Escape! (funny that's spelled the same way as escape...)

Presented with few other options and having exhausted their efforts at intellego, our Magi descend.
And find themselves confronted by an oddly familiar chasm though it has widened considerably. Yvonne shrugs and creates her wind bridge which immediately cracks in the middle and disappears from sight. Hijinks ensue. Calvin instructs a gremlin to leap the chasm. The gremlin does not make it. Calvin instructs a gremlin to throw Jen over the chasm. Jen does not make it. Yvonne and Calvin use magic to mitigate the effects of the fall upon Jen. Calvin attempts to climb down the chasm and upon falling finds himself looping… Yvonne waves as he keeps falling past her from the ceiling thru the chasm. Jen accepts some tea from the gremlinses… and then realises she is eating fae food. Jen is now addicted to tea. When Calvin resets to the edge of the chasm, Jen does too. Jen promptly dives off the ledge in search of more tea. Yvonne and Calvin do nothing to mitigate the effects of the fall. A voice interrupts the argument between Calvin and Yvonne. It is quickly established that a magical creature known only as the platypus is bound here and as the Magi are amusing, it will not let them leave. Negotiations result in Calvin setting free the magical being with the promise that it will not harm them or others unless they agree to it. It is also agreed that the Magi will return in a year’s time to play with it again for which they will be rewarded. Finally escape is achieved and the long journey back to the covenant begins. Virida runs off. Calvin, Yvonne and a badly injured Jen run into Alciver on the road. Sweet boy that he is Alciver creates a house for Jen to recuperate in and leaves one of the covenant’s grogs to watch over him in his convalescence.
