"Great, glad one of us was able to get the info out of these guys. We can ask around about Omu, Acererak, and Ras Nsi at the Port. That way we help these guys out and make sure we're ready as possible for whatever we'll find in Omu. I can't translate Grung, but we may be able to find a wizard or spell scroll at the Port with the right spell."

Taggart nods his agreement to Yellow.  He will put on insect repellent in the morning and pack his things to go.  

Day 3 of the Third Tenday

Approximately 7:35 am

You all awake to what you think is the smell of bacon but it is not. Its dinosaur, the breakfast of champions at Camp Vengeance. As you gather by the fire pit for your breakfast Captain Firebeard meets you and hands Yellow a list. 

"Here is the list of things we need shipped back to Camp Vengeance. It's mostly medical supplies, food stocks, clean linens, clothes. That kind of stuff. Zhanthi is the merchant you wish to seek out when you are going for the items on the shopping list. She is honorable and will help you. When you are dealing with Ifan Talro’a try and buy a triceratops. That is what we wish to have. It should run you about 500 gold pieces, if you can get two sent to us that would be great. When you are with Jobul make sure you tell him we need at least 2-3 guides/scouts sent to us immediatly. that could run you about 500 gold or so."

Captain Firebeard scratches his chin while he thinks. "When all your shopping is done have Ifan Talro'a send it to us with the beasts of burden. The scouts can guide them here. Give Ifan money to buy a barge. Make sure you hand all the letters to the proper merchants. Visit Ifan last. As for the Harbor master, find out what you can about our missing supplies and people. Hunt them down if you can. God luck Chevall Yellow. The camp os counting on you."

As you sit and eat your food Drita takes off her boots and dumps out a lot of sand. It looks very out of place.

After your breakfast you gather up enough food for the 8 day journey and the camp also gives you enough water for five days. Captain Firebeard figures since you will be on the river you should be able to get plenty of water and boil it to make it safe. 

You say your goodbyes and head out on the barge. It is a beautiful jungle morning, the sun is shining bright and the temperature is a balmy 97 degrees at 8:30 am. Not a cloud in the sky to make it rain and cool you down. Atfter about ten minutes you are all sweating profusely and are very uncomfortable. The day goes by without any problems and everything seems to be on track. You pull the barge to shore around 8 pm and set up camp for the night. Eku breaks out the rations from Camp and gives everyone their share before retiring for the night.

 

As the group is setting up for camp, Yellow is a little more present than everyone but Khan is used to. You're used to her generally staying to herself, perhaps socializing with one of the males, and that's it. Tonight, she is walking about, offering assistance and checking on people. This activity seems a little awkward for her, but she's doing an OK job at it. She doesn't find much to do to be helpful (everyone's pretty used to the routine and is self sufficient), but her unimposing presence is felt. Around the campfire, her laughter is a little louder than usual, though she isn't as flirtatious as she can be. Her tail lays curled behind her, hardly moving, except for the tip, which moves almost constantly. She offers to take second watch when everyone begins to bed down for the night. She surreptitiously speaks with those offering to take first and third watch to make sure an eye is kept on the new tiefling at all times during the night.

Perception: 10

"This heat today was dreadful. I will take first watch if no one minds" Drita pats gently at her face and arms  with a little water from her waterskin and winces at the touch of her sun-burnt skin. She takes a long draw of water, and eats some of the rations thaet Eku gives her.

Perception: 8

Krav smells...not great. The sweat and insect repellent coating his skin has seemed to almost form a shell. Before offering to take 3rd watch alongside Solis, he goes off to the shore and checks the water. If it seems like it's fine, he'll bathe in it, out of the sight of the others.

Perception for taking 3rd watch with Solis: 17

"Phew, that was a hot one today" he says as he take his pack off. "I'm going to go for a quick evening fish if anyone cares to join me"

Kaslo heads down to the river with his tackle. After assessing it's safe to do so, he casts a line into the river.

