GR 33: The Jungle's Revenge

A Gremen hunting party returned to their village to find it destroyed and deserted, except for scavengers. They followed a group of gauvambe (fur giants), who had captured their fellow villagers, heading south down river. Lost in the midst of a great swamp, the party encountered an ancient Eldar Traüll of great power (Antiche-be), and his animal companions: drakka, fireserpent, and spriggan.
When the drakka was shot and poisoned by Thrau at the village of the Blackfeet tribe, Antiche-be sent the party to recover a healing goldenroot from a flooded cenote temple that he was to big to enter, agreeing to help rescue the kidnapped Gremen villagers in exchange. Using abandoned underground Solari tunnels, the party finally reached the Thrau pyramid grounds. In the end, they used a jade mandala to close off a teleportation gate by which Gremen slaves were being brought to the Thrau city of Heliathys. Detonating the pyramid gate, Antiche-be and Gimel stayed behind, as the villagers were rescued and brought home.
OUTSIDE GAME-TIME: This was the first adventure located entirely in the southern lands of Wessa, featuring an all Gremen party, pre-literate communication, and primitive natural ethereal. The game was made especially interesting by each player rolling up two characters to play, and using random tables to determine quirks and personality characteristics of each character.
MEMORABLE MOMENTS: Tabv escaping from the flooded cenote temple by jumping aboard his shield and “boogy boarding” over a waterfall. Later in the adventure, a few characters were side-tracked by an attempt to rob a Solari tomb. Mud guardians destroyed them and even sealed Zay'in in the stone tomb he tried to rob.
