The party has successfully defeated the undead who made their way into the Chult city proper.  Upon examination, they see that there are upside-down blue triangles on their foreheads – this is the mark of Ras Nsi’s evil undead army.  Ras Nsi was a paladin who betrayed his oath and used a skeleton army to destroy the land. Super great guy.

The next day, they prepare to head into the jungle.  Azaka is able to lead them to Firefinger with perfect precision.  She offers the party a choice.

1) week to Firefinger via the river OR 2) 16 days around the river through Grung territory (pesky, poisonous, evil frog men)

After expressing an extreme amount of dissatifaction at Azaka for even assuming that they would choose option 2, they decide on the 1 week route.

Day 1 through the jungles of Chult — Uneventful

Day 2

The party gathers fruit as they travel.  Maracuya is a fruit native to the jungles of Chult (Fun fact: Maracuya is an alternate name for Passion Fruit).  If it is wrinkly, it is safe to eat. If it is not wrinkly, it is deadly.  The juice can be used as poison.

They happen upon a herd of brontosaurus.  Kanye is able to have a very pleasant conversation with one of the grazing dinos.  They helpfully tell him that there are monsters in the jungle. Speaking of monsters…

ENCOUNTER – 20 zombies approach

• Honestly, took very few notes on this battle.  Suffice to say, everything was killed.

After dispatching the zombies, the journey through the jungle is uneventful for the rest of the day.  They find a cave and rest for a night. In this cave, they find the body of a dead Tabaxi and rhino. Out of respect for the dead the party bury the body.

Around the campfire, there are some rather heated discussions surrounding whether or not Bill and Clarice should be allowed to sleep in the cave.  Is Clarice really tame? Bill farts a lot…etc.

During this discussions, Galliard has dug up the Tabaxi corpse, reanimated it, and disguised it to look like Elgard.  He proudly shows it to the group.

It is disgusting.  And everyone hates it.  No one hates it more than Elgard, who, without much delay, casts a Level 2 Chromatic Orb spell and blasts that Tabaxi body into ash.  So much for respect for the dead.

This causes a much needed discussion about voting companions in the group.  A vote is held immediately.

• Bill the Triceratops AYE
• Clarice the Raptor AYE
• Zombie Companion NAY

Also, Kilgore’s name is Allison…but no one cares because she figures out that GALLIARD WAS DISGUISED AS ELGARD FOR THEIR ENTIRE BOAT JOURNEY. WHAT. THE. HECK.
