[title redacted] is making their way through the jungle a few days after their meeting with Bwayes O’Tamu, the weretiger. As they look for a suitable place to camp, Seraphina gets a bad feeling about their surroundings right as some arrows fly out of the darkness. The party is caught in a Batiri Goblin ambush! A giant log is thrown from the cliff to their right, bonking Rhan on the head. He is annoyed. Arrows come from all sides as Qawasha and Elgard are caught in nets from behind. Emerging from cover in front of the party is a tall stack of Goblins on each others shoulders – 5 Goblins tall wearing colorful wooden war masks, holding shields, and waving spears.

The goblins do a well choreographed war chants as they fight: “Stab stab stab! Kill kill kill! Each little Goblin eats its fill!” “Dagger stab! Arrow fly! Oh we loves to watch it die!”

Once the party gets in action the tide begins to turn. The stack gets knocked down and murdered by the front line fighters, and Elgard dispatches the cliff goblins with some well placed magic. Zyldi turns into a bear and goes into a murder frenzy. Nor and Seraphina take care of the front goblins as Kanye gets his bloodlust out on the ones in the rear. Zyldi runs into the woods and dispatches those goblins in her mama bear death rage.

After the battle, a surviving goblin is found on the cliff. His name is Yik Yak and he promises the party treasure if they let him live. After some tense negotiations, the party finds his treasure cache in the woods: a canoe and a jar of ointment. The ointment is magical, and it is discovered that when applied (as they do to both Kanye and Yik Yak), that disease is cured and 2d8 hp is healed.

Kanye wants to keep Yik Yak as a pet, the rest are mired in a moral quandary about letting an evil creature go free verses going back on their word and killing him. Rhan decisively grabs Yik Yak out of Kanye’s arms and tosses him over the cliff. As Yik Yak falls, a slow motion montage of his life plays over some sappy music before he splatters on the jungle floor below. The party continues their journey.

A few days later they come to a massive sinkhole. The skeleton of a large dragon is deep in the pit and there is lots of wildlife around (frogs on lily pads, fish in the water, etc).

Zyldi reaches out to the surrounding nature and can feel that there is the presence of poison in a particular area on the wall of the hole. She is also able to detect magic near the same spot. After some sleuthing, it is determined that this is where the Dragon kept her stash.

After trying a few things, Galliard casts “Knock” on the wall, causing the secret door to open. Beyond the door is a small cave filled with treasure and magic items.

Galliard and Kanye go into the pool to try and get some teeth out of the Dragon’s skull. Kanye is unable to lift the massive skull out of the muck, but they are able to pull a tooth out. As they do this, swarms of small carnivorous fish begin to attack them. Gal jumps on Kanye’s shoulders and they run out of the water to safety. 

After two more days travel the jungle thins out as they approach a massive plateau. A village is carved into the side of the plateau, and Aarakockra can be seen flying around it. The party approaches the plateau and prepares to meet the Aarakocra of Kir Sabal.
