At 10,000 feet, with the effects of altitude quite noticeable to all, the expedition follows the Kali Gandaki to the town of Kag. Kag looks like a fortress perched on a cliff, its houses built together, surrounding a central square.

	In the monastery at Kag, where Pemba has arranged for the Europeans to sleep for the night, a monk gives [[Umberto]] a book which proves to be [[Carlo Schippone]]'s diary ([http://~~unboundbook~~.~~org/wiki~~/images/f/f3/29_Carlo_Schippones_Diary_1.pdf Part 1],[http://~~unboundbook~~.~~org/wiki~~/images/d/d9/29_Carlo_Schippones_Diary_2.pdf Part 2],[http://~~unboundbook~~.~~org/wiki~~/images/4/4d/29_Carlo_Schippones_Diary_3.pdf Part 3],[http://~~unboundbook~~.~~org/wiki~~/images/1/17/30_Carlo_Schippones_Diary_1a.pdf Translation Part 1], [http://~~unboundbook~~.~~org/wiki~~/images/c/c9/30_Carlo_Schippones_Diary_2.pdf Translation Part 2]), which was brought here from the monastery at Te many weeks ago.

	[[Umberto]] reads the diary and tells the tale of the Italian expedition - the use of sorcery to cloud the mind of Major [[Ricardo Delnegro]] - encounters with creatures called 'the Tsotowa' - the religious fervour slowly changing to fear, terror and madness - and in the end Schippone's scribbled ravings about '[[Miri Nigri]]', 'The White Acolyte', murder, blood and monsters. It ends with the phrase 'What have I done?' scrawled over and over again.

	In early afternoon the final ridge is crested and before the investigators lies the astonishing sight of the cliffs of [[Drakmar]]. A plain scattered with fallen [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorten chortens] lies between them and a great expense of red-stained cliffs. The cliffs are riddled with dozens of apparently man-made caves.		In early afternoon the final ridge is crested and before the investigators lies the astonishing sight of the cliffs of [[Drakmar]].
