While putting some insect repellent, Kurma asks Musharib: "Do you know of any plant in the jungle we could use to keep for insect at bay ?"

"No, my shelled friend, I know none. I am most concerned about the map. Are you sure it is accurate?"

At lunch Brunella spots some nut bearing trees, bringing to the boat some wukka nuts.

 "Why do you question the  map? I though we just follow the river, there shouldn't be too many surprises direction wise, no?"

OOC: we're day 3 now, no?

 OOC Yes day 3, I updated the campaign page.

"Yes, but we should where we are on the map. Any of you recalls how many bends we did on the river?"

OOC If any party member wants to help Musharib on the map, a Survival check is needed.

Kurma tells Musharib that the river has bent only two times since they are navigating. Observing the shadow for the time, estimate the distance of the mountains to the west, Kurma point at the exact location of the party on the map.

Musharib is really impressed "Ehm..you may be right. Tsk, Tortle, never underestimate a Tortle. Only a chwinga could know more."

Kurma also knows the property of the wukka nuts:

Wukka Nuts

These fist-sized nuts grow on wukka trees, which are popular haunts for jaculi, su-monsters, and zorbos. A wukka nut rattles when shaken, causing its shell to shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. This magical light fades after 1 minute, but shaking the nut again causes the light to reappear. If the shell of the nut is cracked open, it loses its magic.

"All right, then. We better go on." Musharib prepares the canoes...

Brunella looks at the nuts. Nature17

At dusk, the party spots an another group of explorers. Six people, three are clearly warriors. They all seem lost, hungry and exhausted. They all wave as asking the party to approach, probably for help.

Brunella cautiously says in a low voice. "Could be a trap, could be desperate people willing to do anything, could be genuine need for help. We should be ready for anything."

"Ho, who goes there?", she calls to the party ashore.

Gertrude looks specifically around the group's location. Did they have a rest? Is there more people hiding in the bushes? Is is save to approach them across the water? Is she able to identify the soldiers?

"Explorers of Fort Beluarian. Please, we need help"

The group of explorers are not chultans. More like thetyrian or illiskan. They have probably not rested all day. It is safe to approach with the canoe. Gertrude does not see anyone else hiding.

 Gertrude looks at the map...

"Fort Beluarian is on the other side of Port Nyanzaru! What are you doing here? This is river Soshenstar! What happened to your group? What help do you need?" 

Again, Gertrude steps out of the canoe, slowly bringing it closer to shore. One hand on the Handaxe at her side.

OOC: do we know where Thetyria or Illiska is?

Kurma turn to the rest of the group: "We have to help them, look how desperate they are. And if altruism is not enough think that they might have some useful  information they might gladly to their savior."
