	In the middle of a nights slumber I found my familiar dream torn open at the seams. Mortimer guided me to the metaplanes - I faced Dave on the boundary. To be more accurate I faced Dave's face, or what was left of it, as the Dweller took his form. I'm still processing what I learned there, but I'm fairly certain I visit the plane of Spirits of Man, as they are called.

	* The Dweller on the Treshold - I haven't read an account of this being that gets to the truth of what it is. It seems it must be some part cosmic being and some part reflection of yourself along with who knows what else. Though, I suppose a cosmic being could know more about what's in your mind than anyone would be comfortable with without actually being you. Regardless, it prodded at Dave and how I feel about what I did to him. I can't necessarily say that I would have changed anything I did. The pollution needed to be stopped, I didn't have other means to stop it. In hindsight there are always other possibilities, but given the same choice and knowing nothing more, I would have done it again. It worked, in the end, and I'm sorry that he was collateral in that transaction, but sometimes metahuman life isn't the only factor. The single hardest question The Dweller had for me is if I would feel any differently if Dave had been Reth-sa. I would have felt more guilt about ending a souls Path before they were finished.		* The Dweller on the Treshold - I haven't read an account of this being that gets to the truth of what it is.

	* ~~Goblin Creatures~~ - ~~They were Man Spirits~~, ~~but their form resembled small fairy tail Goblins. Exaggerated facial features, small bodies, arms and legs~~ that ~~are thinner than they should be and pot bellies~~. ~~They were roasting a creature on a spit and another was trapped~~. ~~They were ignoring~~ the ~~suffering~~ of the ~~second~~, ~~so I set it free and was able to appease them with reason that they could capture another if they needed~~ and ~~a small offering of food that I had been given at the start of my journey~~.		* Channeling - As I descended a spiral stair to the metaplane, I found that my Guidance Spirit was with me. And then she flowed in to me. For the remainder of the journey, our minds were as one. She lent me her strength and power.

	*		* Goblin Creatures - They were Man Spirits, but their form resembled small fairy tail Goblins. Exaggerated facial features, small bodies, arms and legs that are thinner than they should be and pot bellies. They were roasting a creature on a spit and another was trapped. They were ignoring the suffering of the second, so I set it free and was able to appease them with reason that they could capture another if they needed and a small offering of food that I had been given at the start of my journey. I noticed they were disturbed by my left hand and examining it I found it to look red, as if it were metal made hot. It must be how they recognize me, the reason for their mistrust.

			* Jürgen - When night fell, I found myself seeking shelter in a small cabin. Jürgen was a travelor, like me, though clearly a dwarf and he happened upon my cabin. After cautious introductions, we conversed passed our time amicably. It was not his first time visiting and he had a good sense of the lay of the land, if it can be called that. He was headed for a city across a sea and described a mountain in the direction that I was traveling. I found myself sad to part with him and sadder still that he was not fated to traverse the Paths.

			* Man from Leng - I'm still not certain what this creature was exactly. He was rather spectral even on the metaplane, floating above the ground while the others walked and untouched by the or plants. I gathered that his kind are known to be slavers. I worked to avoid making an enemy of him or giving him too much information, but I found myself unable to rid myself of him with words. Violence was not tested. In the end, he led me up the mountain a ways until I spotted Mortimer. I made my excuses, but the Man from Leng refused to leave us be.

			* Mortimer - The frequent spirit companion of Dave. I believe it was he who marked me. He had a hand in leading me to the Dweller and to the mountain and it seemed that my task was to face him. And so we spoke. What happened to Dave and how he was remembered were foremost on the Spirit's mind. He wasn't fully satisfied with my answers, I couldn't honestly say that I would have done anything differently. However, he was somewhat satisfied at my apology. It was genuine, I have always felt sorrow for what happened to Dave and it certainly wasn't my intention that it happen that way.

	Ten years ago, Mara had an issue with the land she had bonded with. Pollutants from Sumitomo Chemicals had made their way into a small stream that went through her 'domain'. Her solution was to manipulate a city inspector that she was friends with to carry a bomb onto the offending property. The explosives went off as planned, however Dave was caught in the explosion. His constant companion, a Spirit of Man he called Mortimer, was not happy about this and marked her so that all of his kind would know her.

	Skipping to present day, Mara has started working in the shadows and has recently purchased materials for a magical lodge. She's putting the various tomes and objects in place, with the help of a guidance spirit. As the evening winds down, she makes herself comfortable in a chair in the hidden room and eventually falls asleep.

			Mara floats through the same shallow that Mortimer used and knowing the lay of the land is able to find her way back to her home and body. She re-enters her body and wakes to converse with Guidance briefly. The two seem even more connected now after the experience as Mara has now learned to channel spirits.

	Mara approaches Mortimer, letting him know that she's there.		Mara approaches Mortimer, letting him know that she's there. The two talk, and it's clear that he's still upset about what she did to Dave. She expresses that she didn't want that to happen, but at the same time, she wouldn't necessarily change anything about what she did. Finally, though, she does apologize for killing Dave.

			Mortimer acknowledges the apology, though it doesn't appear to be good enough yet. While this is happening the Man from Leng is inching closer. Red spectral chains appearing in his hand as he gives Mara a conspiratorial look. Instead of helping the slaver, she tells Mortimer to go and he slips through a shallow overlooking Seattle from Mount Rainier.

			This leaves her with an angry slaver spirit. Playing up the weapon on her belt she's able to convince him that they would both be better off if they go their separate ways.
