Return to the Thundering Lizard for the evening
Come across tracks - Fang through her survival skills establishes that it's a track of a Frost Giant - Qawasha thinks that's odd. No Frost Giants in the jungle!
During the night, undead approach. Some have a blue triangle on their heads - this is the symbol of Ras Nsi . Bjorn Lovehammer sees and converses with the Chwinga (white masks and wiry black hair). That night he has a trippy dream and see a Jaculi god Moa - he has to go through a maze and is given a choice at the end. He's then tattooed by them. Yesne Brightstar is aware that Jaculi gods are not evil but are to do with the Trickster gods. The tattoo on Bjorn Lovehammer is magical, it sits on the skin so not a true tattoo. It's an enchantment magic, in a shell that binds abjuration magic (which is protection magic).
Bjorn Lovehammer and Fang are attacked by some of the The Batiri (Goblin Tribes), they shoots a poisoned dart at Fang. We stumble upon a group of undead in a cave. The main zombie has two blue gems instead of eyes. We defeat them and discover several items. First a crocodile cloak (a full skin of a crocodile, The Crocodile Skin) which Kailyn Tharamor takes and wears. It comes with a letter regarding a crocodile story. Magic flesh boots - Kailyn Tharamor puts the boots of flesh on. a Pink pyramid (ioun stone). Brass bracers of defence and gloves of missile snaring - to Yesne Brightstar . Also a 'femur' club which we give to Qawasha. Fang finds us a neatly packed campsite for that nights. A rock on the top has an inscription Bravos Volderborn on it. He is a member of the Company of the Yellow Banner.
Spend a day watching the giants. Same as day before, giants only 3 – one on ship two on beach/hut. Shago gets exercised morning and afternoon. Dinosaurs come back again early evening to forage the beach for leftover food etc.
Next morning, see a boat powering towards us – giants are rowing and sailing so gaining on us. Fang fires the arracocra arrow into the air which explodes, Nephyr comes to our aid. Use coconuts filled with oil (4) and gives them to Nephyr with alchemist fire. Ask him to throw at the sail of the incoming boat. Gets it to the bottom of the sail, but it explodes massively; gets the bottom of the sail. They throw the sail in the water. Ship disabled! Nephyr returns
Fang is looking for food and finds birds. They are naked human females control minds. Harpies attract through song, sadistic & evil, will avoid combat as cowardly …… Kailyn Tharamor and Bjorn Lovehammer attempt to jump overboard…. Kailyn Tharamor does, Bjorn Lovehammer gets stopped by Shago but still needs to find the birds. Yesne Brightstar gets affected - tries and fails many times to jump overboard. Shago punches her in the face to snap her out of it. She's mad at him.
Awoke in the morning and waited for the the Undead Rainbow Immolators to return with an undead for the torch experiment. They returned at mid day with a zombie and the experiment was a success. The party left for the dock West of Fort Beluarian by later afternoon arriving late in the evening and baording a merchant ship heading back to Port Nyanzaru. They sailed through the night.
In the morning, Undril Silvertusk is there a bit dishevelled/disorganised but ready and seemingly a bit nervous. Message received that Inete is waiting at the canoes. Go through the old city gates, there seems to be a sort of gladiator pit, this is the The Executioners Run. Find our way to the coastal area. The canoes are there. Azaka Stormfang and Inete are there. We slowly push out to the water in our canoes. We turn the canoes south and enter the river mouth and make our way down for a day and start to negotiate the tributaries into the jungle again down the River Shoshenstar.
Kailyn Tharamor asks Inete about dreams – still seeing pretty / monstrous (melts in and out of the two) face in the room, bleeding walls. Red robes making their way through the Jungle, searching for something. Crocodile ‘myth’ temple (Shrine of the Crocodile) near Camp Vengence was built as a homage to the story (The Crocodile Skin . Inete heard a guide Eku talking about the Couatl Bird in the temple once.
Night 3, Yesne Brightstar sees something. Bjorn Lovehammer casts detect sense. Most evil thing he’s seen/felt. My knowledge - want to see the virtuous turn to villainy. Want everything to turn evil / corrupt. Once creatures of the material plane but their foulness saw them exiled to the planes of Hades where they degenerated into true fiends. Some know them as Night Hags. Very powerful. Ability to enter and exit the material plane via the ethereal plane (can plane shift).
Day 4. Too hot. Whilst foraging, Bjorn Lovehammer, Fang and Azaka Stormfang come across a Druid/Ranger – it is Summerstrider Bron. She’s given them food and drink and asked them to release any animals at Camp Vengence as payment. Send Qawasha a message… It’s Yesne . Think we’ve just been tricked. Would Summerstrider Bron take Bjorns blood for a test. Love you. Reply in 25 words or less (she’s odd, sounds strange but could well be something she’s would do. Take care)
