Iason greets the dwarf with a big sword and the almost hairless half-elf."HA! You are not much loquacious, aren't you? Well, mayhap you can tell me where you are from and going?"
Soon, Inete and Musharib join the camp as well, offering some food and some smiles.
Irommek rambles into the camp and stands staring at the hulking man for a moment and then heads over to Felix and asks for the jug.
Ordering up some ale, he takes a drink and then offers up a sip to the camp’s owner.
“We’d love to share some food, drink and stories with you friend. My name’s Irommek Whitestone and although I’m half your size, I’m sure I can drink twice your weight! Do you have any traveling companions nearby or are you crazy enough to travel though this jungle alone?”
"HA! I could drink the weight of your entire clan, Master Whitestone! You can wager on that. Anyway, yes I am on my own, but I know how to take care of myself. You, on the other hand, are quite in uncharted territory, even considering the albino and the chultan girl. It seems a too interesting story not to be told!"
Another puff of smoke from the pipe of the man animates itself to reproduce a bear with glasses reading a book.

"Iason, nice to meet you." Gertrude steps out of the bushes and secretly measures the man against her own size. "Please, tell us your story! Are you from around here?" She will sit down opposite the man and try to figure out what he is doing in the jungle.

I am from here, in Chult. I am from a village in this big jungle. I went to see the world, but I don't like it. We are looking for something called a soulmonger. I was hired by someone, I don't know who, and I don't much care for it anymore. But for my friends here, I would have returned to the jungle. I do not care if it is found, it is magic, and bad. But I have fought with these friends. I will not abandon them now.

Nudging Oniss with his elbow Irommek smiles. "Oh, I like this one."
"If you have some smoked snake and salad I'd gladly eat some of that. I would consider it payback to the snakes and vines that have tried to make meals of us as recently as the other night! However, the strength of my fellow dwarves and barbarian, the powerful spells of our sorcerer and cleric and the cunning and deathly strikes of our masked friend was so mighty, that we continue to tame this wild jungle!"
Taking another drink and settling in next to the hulking man Irommek adds, "OK, maybe there was some luck and divine intervention, but we're still alive and more than happy to revel you with our adventuring tales as we seek to reclaim Hrakhamar, find Omu and to destroy the soulmonger."
OOC: Waiting to see if Iason flinches at the mention of Hrakhamar, Omu or the Soulmonger or if he is hiding anything. If not, he'll settle for trying to outdrink the hulking man. Perception check (12).
Judging the situation peaceful, Kurma step closer to the man and sit down close to the fire. "It is always a pleasure to met someone who enjoys reading. I am Kurma, follower of Oghma. What are you reading, if you don't mind ?"

Felix pulls out the jug giving it to Irommek and also par takes in drinking lifting his mask so he can drink. He watches his friends talk to Lason as Felix insights his answer and intentions.

"My story? Oh well, that would be a tale! My tribe was one of last still wandering the jungle, as it was the way of Ubtao. Alas, most of my tribe-mate were slaughtered by the Yuan-ti. The survivors joined another tribe, while I sought out the guardian Saja N’baza for guidance. He made a guardian of a sort and I serve him ever since."
While the hulking man speaks, Gertrude tries to catch every detail. The man has indeed the chultan accent and mannerism. What it is impressive though, is that the man seems unarmed, no visible weapons are around. He has only a satchel as property.

"I smell the touch of Chult upon you. Honoured to have met you, Brunella!"
"Soulmonger? Yes, I heard the rumours. Are you by chance the group who recently visited my master Saja N’baza?"
Nudging Oniss with his elbow Irommek smiles. "Oh, I like this one."

"HA! That is a tale worth earing! Marvellous! So, I take you are indeed the party of adventurers sent by Saja N’baza! Hrakhamar is a long way south, mayhap I have the means to... speed up your journey. You see, I am the guardian of a portal to a place of wonder. From there we can find the way to take you at the edge of the jungle, one or two days away from Hrakhamar!"
Judging the situation peaceful, Kurma step closer to the man and sit down close to the fire. "It is always a pleasure to met someone who enjoys reading. I am Kurma, follower of Oghma. What are you reading, if you don't mind ?"
"Oh, this. Nothing, really, just a funny magical pipe. The reading bear means I enjoy worthy tales."

Iason seems an honest fellow, every word from him is coming as truthful.
"That would definitely speed things up in our favor, are there other places you can take us as well?" Felix will take another drink from the jug and pass it to Lason.
"That would definitely speed things up in our favor, are there other places you can take us as well?" Felix will take another drink from the jug and pass it to Lason.
"Well, I fear portals are never that convenient. This portal I am guarding activates itself on the full moon only, which should come in three days. The portal leads to the Beastlands, one of the good-aligned outer planes. There, you will find Ayo, an ape native of that plane. It should not be too hard to convince her to let you go close to Hrakhamar. unfortunately, I can't come with you; I need to keep guarding the portal, too many foes are wandering the jungle these days."
"Three days huh, well what do you think Musharib? Should we wait here or should we continue on foot? How many day do we have left until then."
Musharib answers Felix:" Oh, you're joking right? From here to Hrakhamar it would take at least 10 days on foot. I feel this dude is a blessing, we should to this beastland, or land of beasts or whatever..."
Oniss listens and is curious about traveling to another plane.
"I would be interested in going, seems we would have shorter travel and potentially some new allies in the mix. we would be no closer to the soulmonger then we already are, right?"
The beastlands... the name of this place sounds more comforting to Brunella. More comforting and natural than the oversized cities of man, with their endless stone and metal towers. The idea of an ape native, an ape civilization, seems much more in harmony to her than what she has seen outside of Chult. Uncharacteristically, she speaks out forcefully.
I will go to the Beastlands! I will meet Ayo. This place, I want to see it. I want to go.

OOC Anyone with proficiency in Arcana can do a check for knowledge about the Beastlands.
If no one has nothing further to ask Iason, I'll post the travel tomorrow.
Taking another drink, Irommek stares at the large tree behind the hulking man and searches his memory about a plane of beasts...
Arcana check (2)
The name sounds familiar and the light mood and ale seems to jog his memory.
OOC: Crit! Apparently something that only happens when Irommek is drinking and never in battle ;)
