	In the fourth cycle of Jena Year 2550, an outbreak of [[Goo]] and an infestation of Goo-contaminated [[Gibbaï]] overran much of the southern [[Verdant Heights]], making it as far as the borders of the Matis towns [[Davae]] and [[Avalae]]. This outbreak turned out to be artificially created by an invasion force of [[Marauders]] working together with the [[Darkening Sap]] tribe.

 It was in the last days of that cycle's summer that travellers coming from the [[Lakelands]] noticed the first unusual gatherings of Gibbaï in [[Heretics Hovel]] and southeastern [[Fleeting Garden]]. Though it did not seem to be anything more than unusually large numbers of Gibbaï at the time, some homins decided to investigate further.

 Meanwhile scouts continued to observe how the Goo contaminations moved further and further northwards, spreading through the southern [[Fleeting Garden]], driving the herds of Gibbaï in front of it.

-As the homins of the [[Verdant Heights]] awaited the announced meeting, the Goo contaminations made it all the way north to the crossroads between [[Davae]] and [[Avalae]]. Scouts discovered that the Marauders and their Darkening Sap allies had followed in the trail of the Gibbaï infestation by setting up a camp in [[Fleeting Garden]], while further south the Goo seemed to be causing the infested Gibbaï to evolve into stronger mutations than had been witnessed before. Some homins took it upon themselves to start culling the infested Gibbaï, but generally made little headway.

 Once she had finished making 25 vials of the control potion, [[Zaero Stachini]] met again with all interested volunteers in front of the Yrkanis Conservatory. It was quickly decided that one of the potions should first be tested on the nearest Goo eruption; the one near the crossroads in southern [[Majestic Garden]]. The assembled army of volunteers escorted the anthropologist there and made short work of the infected [[Gibbaï]] surrounding the eruption. Once the potion was poured onto the Goo, it visibly weakened, allowing the homins to destroy it completely using their normal weapons and elemental magics.

 The potions' effectiveness now demonstrated, the army moved from Goo spot to Goo spot, wiping out infected Gibbaï and cleansing the forests of the Goo contamination. They had little difficulty, except when they passed the Marauder encampment in [[Fleeting Garden]] and decided to wipe them out in the process; the [[Marauders]] repelled the attack and scattered the army, which needed some time to reassemble before they decided to ignore the camp for now and focus on clearing the forest of Goo.
 This scenario almost repeated itself when they encountered the [[Darkening Sap]] encampment in [[Upper Bog]]. Assuming them to be an easier battle than Marauders, the army attacked the camp and was once again defeated, but was able to retreat more organised this time.

-For the rest of the day, they proceeded to clear out all Goo contaminations they encountered. By the time they had cleansed Upper Bog of Goo and were moving back into Fleeting Garden, the homins were wearing down and the battles with the infested Gibbaï were becoming more difficult. Fortunately they were reinforced again with fresh arrivals in Fleeting Garden, and were able to continue their work into [[Heretics Hovel]] until they reached a new problem: Their supply of potions ran out.

 Clearly the homins had underestimated the amount of Goo infestations. They had cleansed out all but the most eastern strip of forest, but Goo contaminations yet remained in Kami Circle and Folly Plain. After quick deliberation it was decided that perhaps those responsible for the Goo infestations might keep some potions around just in case, and they would have to be 'retrieved' from them. Thus the army returned to the Marauder camp in Fleeting Garden where they had previously been defeated.
 === Battle against the Marauders ===
 Organising itself carefully to lay siege this time, after repeated skirmishes the army managed to wipe out the Marauder camp, and did indeed find some potions lying around. They proceeded to march on both the Marauder and Darkening Sap encampments in [[Upper Bog]] and wiped them both out in the same way with little trouble, finding a few potions in each camp. With these potions, the Kami Circle was then cleansed of the Goo eruptions.

 A meeting between [[Zaero Stachini]], Royal Anthropologist, and all interested parties was held at the conservatory in [[Yrkanis]]. It was revealed that a torn note (above) was found near the Arena and that the Royal Anthropologist wished us to investigate the area to see if any more clues could be found. The search commenced and soon five pieces of parchment were found bringing more light to the mystery of the sudden Goo eruptions and the startling rise in the Gibbaï population in the south of Verdant Heights.
-The five pieces of parchment seemed to imply that a certain potion had the ability to weaken the goo eruptions, luckily the recipe for this concoction had been scribbled down on two of the parchment pieces. The search party reconvened around Zaero Stachini, where she asked the large group to be split up and to go find the various materials needed to make the potion.

The search party reconvened around Zaero Stachini, where she asked the large group to be split up and to go find the various materials needed to make the potion. The gathered homins estimated that at most 25 Goo mounds existed throughout the forest, thus enough materials would have to be gathered to create 25 specimens of the potion.
 Part 1 of this event concluded with the various groups returning to the conservatory to hand in all the materials they had found. The Matisian anthropologist immediately began work on the potions thereafter.
