Quest Summary:
Well…darn. The party was traveling on a small ship that was hoping to slip through before the winter storms hit. The captain, however, miscalculated, and the ship ended up stranded on a distant jungle island. After an attack by lizardfolk, the party decided to follow the beating of drums in the jungle to find their assailants, and deal with the problem. They discovered that the lizardfolk were Garyx worshipers who wanted to sacrifice people to their volcano god so as to encourage the end of the world to come sooner. The party slew the poisondusk lizardfolk with bloody slaughter, and discovered their otterfolk captives, saving them and earning their gratitude, as well as some sweet loot. Oh, and all the otterfolk tail they could want, as the lutrai are noted hedonists, and verygrateful.
