"Well, we won't want to enter the jungles without a guide."  Leann speaks up with a sigh.  "It has been years since I have been back home..." She adds, as if speaking to herself.  "I thought never to be here again..."

"The first thing you should do is explore the town, and secure you some rooms for the night. I know a few places that offer good rooms at a cheap price."

Shaking herself Leann nods her agreement.  "Where can we find these?"

"There is the Thundering Lizard, and Kaya's house of repose. If you want a more quiet place, Kaya's is the place. Both are near each other, ask for the Red Bazaar." She sways a little bit. "This heat is getting to me, I must rest. I'll be at Prince Wakanga O’tamu's place. If you wish to see me, ask for me there. And I almost forgot, here, you'll need this." She hands the group a large map. 

"See you -hak-, friend!" Shank says cheerfully to Silvane, wandering into the city. He keeps an eye out for any interesting shops or stalls, particularly ones selling intriguing items.

Perception: 3

Selen nonetheless nods his thanks at Seebo. He is unused to this kind of kindness. "I vote for quieter one." Selen says.

He looks at Leann while she speaks. then asks .. " You know this place. Can you help me decide what to buy to survive in the jungle." 

Seeing his employer depart he calls out. " What would you have us do ? I thought  there was a matter of urgency." 

"I think it is up to us to figure out how to move forward."  Leann says as she holds the map. She nods to the others.  "We need to find this artifact and see it is destroyed.  I doubt our patron there could aid us any more in that, otherwise she wouldn't need us for the job."  She glances around the area, the still-familiar looks and sounds of her homeland jarring to her, due to that sameness.  She nods to the question on if she can help figure out what to buy.  "I'd suggest getting water and bug repellent for starters."  She shrugs though.  "Our first thing should be to go to find a place to stay, as was suggested, then I think finding a guide is our next priority.  They should be able to help get what supplies we need for the jungle itself."  She sighs.  "We should also ask around to see if anyone has heard about this artifact, since, though doubtful, there may be someone who knows something."  She waves the others to follow and starts off towards the Red Bazaar.  "I think the Thundering Lizard is actually our better choice, since it would give us the ability to both find people to talk to and to see about learning who can be hired for guides."

"Okay," Cielil agrees, following.

Seebo nods at Leann’s suggestions, “Exactly what I was going to say. And while I definitely need supplies, I would like to prioritize the information gathering. The more I know about this artifact, the better the chance that I can locate it with a bit of the ol’ razzle dazzle, the ol’ hocus pocus, the ol’ juju mambo, and put an end to this silly jungle escapade.” As he says this he casts Prestidigitation to create a handkerchief which he uses to wipe away a bead of sweat. 

'I ll follow your judgment since you know this place better than I do." Selen agrees. 

Yesqirelle grimaces slightly.

"The Thundering Lizard is fine, yes."

Seebo stares at Leann waiting for her to lead them. After a few moments his eyes begin to slowly widen as he continues staring at her wordlessly. Then after several more moments of inactivity he finally just shrugs and wanders off in a random direction asking locals to direct him to the Red Bazaar. Along the way he keeps his eyes open for a general goods store that might carry survival gear. If and when he arrives at the bazaar, he looks around for a sign saying Thundering Lizard or for a picture of a lizard with thunder lines coming out of it.

Seebo gets direction from a helpful child, and soon arrives at the Bazaar. A large sign depicting a lizard running hangs nearby.

(Did Shank find any interesting shops?)

(Previous post already said she was walking towards the red bazaar...)

Shank finds several shops that contain interesting wares. He passes two selling tribal masks, one selling strange talismans, and several selling exotic fruit and flowers (Albeit a few flies). As for not interesting shops, he sees merchants selling almost everything. Merchants of all sorts sell their wares here, Shank even recognizes a few companies from Baldur's gate.

Seebo points out what is presumably the Thundering Lizard to anyone who happens to be following him, “Exactly where I knew it would be,” he proclaims. Then hurrying over, he bursts through the door, eager to get out of the blazing sun. As his eyes adjust to the indoor lighting he scans his surroundings.

Selen follows Seebo in the inn at a more leisure walk. He is also very glad to be out from the glaring sun. 

"I ll go check how much are the rooms so we can settle in and start asking questions." he tells the others 

Sweet smells fill the air inside the Thundering Lizard, along with noisy laughter and chatter. The first floor contains mostly tables, all of which are full. Many people stand in groups, laughing and yelling. The large Chultan bartender dishes out drinks will practiced skill. Two bouncers stand near the door, both Chultans.

Yesqirelle follows them in, shrinking even more into herself at the noise.
