As Austar's shadow creature appears, what looks like the main guy tells one of the others to calm down as it's not real.
We have a small fight between our respective groups but once the small child like looking person grabbed a fruit from the Serafadon the leader shouted at me asking for them to leave and we can stop fighting each other.
We somewhat agree and they use Word of Recall and not long after, a giant lizard like creature comes crashing through the trees on our left. Likely attracted by the loud sonic boom let off by Austar.
The creature was a tough fight which nearly takes Ape down a few times but we manage to best it. When dead, I feel a connection with this creature as it's abilities were acid based. I manage to consume it's essence.
I find a small diamond shaped black stone, about the size of a dice inside the creature. I don't recognize what this is, I tried Identify on it but didn't get anything from it.
Raskin gets the trace that the black stone was magical at one point.
We decide to take a short rest before carrying on our journey to Janger. We'll probably arrive in the late night if we keep travelling unless we decide to camp up for the night.
I messaged the leader of the group earlier asking about the fruit. All he told me was just they had a list and the fruit was part of that list, also thanked us for not killing them. I'm fairly certain this individual is called Suto. Might be helpful to keep a rapport with him and his team as they were very capable. Suto likely had some percentage of Air Genasi within him with the way his beard and hair were flowing.
We see Janger about a mile away off in the distance, with the smell of the ocean saltiness, The Immortal Ocean in view and the lamp light of Janger.
