Siroo opens his mouth to speak, pauses, then shrugs and begins to walk away. As he does, a dim glow begins to form in the distance, quickly rising in intensity until it's almost as bright as a noonday sun. The shaman waves at you, then excitedly points to the south. “There it is!” he cries. “That strange light I told you about.” Now all but blinding to look at, the light pours down from a distant bluff. “It’s always in the same location,” continues Siroo, “and it looks brightest on sunny days. We still have no idea what it is - most of the scouts we have sent out to investigate it have failed to return, and no one wants to risk heading into the jungle anymore because of those humanoids that have been sighted.” A smoky scent begins to permeate the air, and suddenly someone cries, “Fire! Fire!” People begin rushing to the scene, and it’s soon clear that the shaman's hut is ablaze. Out of the confusion, a fire brigade is quickly organized to battle the flames, but it doesn't look good.
