Eku and Azaka would both be ok with moving on to a different location for sure.
"Sure... but let's see if Alton saw anything else when he gets back."Eku says as she now takes flight again and watches for the halfling to either come back or perhaps launch a sneak attack on what he saw?
Also Gotur, I'm happy to retcon a conversation with the dogs should you want to rejig your spells. Given PbP and all I think it's fine.
What would you say to them? (this was before the arrival to the Kamadan shrine)
((Nah, if you let me rejig that spell, I'll want to have rejigged dispel magic for the frog temple. I'll chalk it up to 'learning how to play a caster that can change spells each day' and do better tomorrow.))

Alton would slowly sneak back to the party and inform them of what he saw. The halfling is completely fine with doing whatever the party may choose to do, but does think a sneak attack would be viable (except that there are babies there too!)
Ok cool, so Alton did return back to report his findings, so everyone please take a look at the spoiler for Alton earlier if you didn't already so you can see the little babies with the parents!
Eku says "I didn't see the babies from the air. Nice spot, Alton. These creatures will likely defend their offspring with ruthless aggression. I am onside with checking a different location, at least for the time being. Perhaps the family will leave."
Azaka says "cubs? aww!" (she doesn't know about Kamadans, lol). "but yeah, sure. Let's try another location in this place. Seems they are numerous around here, right Orvex?"
"Well, nine shrines at minimum, Azaka."
What next? If you're not going to take this shrine any further, which red circle on the Omu Master map might the party head now? Orvex doesn't know where any other shrines are, but he'd suggest to maybe try the main drag. "I suppose the main street wouldn't hurt, right?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
DAY 34 - 2:00PM
If you all agreed to head north up the main drag, you'd have a number of different options available. Please check out the 'Omu Master' tab, specifically that red path and the arrows and the new numbers on those red dots on the main drag. Here's a high level overview of each location, let me know which one the party would want to check out first.
#6 - an abandoned campsite
#7 - a shrine
#8 - an overturned wagon
#9 - a shrine
#A - an amphitheater
Orvex, Azaka and Eku wait until you all give your opinions and thoughts first.
I think at this point it's safe to say that Eku would now automatically do her standard fly over scans as the party reaches each location. She would cast her detect evil and good as well as detect magic as she can do this at will.
The party arrives at #6 on the map. Eku does her scan and returns back and explains what she sees.
Amid the ruins is an abandoned campsite. Torn backpacks and rotted gear litter the ground around the three moldering tents. At the center of the camp, a scrap of dirty yellow cloth hangs from a crude wooden flagpole.
Eku gets no magic pings, no good/evil pings.
Eku says "Seems long abandoned."
Will the party investigate this campsite further on foot, or proceed to the next spot?
"Worth checking out, if they were to folks who scribbled those notes, there may be more record of what they were able to find out before whatever befell them."

Once anyone entered the campsite and took a look around the debris, you would've found this moldy parchment caught in the lining of one of the tents. There was no roll required to find this as it was very obvious on one of the tents.
Evo, you don't recall anything specific about the yellow banner. It doesn't seem like a well-known established organization that you recognize, it's more likely the banner of an independent adventuring party. You've no idea though.
Evo, you've no idea about this Eye of Zeltec. Seems this group was quite keen on it though.
Eku agrees and responds to Evo"Yes, hopefully. Although I fear not. Perhaps this Eye has something to do with the curse?" Eku has never heard of it either.
Gotur, this yellow flag/banner is quite dirty and torn, but you do see an emblem on it if you examine it closely. It looks like this, but in much worse shape.
Azaka says "Unfortunately most adventurers leagues who attempt to journey to Omu never make it, and the ones that do usually meet their fate here."
Eku looks at Azaka and shakes her head.
Azaka says "What??! It's true. I imagine these yellow banner folks are no different. Although this Eye of Zaltec does sound kind of important, right?"
A few moments later, Eku also says "Look at this place. By the looks of the rot and weathering, I would say this camp has been abandoned for many months."
What's next?
((Orvex does not know about the yellow banner group))
Phillip looks over the abandoned campsite, and looks down shaking his head forlornly. He heaves a sigh, for the fallen adventuring party. But then he looks up at everyone, proud that they all seem to be managing to get further than this poor lot.
”Yep!.. Let’s keep going up the main road. Uh huh uh huh…”.

Phillip chips in, “Babies?! Yep yep?… Hmm… The parents will viciously protect their babies. Uh huh, uh huh…”.
”But also, hmm, may not stray too far from the spawning-patch, yep yep yep!… iffff we leave them be! Yup yup…”.
”Sneaking in, or trying a difffffffferent site fffff-P’irst… huh…. Might be best! Uh huh, uh huh!…”.
He moves ever so slightly away from where the little beast-family are situated, giving them as much space as possible.

Oh, it's also encounter check time as you travel north on the main drag.... 19 and all is clear.
Phillip is intrigued by everything they pass. He would probably be up for taking each one as they come, in order… (6, 7, 8, etc).

(we will say that Eku flew up the main drag alone and got the basic info about each location, that is how you all know about all of that)
Evo is with Phillip, check things as they come!

The rest of the camp has since been looted.
