We continued our fight with the negative emotions. The group really did a good job at trying to keep them off me and Siona while we focused on trying to keep our immortal tree friend calm. Crestin was locked out pretty good due to the force cage and just started meditating. After a few rounds in combat he turned into stone, which was odd. We eventually killed off the manifestations of the negative emotions and conquered the first part of the trial. Crestin remained stone until Rahlak and Norhm went into the elemental chaos to retrieve him. I have feelings about that, but this isn't the time or place for it. We rested and talked a bit and the next morning we made our way into the deep vault where we encounter some nasty looking Slaads. Next round, it appears.
