Adolphus flipped a few more switches and muttered a quick prayer before hauling on the controls with all of his might.  Slowly the ship began to level out, but not before smashing through the treetops, sending leaves, limbs and flocks of birds scattering into the purple sky.  The skimmer wobbled wildly as Adolphus looked for a clearing, but when he finally found one and brought the vehicle down, the landing was relatively smooth.

The side panel of the skimmer dropped open a little while later and Adolphus, fully equipped with adventuring gear, stepped out onto the short set of steps and looked around at the surrounding jungle.  Consulting his handheld think-machine, he confirmed his suspicions.  He was miles away from the site of the Gargoyle.
