The smell left us GRASSping for air

By the depths, this island smells. The stenches could almost make me gag. At least it is humid and warm. We continued further into the island which took some time to cut through. While we progressed, Torrielle was picking wild flowers when one jumped her! or at least something looking like a leaf attacked. The large bug vibed hard and resonated with us which hurt. We were able to kill it but the trees seemed to echo our arcane magic vocals. When I and Kalibek casted magics with verbal components, the bright plumed birds seemed to echo them around. It hurt Algar but when Kalibek healed, it actually help!
We continued on our way but with the sun setting, we needed a clearing to camp. Torrielle used a spell, her naturally magics seemed to be immune to the bright birds, to speak with the plants. The grass and trees led her to a clearing where we were able to make camp. She cut out some grass to put in her conch shell. I dont know what was going on but she was crying while she did it? Might need to check in with her. We talked amongst ourselves before setting watch. Kalibek dropped a hint that he still spoke with Fergus, his hallucinations. We confirmed that he is still seeing them. I informed the crew of my findings with Identify on the black powderbag. We only expressed our concern for Kalibek and he seemed to get defensive.
The night went by uneventful (as we know it but Stilga's watch was a buzzing good time). We continued on as the road traveled further up the hills. We made our way between two calderas to see a green valley below with a bright blue lake. We traveled along the ridge and found tracks of the crew heading further down into the valley but we also notice tracks, bare foot, that lead up a small path. There seems to be a few ways we can go. Which way leads to the crew of the Zephyr and which ways leads to more treasure? Maybe we can find both in the same path? We will have to go with the ... path...
