This region outside the city walls, known as Malar's Throat, is Port Nyanzaru’s slum district. Two sheer, jungle-draped ridges flank a deep ravine. Ramshackle buildings cling to the sides of the ridges, each structure seemingly built atop the lower one’s roof.

Coming back from Tiryki Anchorage, Gertrude is greeted by a hulking, chultan woman: " Greetings, my Queen of the Thundering Lizard. I am K'lahu. I have been told that you can handle... though men. I was wondering if I can hire you for a small job."
Greetings K'lahu, yes, I enjoyed the wrestling last night. I get restless in the city, nothing but eating and talking. I am very much up for a little side job. How can I help you?
"I have... a small problem my dear. I have a credit with a man, a survivor of the Executioner's Pen. But he refuses to pay. I need you to... "persuade" him to pay. I can give you the tenth part of what he owes me."
"Easily done. Please tell me more about this man. Is he usually alone, is he armed? Where can I find him? And how much does he owe you? But just to let you know, I usually work for 1/5th when collecting debts..."

In Malar's Throat, the shady fellows, three in total, do not like their turf walked by masked, unknown weakling. They strongly intimidate the masked man to leave. "Leave now, bunny. There is place for you here."
K'lhau is impressed by the Queen Goliath, but she will need more for this task. " My initial offer was 50 gp. I can rise that to 70. No a copper more. I strongly advice you to take your friends with you. This man is not a fool in combat. He is armed and armoured. You can find him at the Executioner's Pen (area 2). I will be waiting nearby in old city."

Felix: " My apologize, I should take my mask off. (Taking his mask off) You see I was disfigured couple of years ago it tend to keep people focus if I bandage up. Like I was saying... looking for work."

Felix takes his dagger at the thug's throat. One of the other fellow invites everyone to calm down. "All right, no need to be upset. We may have a job for you. Surely you know how to deal with stuff like this. Go to the temple of Savras and convince the Grandfather to find a person for us. We'll pay 200 gp. What do you say?"

I will be waiting nearby in old city."
"Thanks for this information, K'lahu. I can make an exception for you and do it for 70GP. I will get my crew together and we will head out in the evening. Can you tell me a bit more about the Executioners Pen? Is it a fighting pit?"
" Not exactly. It is where criminals are sentenced to death. They are left in the pen with famished dinosaurs. You get the picture. Few survive. Taban, that is the name of the man, survived several times. Some believe that he does that on purpose. Anyway, he is not a man to be underestimated."
"The name of the man is Artus Cimber. He lives in Chult somewhere and we need to know his whereabouts. Use any means necessary. At task completed, you get the payment."
The harbour of Port Nyanzaru is immense. Ships of every size and colour come and go at any time of the day. The eastern portion of the harbour seems the one with more guards and controls.
Isolated atop a rocky formation in the sea, the temple of Sune (area 9) is reachable only by an elevated causeway from Temple Hill or by boat. Steep steps wind up the cliff from the temple’s small harbour. When seen from a distance, the temple’s roof seems to float in mid-air — an illusion created by mirrors lining the outside walls.

Gertrude is getting bored. Not able to challenge Talan without her friends, she doesn't want to spend the afternoon sitting in the Inn waiting for them. So she heads back out into the heat. Gondolo and his triceratops still in her mind. She wonders if she made a mistake not talking to him.

Gertrude decides to go for a little walk around the city. Walking up the stairs from the Thundering Lizard, she is vexed by the garden/pavilion inside high walls (OOC: ?!?!? I am talking about location 21). She will investigate it, talk to a couple of people about rumours and information on the race.
When she feels that there is nothing left to learn, she heads back to Tiryki Anchorage to finally talk to Gondolo in a thundering voice:
"Gondolo, you have a dinosaur here. Is he any good at racing? Will you be taking part in the races tomorrow yourself?" She slaps him on the shoulder and gives him her biggest grin.

Apparently, Kurma the Tortle knows quite a lot about Sune
Sune
Lady Firehair, the Lady of Love, the Princess of Passion
Sune Firehair is a deity of passion and the delights of the senses. She is the goddess of beauty in all its forms — not just pleasing sights, but also enchanting sounds, luxurious tastes and scents, and the exquisite pleasures of the flesh, from a lover’s caress to the brush of silk on the skin. Her worshipers seek out these pleasures in life, not out of mere decadence, but because the experience of pleasure is the touch of Sune herself.
The followers of Sune have a reputation as hedonists, and so they are, to a degree. More than that, her priests foster beauty in the world. They do so by creating art, by acting as patrons for promising talents, and by investing in merchants who bring luxuries to far-off places that have never seen satin or tasted a luscious wine.
Her priests consider loveliness to be one of their greatest callings, and all are trained in comportment, fashion, and cosmetics. Indeed, so talented are Sune’s priests in the creation of beautiful appearances that many take pride in their ability to present themselves as stunningly attractive examples of either gender.
But beauty is more than skin deep, say the Sunites; it issues from the core of one’s being and shows one’s true face to the world, whether fair or foul. The followers of Sune are believers in romance, true love winning over all, and following one’s heart to one’s true destination. Fated matches, impossible loves, and ugly ducklings becoming swans are all in the purview of Sune.
Temples dedicated to Sune are common in human lands, and they frequently serve as public baths and places of relaxation. A temple usually features a mirrored and well-lit salon where folks can primp, as well as see others and be seen. Where a temple doesn’t exist, or in a large city where the nearest temple might be too far to walk to, a small shrine to Sune often stands near a street corner. These sites consist of a mirror hung beneath a small roof where one can say a prayer while checking one’s appearance. The spot might feature a shelf or a cupboard holding various perfumes and cosmetics so that those without the funds to purchase such items can still make themselves feel beautiful.
