If you’ve completed Return to Base Camp (Silaro Mako):

You are awoken by a strange phenomenon. Looking up, you see streams of golden light, like fast running, winding rivers, chasing each other over the low ceiling of looming rock. You sit up and see that the lights run on into a larger cavern and beyond, illuminating the area around you. The moisture on the rock glitters in the light, and you can easily see your path laid out before you.

Along the way and within reach are illuminated for the first round. Add 1 to the location.

If you’re on Return to Base Camp (Silaro Mako):

You wake to the smell of a delicious aroma and find Silaro cooking mushrooms in a small pan over a low fire burning with a purple flame. “You’re welcome to some mushrooms,” he says. “For my part, I’m ready to eat something a little less … fungal … for my next meal.” He puts his hands on his hips. “I tell you what. You can keep exploring, but I should really get back to the Chimney. I promise you I won’t get into any more trouble. Meet me there when you can!”

Otherwise:

You are awoken by a sudden flash of light. You sit up with a start and find Kal Iver sitting cross-legged at the foot of your sleeping bag, shining the light of a lambance rig in your direction. You shield your eyes and squint.

“Another day dawns,” he says. “At least, I think it’s dawn. I’m beginning to lose track.” He sets down the lambance rig. “Speaking of losing track, I thought you’d like to know that Silaro wandered back to base camp yesterday, bruised, bloodied, but none the worse for wear. He’s all abuzz about some discovery or another. You should stop and speak with him if you can spare the time. Until we meet again!”
