The old portal:
We made a quick search of Helmut's tower, but he must have liquidated most everything he had in is war against us. We found a nice coffee table book and some unusual origami, but we were generally disappointed. There was an old portal in the tower, but it wasn't much use to us, either. Helmut's notes said that he was sure there was some sort of treasure on the other side, but none of his minions managed to find anything. We passed though, but the only thing on the other side was an endless sea of scorching sand. Maybe if we get our hands on some serious desert survival gear, or find some way to fly, we could return and hunt for the treasure. Since killing Helmut officially made us the next greatest threat to the king of Nashik, we took a bunch of prisoners and hightailed it back to our safehouse. Helmut's tower is not in a convenient locale and there's not much of value in it that's not behind nasty traps, inhospitable wasteland or hideous monsters; I decided it was safe to leave the place and return when the heat dies down around Nashik.
Party at Katja's:
Strange, shadowy goblin-esq creatures greeted us upon our return to the Obsidian Prison. We went for our weapons (I hid in the sniper's cloak), but we relaxed when the shadow creatures started blowing horns and throwing confetti all over us. Moments later, Katja showed up, eager to hear our report. The dragon grinned maliciously at the grisly details of Helmut's demise and afterwards invited us in to her mansion for a party. The mansion was decorated and the table was set with a mouth watering feast. We seated our selves and partied the night away with Ark and the other dragonborn. Out of pity, we have the captives a few baskets of food so they could have a picnic with Katja's new, brain-damaged shadow minions.
After a few drinks and lots of food, a surprisingly serious matter came up. Ark suggested crossing the Rift. W were feeling confident and we all had important things in jeopardy on the other side so we agreed. Ark said they would set off for Eibelstat in the morning and see if anyone there could help us. Before the night was over, it occurred to all of us that Ark and her team were on the wrong side of Zerthadium, which we might have to assist to get our precious ones our of Victor's clutches. We made a solemn vow not to interfere with each other on the other side. I don't know how that's going to work out, but I have a feeling Victor is going to make it difficult to keep our word.
Katja and the Shadowstone:
Katja learned how to create shadow minions with the shadowstone. I think they turned out quite well---except for one of them, who just sat there eating the confetti at our welcome party. The dark elf later told me that she made a sky, an ocean and a very nice beach. He said there were seagulls, too, but some of them moo-ed like heifers. Using the shadowstone must be tricky business.
