When you’re ready to depart, I will teleport us all to Port Nyanzaru, the only major settlement in Chult. I’ve been there several times before, so there’s little chance of mishap. Once there, I’ll stay with a friend named Wakanga O’tamu. He’s one of seven merchant princes who rule the city.
He sighs deeply "Why are you punishing me by letting me work with these kids? They dont even respect you..." he whispers to himself.
Tordek looks at Pit with a very serious look "My name is Grimmbeard, Tordek Grimmbeard, not Holybeard!" than he looks Nemaia deep in her eyes "And you should really learn to be more patient!".
Then he devotes his attention to the woman with the mask "But i agree with the Elf, we should really start going. Everything else you can tell us while we are on the way"

You appear in a tropical city under the blazing sun. The familiar sounds of a harbor — creaking ropes, slapping waves, heavy barrels rolling across cobblestones — mingle with voices shouting and cursing in an unfamiliar language filled with clicks, inhalations, and singsongy words that make it sound almost musical. The aroma of unfamiliar spices and tropical fruit mixes with the wharfside smells of fish, tar, and canvas.
Beyond all that, Port Nyanzaru is an explosion of colour. Buildings are painted in bright shades of blue, green, orange, and salmon pink, or their walls are adorned with murals portraying giant reptiles and mythical heroes. Every building sports baskets and clay urns of colourful flowers or is draped in leafy, flowering vines. Minstrels in bright clothing adorned with feathers and shells perform on street corners. Multicolored pennants and sun awnings flutter atop the city walls. A crowd of children dressed in feathered hats and capes races past you, squealing in delighted terror as a street performer costumed as a big-toothed lizard stomps and roars behind them. The whole city seems to be bustling, sweating, laughing, swearing, and singing.
Medium and Large dinosaurs are used as beasts of burden to haul two-wheeled carts, to hoist heavy loads on cranes, and to tow boats along the canals.
Dinosaurs compete in weekly races through the streets. These brightly painted racing dinosaurs are fast, vicious, and barely under their riders’ control.
Flowers, green plants, and vines grow everywhere, seeming to spring out of the building stones themselves. The profusion of greenery needs constant tending to prevent roots and shoots from damaging buildings or tile roofs.
The city’s defensive walls and towers are topped with colourful awnings to shield guards from the sun and rain.
All streets within the city walls are paved with cobblestones or flagstones, and they have deep rain gutters as much as 2 feet wide. Residents of Port Nyanzaru pay little attention to any but the heaviest deluge.
Tabaxi minstrels wander the streets, performing for anyone who tosses them a few coins.
Walls divide the city into districts, and the open archways above the streets are painted with murals of dinosaurs, mountains, and mythic heroes.
Crumbling ancient buildings covered with vines and lichens indicate the city’s great age.
There are two inns near the Red Bazaar, the Thundering Lizard is a bit cheaper but also a bit livelier whilst Kaya's House of Repose is a bit more expensive but you will definitely get a nights sleep. You'll see notice boards outside the shops and inns with postings from suitable guides, they will help you navigate the jungle and may be able to provide you with some additional leads.
Tordek looks around "Your magic is impressive. An interesting way to travel! What should be our first step, ma'am? You mentioned a Wakanga O'tamu? Is there anything else we should know about this place?"
My knowledge is limited to trading here and dealing with the merchant princes. As I said, find an inn and a guide they will be able to help you in your search. She reaches into her robes and pulls a scroll from it, she unfurls a map of the Port and puts three spots on it.
A: Is the Thundering Lizard B: Is the Red Bazaar one of the many bazaars in Port Nyanzaru C: Is Kaya's House of Repose
OOC: Click the map to see the full sized map. It's unlikely Pit has been here before, it's is quite a ways from the main part of the Forgotten Realms world and most traders avoid it because of the pirates and the lack of a variety of trading partners.
Crom listens and looks at the map for some seconds and then says:
mh...surely there are guides, fine, but what are we gonna ask? has anybody seen a soulmounger passing by? mhmhmh, I am not good with this kind of stuff, no. We are better going to this Thunder Lizard thing , if it is cheaper even better.
Pit puts both hands on his belt and looks around amazed
"Aye! What a fine place it is! Me love Selena will not believe me when i tell here about it! I need to collect some spices for me mum gumbo. Ye know there is nothing better then me mum gumbo for dinner. Oi!"
To Crom
"Aye Crom!Ye know what they say. Cheap rum is good because it is cheap and that is good! Thunder Lizard sounds perfect. Oi!"
Next Pit examines map carefully. He checks important places around to adjust their location on the map.
"Oi! Another fine map. Can you give us both maps captain? They will be quite useful"

Silvana looks around, 50 gold each, that is my final and only remaining off, take it or stop wasting my time and leave. Do we have an agreement?
Silvana looks to each of you in turn for your answer.
„i will not take the Money. The thank of my god will be due enough“

Crom suddenly replies to Silvana:
”I must accept. And even if my friend cleric does not admit, he will need them as well , we will take also his share for covering common expenses etc”
,
Nemaia looks at the party and then at their hostess and nods once more positively about the task.
Pit is "Yo-ho! That's a honest gold me hearties! Me never got that much as a sailor. Nice one. Oi!
With eagerness in voice "Show us the map and your magic captain"
She reaches into her drawer, and throws a small pouch filled with 200gp and unrolls a map on the table.

Crom says
if the Port, as you say, is a big city I am ready, do you agree, guys?
and...sorry madam, but you said you know the city, don’t you? Well, please tell us what you know about the area then
while refilling his glass

Tordak shakes his head full of incomprehension when the money is put on the table, but does not say anything else about it.
"I'm in." is all he says. He than looks over to the Map to get a first Impression of Chult

Pit pats Tordek: "Do not worry holy beard you can use this gold in many holy ways!"
[OOC: Tordek was a pre-made dwarf in 3.5! :D]
"Let's just get going, I've put others jobs on hold for this "party" invitation " , Nemaia responded with impatience.
He sighs deeply "Why are you punishing me by letting me work with these kids? They dont even respect you..." he whispers to himself.
Tordek looks at Pit with a very serious look "My name is Grimmbeard, Tordek Grimmbeard, not Holybeard!" than he looks Nemaia deep in her eyes "And you should really learn to be more patient!".

crom looks around bewildered, thinking
ohhhh, damn. I’d buy everything, I guess I sold myself cheap!

[OOC: Soo as Pit is Tabaxi and a sailor, Is there a posiblity that he was here before? History: 7 , Perception 17 ]
Tordek looks around "Your magic is impressive. An interesting way to travel! What should be our first step, ma'am? You mentioned a Wakanga O'tamu? Is there anything else we should know about this place?"
