devarre, who didn't seem all too pleased that we had come to visit. Since he was acting verry strange for a druid, we thought something was wrong and we decided to overpower him.
So as some of us were inside the house trying to grapple and pin down the druid, some of us were outside looking for possible causes to the druid's strange behavior while Manon managed to fall into a pit trap where a wolf's corpse was already rotting, only adding to our distrust of Devarre's behaviour. Eventually we did manage to immobilize Devarre and as we did, some strange, small creature seemed to seperate from him and fly outside and out of sight before any of us could react.
Devarre, who suddenly looked allot calmer and exhausted, explained that he had been possessed some time ago, and that whatever possessed him had forced him to kill his own companion and do other unspeakable deeds. As he was telling this, we could see him become more and more distraught, as the memories of what he had done returned in full force, so we were not surprised when he told us to ask our questions and then leave him, so he could meditate and pray about what he had done and how to redeem himself.
So we explained about our mission and in return he told us about the Deadman's drop waterfall nearby, from where he thought the magical mist originated.
Off we went again, towards the Deadman's drop, but that tale will be for later, as my companions have once again finished their meditation, and more adventure awaits.
Until soon,
Maruk

tl;dr: Set out west from wedding to find reclusive druid, encounter dryad Breena who tells of her sister dryad Fira and unicorn Palombier being sacrificed against their will, saving them gives us info on druid Devarre's location. On finding Devarre he seems possessed, after freeing him from possession, he tells us the fog emanates from Deadman's drop waterfall north from there.
