Before we knew it, we were surrounded by the 3 Frost Giants and their two wolves. Forcefully we regrouped and were finally given the promised conversation. First came the introductions, Alem, the strong bearded frost giant wielding a greatsword, the second male is named Syntas, a slender man with keen eyes. The third! ... My favorite! Drufi. (I love the way she yells at me.)

Surprisingly, they speak common just fine, and they are definitely convinced that it makes them "the good" frost giants! I believe that entirely!

We learned from them that they are on an important mission and came to Chult to defeat a man, a so-called powerful wizard who can cast a single spell to cause the death of another. This individual is named Artus Cimber and was also the one who stole that powerful ring, like Silkbite told us. It appears like the team came across this guy, and had two of their team members taken to find him.

Well, it probably went similarly! Because the sound of recognition made them aggressive. It seems like their travel to Chult was involuntarily, and it became clear when it seems like this man might be the cause for the destruction of the world. Yet he seems unrelated to our main objective. So many things keep wanting to destroy the world, don't they? Hahaha ... Have you people tried a hobby? Knitting? Something ... Else?

We arranged that IF we find this man, that we'll bring him to Shilku Bay where a ship with white, giant dragon wings await us. We are also urged to take along every item he has, not a single one may be left behind. With that, we separated ways, they head South, while we head East to Firefinger. We only came to this arrangement thanks to Arden's clever words. After they left, Smuck reunited with us and it became emotional, at least on Taban's side. (I'm quite sure that I heard his bones crack in that tight embrace)

In the afternoon we came across a group of undead that weren't dead enough to leave us alone. We made quick work of the fools and sent them back to the earth for another nap. (+306 EXP)

 

Day 65: Insect repellent 75 -> 74, incense 10/10 (Streth 0)

Well with the fog threatening our location on the map once again, we weren't too successful until the evening when we rediscovered our location on the map.

Day 66: Insect repellent 74 -> 73, incense 10/10 (Streth 0)

So we had an interesting encounter. We saw undead in the distance making countless attempts at getting beyond a hedge, and the interesting thing about it is that the hedge somehow keeps restoring itself. It didn't stop the impaled undead from trying either. They didn't pay us any mind, so we did them the pleasure to release them from their suffering at a good distance and well aimed offense.

Then we moved closer to inspect the hedge. Curious to find what is beyond it and the reason why the undead were so invested to get in. Vorn and I combined our epic giant forces to peek past the hedge only to confirm Arden's suspicion that there is indeed a maze. It's a wheel-like hedge maze in which the third layer contains an interesting mace, but it seemed to be within Grung territory. Beyond the maze there is a Grung settlement. Not the friendliest people to deal with, even if they are just frog people! ... We decided not to enter their territory.
