Percy's Journal

* **Day 52**
	+ We arrived at Firefinger and waited for nightfall. Then, we quietly ascended to the peak. The pterafolk that dwelled there had a cruel yet fascinating culture that surely stems from the savagery of Chult. **\*Percy goes on to write a few pages of specific details of pterafolk physiology and behavior, and include some sketches of their macabre bone carvings. Fascinating info to be shared later with the Travelogue Society.\***
	+ Met and rescued aarakocra from Kir Sabal. He told us to seek Ashara and ask her for the gift of temporary flight. This will greatly aid our ability to explore.
* **Day 51**
	+ En route to Firefinger, we trekked through dangerous jungle where the undead were known to roam. Skeletons rose from the earth during our travels, and Danaj, our youngest porter, was slain. We carried his body to the river and buried him.
	+ ***Thieves' Cant:** Ras Nsi shall pay for this.*
* **Day 45**
	+ Trek to Firefinger begins in earnest. The river is the key.
* **Day 44**
* **Day 43**
	+ O.lunga! Behold! Passage to River Tath discovered.
	+ Wise Naga gave much wisdom. But to seek her we had to ascend a series of dangerous steps, each more treacherous and mystical than the last. Faith and courage and awareness of the surrounding flora and fauna are critical.
	+ ***Thieves' Cant:** Hold an Or.&Pur. orchid while ascending the first steps. Hold orchid and a red parrot tail feather to ascend second. Hit snake with orchid and caress with feather, then lie prostrate with mouth open facing the snake. Eat it to ascend.*
* **Day 42**
	+ Water low. No rain in several days. 6 in party go without. A slower pace to forage allowed us to recover.
	+ O.lunga beckons tomorrow.
* **Day 41**
	+ Nearing Orolunga
	+ Sightings:
		- Many ghouls
* **Day** **40**
	+ We scaled the plateau known as Mbala and gained a great view of the landscape. Atop the plateau, we encountered an old woman, Nanny Poopoo. She had a sinister nature and promised dark magic in exchange for helping her clear out some pterofolk. We refused her and returned on our journey west to Orolunga, where we hope to gain the knowledge of a wise naga. While camping that night, we met a frost giant woman in search of A.C.
	+ Sightings:
		- Distant flying airship seen crashing

***Thieves' Cant:** Spy infiltrated our camp. I sent the spy away, but expect to see them again.*

* **Day 39**
	+ Our party was waylaid by an onslaught of indigenous wildlife. Several crocodiles attempted to make a meal of us. This was compounded by an ambush of pterofolk, who dove unseen from the sky in a terrifying manner. With artistry we defeated them and burnt every last one to a cinder before fleeing westward from Camp Vengeance.
	+ ***Thieves' Cant:** A.C. sighted.*
* **Day 38**
	+ Arrived at Camp Vengeance. Woeful state. Morale low. Disease & starvation rampant. 10 anti-bug blocks & 1 healing potion provided, & a boar to placate the hungry. Poor drainage identified and solved, but aid is temporary.
	+ ***Thieves' Cant:** Intransigent leadership. Obtuse and arrogant. Camp collapse inevitable unless drastic change employed.*
* **Day 36**
	+ Acq. Vorn. Soon learned Vorn is deified by locals.
* **Days 28 thru 35**
	+ Encountered ancient temple dedicated to fable of Man & Crocodile. Upon exiting this temple, we encountered cruel members of a goblin tribe called "Batiri" (or ant). A previous party of goblins left us alone, but this group was more vicious. That night, they stole from our camp. The next day, we tracked them to their camp. Many goblins killed.
	+ ***Thieves' Cant:** To survive temple of man & crocodile, one person must ride upon the back of another and surmount each presented obstacle. Start door code at bottom.*
* **Day 27**
	+ Sightings:
		- Stone monument to Ubtao discovered at mouth of River Soshenstar. Place of safety for those who know the path.
* **Day 26**
	+ Returned to P. N'zaru
	+ Sightings:
		- V. Geddarm, inebriated & lonely. A sad sight.
* **Day 21**
	+ Arrived at Ft. Beluarian. Strange dancing fever afflicts some guards of camp. Met with Flaming Fist and
	+ Sightings:
		- Tabaxi hunger in distance
* **Day 16**
	+ Left N'zaru for Ft. Beluarian w/ 12 companions
* **Day 14**
	+ Arrived in Port Nyanzaru. Overwhelmed. Stimulating sights, locals.
* **Day 7**
	+ First page of Percival Blackstone's expedition into the unmapped lands of Chult. I speak now to whomever reads this passage, for it indicates that this journal has left my possession, or that my quest has failed.
	+ Departed from Aion under orders of the Travelogue Society. Lord Carovar Silvertongue stricken by deadly curse whose origin points to Chult.
	+ ***Thieves' Cant**: Note the more verbose passages, fellow rogue. Oft they contain clues on dangers I have encountered. Treacherous folk and deadly traps.*
