Session 4: Welcome to the Jungle
General Summary
So we wake up the next day either feeling great, or in Morthos’ case, terrible because he ended up getting lice. Me and TT head out for the day so she can buy some pelts and so we can hawk off the diamond we took from Tempura. Unfortunately, everybody in Serengeti knows this diamond and we soon learn it’s cursed. Being that I was the one who took it, I’m stuck with it until I either trick somebody into taking it or stealing it. The curse will simply bring nothing but bad luck my way and eventually lead me to an early death.
But thankfully, a kindly pirate tells us to seek out a witch named Milani who can hopefully lift the curse. Because I’m greedy and want to sell this thing, I’m all for this, but now we have to go traipsing through the jungle with a cursed diamond. We collect Morthos and head out after getting directions from a halfling who doesn’t know the differences between directions at all, got said directions corrected by a dwarf, and off we go. Immediately this trip is a disaster because TT and Morthos don’t have basic camping gear and keep making excuses like “well, we’re on a fucking boat!” and such, but kids, you aren’t going to be on a boat all of the time. Learn from their mistakes and get yourself some camping gear just in case.
We’re attacked often, get stuck in a storm, and just generally have an awful time because surprise, a cursed diamond will do that to you. We start realizing this is a terrible idea, but Owkbanok comes to our rescue as he decided to go out camping and being a proper man who knows his way around the world, is actually prepared as he bought gear. So he is designated as our leader for the time being because he’s clearly got his shit together. After collecting some more gemstones from creepy rock faces, we decide to call it quits on the jungle expedition and go back to Serengeti. We sell some shit, do a little shopping (cuz I broke my sword), and then I attempt to slip the diamond into somebody else’s pocket. Unfortunately, it comes right back, so we head out into the jungle once again.
Morthos gets to enjoy an all you can eat buffet when he’s caught in quicksand and after getting out, he understandably goes tree hopping to avoid another situation like that, but smacks right into a leopard. The two of them hit the ground and fight while the rest of us set up camp and eventually, Morthos is victorious. After more travel, we finally find the witch in her treehouse and this lizard person tells us she can lift the curse after we collect ingredients for a potion that she wants to give to someone. We’re given a long list of ingredients and don’t actually have too much trouble acquiring them aside from a cave bear encounter, but Morthos leg sweeps the fuck out of that bear so we can kill it.
We return with the ingredients and the potion is made. We’re tasked with giving it to a tiefling named Tonari in Serengeti, so we head back and find this attractive fellow. He takes the potion, smashes it on a wall, and runs off into the streets and we’re confused as fuck but let him go. We head back to Milani and she keeps her end of the bargain and lifts the curse, but also asks us to bring her this tiefling. So now we head on back to Serengeti to begin our hunt for Tonari.
