Deeper Inland We Go

by Shyrene Windheart

Having completed what we came here to do, with both Tom and myself ascended, so we are setting out to find Geode and Obin's Codicil. We are joined by Mule, a dwarven monk and earthsinger, here to figure out what in the world Geode has been doing.
 
We set out to the northeast, mapping our way along. Our first night's camp was interrupted by a large Yuan-ti who wished us to become servants of his clan. Himo seemed aware of the race's agenda and battle was waged. Umlilo dropped immediately on the first arrow, which was terrifying to see. When we killed it, it had two of the magic garottes, the larger hog tied Tom briefly. It also carried a heavy falchion and a pouch of heavy gold coins (4000gp value).
 
It appears the ancient Uthgardt tribe in this area appear to have been in alignment with the Yuan Ti. This information may be of use as we delve deeper in this area. The Uthgardt zombies are likely tied to the Yuan Ti temple that his accident on our first day here revealed.
 
Himo and Tom went swimming to explore the fallen wall and they found a snakeskin scroll case containing several spell scrolls (fireball, lightning bolt and divination). After that, we headed out to continue mapping. We found another codicil, Ranger Prima, just as we set out. Later that afternoon, we ran into a pack of mud mephits, but they were not much problem, despite a magic circle that was summoning more into existing during the fight. We found a magic chest, which we could not open and needs to be dispelled.
 
We went the the Deep Fishers lizardfolk village for shelter in advance of the rains we detected (Mist Monkeys lizardfolk village on the other shore.)
