Fundin and CJ Parker sent TMN the following announcement:

"The group of exiles who successfully breached areas up to and including Pitch Cave 1 to 5 (as named by them) have located another 4 caves and a second mystic teleportation booster. We have also located where we suspect the legendary second pathfinder book lies and a cavern so full of arachnoids we have so far been unable to penetrate it!

"You can read about in Azriel's Foothills Expedition Reports For the Pitch Assault Group. Currently we are in the process of exploring these areas, and when we have more news it will be made public. You can read about our trips each week in Azriel's diaries, as we will be making these available to everyone from now on. Azriel will post each week.

"Please be aware that these trips are still privately organized and are by invitation only; we still aren’t proficient enough to allow guests or new members. However, I do keep my eyes open, and in the future we might look for more members. There's also a certain aspect of this area that only allows us to bring a certain amount of people past a certain point. So group size for each trip has to be kept under a certain level or else people have to be left behind (probably to fall and depart). We have no control over this.

"When we make sufficient breakthroughs in these Pitch Cave areas and learn the secrets behind them, then the possibility of guests on trips may arise, and maps may become available. When we have something worth showing we will do so!

"You can read more about my own thoughts on how I formed this group at http://fundin.puddleby.info/pitch_caves.html."
