Day 18

• The party stock up on items before setting off into the jungle towards fire finger, they go to pick up the canoes, they see a man arguing with a half orc woman, woman is demanding one of the canoes - proper Karen type, woman is wearing clerical armour of the order of the gauntlet, demands one of the canoes from the party, she is going towards camp righteous, scully suggests her coming with the party then cutting through the jungle towards camp righteous, her name is Undrul Silvertusk, she agrees to come with us
• The party begin their journey up river, the sounds of the jungle are 'an absolute carnage of uproar', the majority of the party are surprised as a couple of snakes attack from the tree branches ahead the river, the party deal with the snakes - Jaculi
• The Jaculi is a creature that Scully is studying for Volo, she takes the head of one to study,
• Rest of the day passes without issue
• As the party look for a place on shore to make camp, they come across a bridge of twigs that have been assembled by the eblis birds that are wandering around on the bank, azaka suggests we trade with them, turns out the eblis can speak, they want gems,
• The party find a good place to camp, first night is rough, insects & sounds, azaka tells the story of the eblis, Eblis (pronounced EH-blee) are thought to be reincarnations of evil humans who were punished by gods for acts of larceny and kidnapping. These intelligent, evil cranes loom 8 feet tall and lay eggs as mundane birds do. They can manipulate objects with their beaks and feet. Eblis try to sway other creatures into doing their bidding, and their plots are self-serving. They live to destroy creatures that offend them and delight in luring humanoids to an unexpected death. Eblis also like to collect treasure, which they sometimes use to reward those who serve them. They build crude huts and nests out of grass and reeds, wherein they hide their treasure.

• The party discuss going back to kill the birds as they are said to be evil spirits
• Percy asks baelin about his history, he joined solana and scully after mentoring with a wizard for a while after a magical tattoo manifested in magical powers, scully and solana were hunting vampires when they met baelin and baelin decided to go with them, scully and solana are researching how solana's vampire father was able to create a mortal child,
• A swarm of quippers follows behind the boat a short distance but percy scares them off with his eldritch blast,
• Rest of the day passes without incident

• Party stop in the evening when azaka spots a lake, she warns the party not to get too close, the party bed down to make camp and decide to set watches,
• baelin and temors shift passes without issue, solana and azaka's shift goes by without issue, scully and undruls shift comes around and they hear a faint buzzing, striges attack the camp in a swarm

• Nothing at all happens day or night

• The party spot firefinger in the distance, huge stone obalisk in the distance with a fire burning on top, nothing magical about the fire as far as the party are aware,
• Scully catches a glimpse of something red streaking through the canopies, bald headed pale man wearing long red robes, man vanishes soon after, azaka thinks red wizards of thay,
• The party are ambushed by 3 crocodiles, not giant crocodiles because that would be crazy at this point in the story, they defeat the crocodiles