Survival:  10

When Krav comes down to the river, he talks to him in Dwarvish:

Solis is positive and upbeat throughout the journey. He responds well to Yellow's foray into leadership and tries to help surreptitiously by asking for her input on things even when it might not have been necessary (like where she thinks threats are likely to come from or what order in the watch he should take) and by looking to her when a decision needs to be made. 

In the camp, Solis notices Drita dumping sand out of her points and her apparent sunburn (which he knows in uncommon for aasimars. Sitting next to her, he smiles and says, "Haven't seen much sand around here, your patron teleport you to the Anauroch while we were sleeping?" He chuckles at his own joke.

To Solis, Away from the party. "Well about that... I was in the desert last natten during my sleep... It was so much like a enderr. My mbrojtes revealed himself. Oh my god what do I do. It's Asmodeus. No wonder I haven't heard from my guide or Horus." She starts to panick a little, starts pacing. but begins to calm down.

Celestial: 

Solis and Drita you can finish that conversation in discord

 

You all awake in the morning and head out on the river, its another hot and humid day and things are misrable on the barge. Around midmorning up ahead along the beach you see 12 local tribesmen. They have bright blue tatoos on their forheads of a triangle and they are all bent over a two dead zombies, ripping the flesh off their bodies and eating them.

"That's the symbol of Ras Nsi" Eku remarks. "Cannibals, a disgusting group of people." 

The Cannibals look up at the approaching barge and ready their spears. Each Cannibal have two of them. The continue eating the zombie flesh but watch you closely. 

"Do you want me to stop?" Eku asks. 

"No," Yellow says, her eyes watching the cannibals. Her spear is readied as well. "Ubtao may yet have work for them."

If awake around sunrise, you see Drita off to the side praying. She pulls out a dainty yet beautiful amulet in the shape of a sun made of different crystalline pieces. She hold it up to the sky. When the sunlight crests over the tops of the trees and hits the amulet, the light refracts into a bunch of dancing colors, mostly reds, yellows and oranges like the necklace itself. When finished she drinks some water, eats a ration and applies insect repellent. 

On the barge, Drita sees the cannibals eating the zombie. She tunrs a little green in the face. "How can people do such a thing?! That person there had a life and should be buried like any other. Zombie or not. This has to be stopped..." Drita will then draw her Rapier and look towards Yellow.

Eku nods at Yellows authoritative voice and continues onward. Another day of pushing down stream through vine covered river banks, crocodiles, the occasional dinosaur but in the end nothing really happens throughout the day and as night approaches you can see in the distance a large 80' statue of a man with a crocodile on his shoulders. Camp Righteous. 

Eku pulls up to the shore of Camp Righteous and gets out and begins to set up camp. She doesn't mention anything as she goes about her business but seeing this place brings back bad memories for some. 

As Yellow is once again being more present in camp, she overhears one of the dwarves say something about Camp Righteous. "Did you Camp here before?" she asks.

Kvothe applies his insect repellant in the morning before setting out. His usual position is in the bow of barge keeping a close eye on the river and the jungle on either sides as they move downstream. When ever necessary he takes his turns at the oars.

Ahkmenos has been very vigilant about applying his insect repellent.

Once the group reaches the camp Ahkmenos will look around (not moving anywhere just observing) Perception: 7

Whew Ahkmenos is gawking at the large building in the shape of a human carrying a crocodile.

What's inside there? Ahkmenos asks with interest.

Eku looks up at the statue and frowns. "Probably your death." 

Kvothe helps Eku set up camp. He looks up at the statue and overhearing Eku’s comment to Khan thinks to himself “ interesting, but something for another day maybe.”

Drita helps Eku and Kvothe set up camp. She wanders around a little. "What was this place? And what happened?" She turns her attention to the temple. Amazed by the detail in the carvings. "This is such a beautiful temple." She sits by the stairs and takes out her flute, and plays just loud enough for the camp to hear her.
