Session 2

The session began where the last left off in the market place.  The adventures did some additional shopping at the Grand Sauk.  Arlen and Karn checked out The Old City for some black market goods  and ran into Po, a Begger's Prince whom offered them a job to investigate missing children around the refuse pit.  Arlen was able to locate a hidden shop and check out the inventory (including Napalm bombs and a launcher) while learning about the possible connection between the pirates and Flaming Fist commander at Ft. Beluarian.  Rohka requested assistance breaking in to the fort if Arlen help by creating some kind of distraction.  The guide services of River Mist and Flask of Wine were also offered....all under the table of course without the knowledge of Merchant Prince Jobal.

Meanwhile, the others visited a few shops and gathered up some additional supplies and weapons....on to dinner and a freak show.

Wakangu O'tamu welcomed his guests to his opulent villa for a Chultan meal and a hot bath, giving out information, gifts and a possible lead to finding a construct.  The reward being a spell book in which Wakangu no longer has a need.

 The locations of both Vorn and Mbala found within his guide book.

 Following a restful sleep at the villa, adventurers set out early in the morning to find Zanthi and collect their pirate bounty then stop by Kwayothe's villa to clean up some "vermin" in her basement. Johfra was immediately taken into custody by the Nyanzaru authorities for the alleged murder of a Chultan citizen.  After a brief arguement, he went willingly while the rest of the party continued with their plans for the day. 

Zanthi referred the party to meet her son Shago in Ft. Beluarian if they happen to head in that direction.  At Kwayothe's, they were lead down to the basement by the attractive house keeper Nestique (who by the way was NOT amused by the boys crude jokes).  Little did the group know after being sprayed with a repellent that reeked of skunk and death, they were being lead into some twisted undead repellent experiment.  Unfortunately, the repellent didn't work well, but it was job well done by the party, showcasing some of their abilities, earned a whopping 5 gold each and a 10 day supply of insect repellent.  Cogar did get invited back for dinner to discuss religion, but due to complications with Johfra in court and a monsoon storm, he failed to show up.  Feeling a little annoyed and dissatisfied, the party headed out to find Johfra.

The party stopped by Goldenthrone where Johfra was being held and due to appear in court. He was sold out by his young friend Runt and was sentenced to executioners run to fight for his freedom or die. The gods must have reacted to the injustice thus creating a massive tropical storm lasting several hours forcing the party to stay put and wait it out.  On their journey to the local inn, a man approached them seemingly out of his mind.....

“Speak to the wise guardian of Orolunga, west of Mbala. She can direct you to that which you seek.”

The adventurers arrived at the Thundering Lizard for some rest and to decide plans for the next day.  A rowdy crowd of drinkers and monkey brain on the special list made the evening a little more interesting.

The group couldn't help be drawn into conversation of the world traveler Volotham Geddarm or just Volo selling his travelers guidebook while on tour in Chult.  He offered the party to perform for a free book and provided a tid bit in the type of goblins are in Chult and how they "they don't kill you right away, see, they like to wait for for a nice hot Chultan day.....get a trail of red ants going.  They're about an inch long, they just love to bite into human flesh....ha ha ha haa". 

A busy place, the party was approached by a guide offering her services after having watched the party come in looking new.  Her name was Azaka Stormfang offering to guide them for a fee.

The night and session ended with two passed out adventurers finding themselves in the morning... Karn woke up on the floor of a seedy club. Looks like it was amateur night. His clothing in a pile in the corner and not knowing where the g-string came from, but an extra 10gp and an invitation to attend a private, VIPs only gathering at Wakanga O'tamu's villa. A leather animal mask was delivered shortly after.  Arlen found himself in bed and appeared normal (a few gold less) until the life size, lifelike bust of him carved from cheese was delivered.  

Next time, the party will attend the execution run to see if Johfra survives and run some dinosaur race they heard could bring them some gold.

The rumors learned....
 If you head up the Tiryki River about five days by canoe, you’ll see a stone spire to the east. Natives call it Firefinger. “Terror folk” nest there, and if they spot you, you’re in for a fight.

 A ruined city lies up the River Tath, past Kahakla Gorge. Supposedly, no one’s explored past the gorge, but that’s not true. It’s just that the few who made it out alive mostly keep quiet about what they found there. I have it on good authority that the ruins are guarded by a naga who is both wise and generous.

A Tot Production.....
