Quest Summary:
The party was sent to investigate one of several recent meterostrikes on the planet, this one to the north of Avalon City, in the woody hills there. They discovered a crater with glowing slime trails leading away from it, as well as a path of dark corruption, as something seemed to be tainting the landscape as it passed before the two slimey things. As they decided to track the slime trails, they were attacked by a pair of corrupted gelatinous cubes, tainted by the twisted power of the Other Realm of the kaorti. When they'd defeated the creatures, they discovered strange glowing rocks inside of them, objects from the Other Realm filled with raw and unstable magical energy. The party then chased after the tain elemental that the kaorti had sent to corrupt the area so that they would have a good place to set up a base, and defeated it, delaying the kaorti on that front. However, in the process, the party was exposed to corruption from the madness realm, changing some of them. This was a willing danger that they took.
