"...Debts must always be paid, sometimes in more than blood and gold. But this is Ordo Ursa," Ren places his hand on Erakas's chest, right where the Dragonborn's heart is. "Right here. And it always has been and always will be. Don't ever forget that. Because I won't."

(OOC - I like Azaka - do a little side quest and she waves her fee - if we have to pay 150gp for a different guide that will be the end of our gold that Ren gave us - as far as exploring Port Nyanzaru - Hellmuth is more concerned with their quest than wandering the street - but will accompany anyone who decides to explore the city)
((OOG I also like the free one lol Rawly will need to find a messenger service, to send word to Master Ren once we are ready to embark. I will tell him about the guide we took (what they look like and where we found them), the price of that guide, the supplies we gathered and what our plans are. Other than that, I'm ready to get going but will stick close to the group in this strange and exotic location.))

(OOC - we don't even really know what we're looking for or where our guide needs to guide us to yet do we? Perhaps we should take some time to ask around about the Death Curse - but that's me speaking - Hellmuth isn't much when it comes to brains or dexterity hehe (8's across the board there)
OOC: Ya I (MC) don't like the idea of just striking out into the jungle without a direction or path, however our patron Ren said they haven't the clue, so we are going to have to gather some information around town and see if we can strike up something, or just walk into the forest and see where it gets us.
((OOG Rawly believes Ren told him everything he knew, I mean Ren's life depends on it...but, that doesn't mean we wouldn't be able to find some new source of information that wasn't available to him? It wouldn't hurt to at least try before embarking into the jungle of no return lol ))

"So, we have our guide, we have our gear...um, now what?" Rawly looks up at the sky, feeling how humid the air was down here was a life changer. He can deal with heat, but this was unnatural.

As the party finishes buying the gear for the expedition, a corpulent, fancy dressed man approaches: " OHOH, look at this nice group of strangers. I am stranger myself to this land, but I love her very much. I am Volothamp Geddarm, but for friends, which I am sure we will be, it is simply Volo."
"Oh hi, Volo. I''m Rawly. What brings you to Chult?" Rawly will put out his arm as he introduce's himself. "A beggar for heat, eh?"

Hellmuth will regard this new comer with some scrutiny - what does this charlatan want with us, his hand will absentmindedly go to where his coin purse is.
"Oh, no need to be afraid of me. I am Volo. Have I already tell you that? I guess so. Well, my friend, I am here to spread knowledge, you know? Knowledge must be spread. On this regard, I am bringing my monster guide to this land. Yes, you heard me well, the famous Volo's Guide to Monster. You surely must have it!"
To Hellmuth, despite the exaggerated manners of Volo, he means no harm.

OOC While we work on the inventory out-of-game, is there any particular location you want to check in Port Nyanzaru?

OOC You have to decide yet. So far, you have talked to Eku, the old lady, and Azaka, the young hunter. Both are Chultans.

Lyorna's hand goes to her dagger on her waist, she looks around at the others judging their reactions to the man's approach.
Nemaia looks the fancy dressed man up and down. "Is there something we can help you with?"
A dwarf with a canoe on his back? What could go wrong?
"Oh, no need to be afraid of me. I am Volo. Have I already tell you that? I guess so. Well, my friend, I am here to spread knowledge, you know? Knowledge must be spread. On this regard, I am bringing my monster guide to this land. Yes, you heard me well, the famous Volo's Guide to Monster. You surely must have it!"
To Hellmuth, despite the exaggerated manners of Volo, he means no harm.
"What do you know of dis lands monsters, Volo?" Lyorna removes her hand from her dagger and relaxes a little.
