Tairos, the search.

I searched the camp while we rested but no manasite, except for some small shards that are designed to power specific devices. I've taken one of the smaller devices, and hope to turn it over for study when we get back. I feel like someone should know more about what Black Mark Acquisitions are doing down here. We're setting off for the treeline. The shard should be on the other side.
 
What is causing this infernal humming?? I feel like I should know, but I can't think it's so loud. UGH.
 
Kaldur seems to feel guilty over catching me with that shatter spell. A rookie mistake, but I'll let him think on it for a while. Rib him a bit for it. We'll talk when the mission's over.
 
This area seems more effected by the shard in the short time it's been here than it should. This is worrying.
The spores are alive and magical. Verinar inhaled some, and doesn't seem to be doing well. I'll try to keep an eye on him. He's almost walked into a pit several times. I don't think he's enjoying his first day as a seeker very much. Not that I can blame him, this is a terrible way to start out.
 
Dutroti are adorable and shouldn't be hunted. That is all. Also, the shard has given them a measure of telepathic communication. I will include this in my official report. I hope our help was enough.
 
Blades for arms??? SERIOUSLY??
