Deciding that the jungle is still interesting as there must be at least a dozen species of blood-sucking insects that haven’t feasted on the party yet, the group returns to the village they stayed in last time. The villagers are almost used to strange armored figures turning up at all hours, and they are happily hospitable. Some vague directions are issued – “About a month that way” or “About two months that way” and the group is off and running in search of plunderables.
The journey through the new landscape is largely uneventful as Naima helps feed the party by instructing them on the fine art of foraging.
The progress is slow, however but the scouting reports of the bird-Barada help guide the group to the desired locale...

Deciding after all that plundering that the bloodlust was not quite slaked, the party presses onwards. Seeking and finding more doors, the party opens the first to reveal a ‘mad scientist’ laboratory, now partially destroyed and decrepit. Items of interest? A couple of portions. Threat level? Yawn.

The next door reveals a converted chapel, now some sort of op-center for (it is assumed) the Emerald Cobra (mayherestinpieces). Strategy, organizational charts, names, etc all neatly chalked up. Items of interest? Nada. Threat level? Yawn. Biggest threat so far is death by boredom.

The final door in the series is barred from the party’s side. Once unbarred, it opens onto a large room filled with stagnant water and a submerged and glowing star-shape...

Pausing to plunder the chamber of Dillerian horror, the group ventures into a hallway. At the first door encountered, voices re heard from within. When Reza busts through the door, he finds two abominably large snake-men waiting for him. The first instils in Reza a distinct fear of all things reptilian. This hampers the party’s plan of ‘let Reza beat them to death’. As Reza backpedals out the door he just entered, the snakemen follow. The first swings a curved scimitar to deadly effect and the second follows with a two handed sword composed of bones and imbued with an unearthly light. They exit into the hallway to do battle with the party. For starters, one turns the plucky hobbit into a garden snake. Reza is scared of that too and flees even further...
