Dwellers of the Forbidden City

You’ve spent the last several weeks traipsing through the hot, fetid Black Jungles of Tashalar, trying to complete a fat contact offered you by the Rundeen. While the promise of gold once you return to Tashluta keeps you going, your assignment has been anything but easy.
Raiders have been striking Rundeen caravans in large numbers, and rumors have reached the organization about a new serpent cult, dwelling in a long abandoned city within the jungle shroud. While no one has been able to track these bandits, the Rundeen has put a large price on their heads. They want this forgotten city found, and the raiders dealt with severely.
You’ve already lost both of your guides since you entered the jungle; one to a patch of quicksand, and another to fever. The heat, humidity, dangerous terrain and swarms of biting insects have taken their toll upon your group, with the exception of Sandor (who feels perfectly at home in this environment). You’ve been attacked by wild beasts, savages, and humanoids. The constant sounds of the jungles have kept you continuously on your guard, but you are beginning to get used to them…the cough of leopards, the buzz of strange insects, and the calls of wild birds no longer concern you as they once did. But you are all exhausted, and beginning to harbor thoughts of abandoning your mission.
Last night, though, your luck may have finally changed. You stumbled upon a village of the native hunters that dwell their whole life under the jungle canopy. The chief and shaman met your party, and finally, provided some answers to your questions. It seems as though the chieftain knows the location of what the tribe refers to as the “Forbidden City,” but he seeks your aid before he will reveal it to you. He tells you of the evil demon serpents, the yuan-ti, and their hateful goblin-like minions. They are raiders and kidnappers, and recently they took the chieftain’s son captive. If seems that if you are willing to rescue the son, the Chief Hoptai is willing to show you the way to the city…
