16:	NNW. Lunch at Obmesim -- a Melkini oasis. Discuss area.
17:	Great Desert. On the second watch a portal appears by Fulligar and 3 demons emerge. One shouts a lot and moves in to attack Akraan. The other two pick up the Gorilla up and toss him thru the portal. One of the two demons retreats thru the portal but the other is killed. Another demon comes thru claiming to be a messenger. There's a stand-off. The demon attacking Ak is killed. When messenger has our undivided attention he says "If you want to see your friend again, follow me." We head E with demon.

21:	On 1st watch the sleepers have an excursion (Gif, Trevok, Willos, Everhard, Quarter, Rodick and Ak) All are 6' tall in a 6' high room, one door. Rodick opens door, Demon 1: Ak attacks demon with whip behind door. Ak disappears when hit by whip. Rodick takes over, killing demon. Demon 2: Thru the next door is another demon who pulls his ears, raises a leg, and slaps his thigh before disappearing. Demon 3: Next room, attacks Rod who disappears. Gif takes over and kills the demon. Demon 4: Next room, holds five fingers up in an offensive gesture (?) and disappears. Demon 5: Big demon. Takes loads of damage from Gif before disappearing. Demon 6: Mimes climbing a rope with just hands (?) before disappearing. Demon 7: Even bigger demon, Willos moves alongside Gif in attacking it. Willos fumbles on his first thrust and breaks his javelin. Trevok passes him his. Gif and Willos trash demon. Demon 8: Puts his hands on his hips and looks mournful. And then disappears. After fighters being hasted, to no noticeable effect, the party head into next room. Which contains a round table with 3 porcelain figurines -- one is of a ship on the sea with title "A Ship on the Sea", two is a person drinking titled "This Tea Tastes like Pee", 3 is a quay side with 5 boxes on it titled "Crates on the Quay". Quarter picks up "tea", Trevok holds "sea", Ever has "quay". No idea what to do. Quarter mashes "tea"... Akraan wakes up, then Rod. Eventually everyone is awake. Demon disappears. Vultures on horizon. One peels of aiming at party. He we go again. Delayed Blast Fireball (DBF) launched from vulture, which blows up 4 camels, the camel herder, Ak and John hit. MM's at it from Erk and Ever. Next vulture receives a Concussion Bolt from Gif. Doesn't stop it doing Rock to Mud -- Ak, Trev and Gif hit by it, 6 camels dead. Ak and Trev go ethereal! Next vulture, Chain Lightning!! Takes out Adam. By the end we have 18 camels left and no party deaths. We retreat W tracking and navigating. Rest for the rest of the night.
