No pirate's life for me

Sooo, here's a top tip for all of you: don't fail a saving throw by more than five if a medusa is involved. Valley is now a statue in Nangalore. Because the group I was playing with was a playing a little too mechanically I left it, but I would like to see the end of the module so if you need a player, send me a message. #dnd #lfg

Hmmmm, in the largest building there is a pot with ashes and a statue of a human that is looking like it is trying to take the pot. I must say I have never seen craftsmanship such as this, even individual hairs are made out of stone.

Even the normal flowers are dangerous in here. I want to find the black flower and leave.

Reached Nangalore

It turns out that Nangalore was only a few days of travel away from Kir Sabal. It is an old place, a crumbling temple of some kind I'd say.

The view is amazing from up here, even if a few of the party got hurt in the process of not falling 600 feet to the ground below. This old monastery of Kir Sabal is the home to a group of Aarakokra who are housing a chultan who is claiming to be the true leader of Chult, but they require a black orchid from a place called "Nangalore" in order to prove it. They want us to retrieve it in return for the exact location of Omu and a blessing of flight to get us there.

Reached Kir Sabal

Well, we are finally here! Sort of, the buildings are very high up and the walkway seems in need of repair. There are Aarekokra flying around, looking at us. Will update once at the top.

Cleaned a statue

We are now past the basin and travelled about a day, when we found an old statue to Ubtao. One of my companions was kind enough to help me remove all of the vines and undergrowth from it.

Travel continues on. We are now travelling eastwards in a boat across, what I am told, is the "Aldani Basin". According to a book by Volo, it is so called because a cursed people live here, who are called Aldani. Why is it that names are sometimes really complicated and without meaning, and others are short, to the point and descriptive?

We've been travelling towards Kir Sabal for a few days now and we've encountered a group of scouts from the Emerald enclave. They are nice enough to let us join their camp and even offer us some stew (the stew could use some salt though).

We are out of Orolunga. I am still processing what we found inside: A spirit naga called Saja N'basa. A human face on a giant snakes body. They pointed us towards a place called Kir-Sabal, whose inhabitants might be able to show us the exact location of Omu. The jungles of Chult are hiding fascinating secrets.

Up the third stairs we go. After having consumed one of the magical poisonous snakes that were crawling on the steps. Definitely unpleasant to get a psychic hit to the brain should your mind falter while consuming. Not recommended.

Orange orchids. That's what you need to get up the second flight of stairs. With the solution out of the way, the problem this solved was that the stairs would crumble under your feet without the flowers, preventing the ascent. Only one more flight of stairs to go.

I was right, there are puzzles to be solved here. There is no use trying to force yourself up the first flight of steps, the thorns of the undergrowth will just hurt you more the more you try. Our party only got up the steps once a Chwinga (small spirit in Chult) showed us that one must carry red parrot feathers while walking up the steps. I like those spirits, let's hope that they will also help us getting past the second flight of stairs.

Reached Orolunga

After a weeks of travel the party has finally arrived at the ziggurat of Orolunga! Built to Ubtao, my god, I'm assuming that getting to the top will involve a challenge or puzzle of some kind. I will keep you informed.

Today we went past an abandoned mine of some sort. We could not enter due to the entrance having collapsed.

Based on the fact that throat leeches can be found in water even inland, I would recommend that you do not drink it like I did. It was uncomfortable. Thankfully the adventurers I met were going in the same direction as I and their paladin, Frank (her name is much longer, but I cannot remember all of it), could remove the parasite.

No pirate's life for me

Life sure takes some turns. I got lost in my search for Orolunga and stumbled my way through the jungle, only to find myself at the gates of some encampment one evening. Wanting to get some directions, or at least a better vantage from where to find my ...
