The Chronicles of Risan: Part the Second

Well, I made the list of the Emir's "Most Heroic", and as a "reward" for my anti-slavery efforts was put in a ship with other heroes and told to go off and find stuff for the Emir. As well as Reed and Hamil, we were joined by Alrick (Human Warlord) and Lia (Half-Elf Warlock) as officers on the good ship Two-Fingered Salute, a warship. With us was the Threefingered Adversary, a supply vessel, and another warship, Neptune's Fury. I was the ship's navigator...

Somehow, we go piloted into a storm, and lost Neptune's Fury. However, we did find it on a nearby island we were heading towards, wrecked. Half the crew survived, but their makeshift huts had been attack by fire that seemed related to some big bright thing up on the hill. Being the heroes we were, we set out to investigate.

One day into the jungle, we were beset by LizardFolk. A pitched battle ensued, in which I once again became bloodied, but eventually our might proved mightier than their might, and we didn't even have to kill all of them! We set out for their village, another two days travel.

Once there, there was a river filled canyon across. The others went down the side, across the raging river and up the other side again. Why they didn't decide to cross the rickety bridge that barely bore my weight I don't know.

On the other side, we confronted the shaman leader and the ziggurats his people built, complete with large fire dealing orb. A deal was negotiated whereby we got some of the land and they didn't kill us. To cement good trade, we would need to locate a large crystal orb, but that's a quest for later. Having avoided another battle, we roleplayed ourselves to a premature end of the adventure. Huh.
