"Let us hope that it isn't some kind of infection, then. Because the best way to infect a new host is to bite- and I'd hate to see our companions transformed into horrors like that. Now what say we get back on the trail before something else shows up to see what the commotion is..." By the time she finished speaking, her voice had lost its shrill worried tone- at least for now.

Between Yoggrith's dark healing power, the gnome priest, and Morika's connection with the natural world, the wounds on the various party members are closed. [1 CSW and 2 CMW from Yoggrith on Sanne, 1 CMW on Aeranduil from Yoggrith, 1 CLW from Morika on Sanne, and 1 CMW from Sanadal on Sanne]
Ganyon and the two hunters once again take the lead and head out -- with Ganyon taking point, and the other two disappearing off to each side into the brush.
The gnome talks quietly with the artificier in the rear of the group, occasionally those in the main group can catch a word or two from the gnome,"This jungle certainly has taken a turn for the worse -- now it just isn't safe for an upstanding gnome to venture forth. Why, just the other day, one of my close friends came across some sort of beetle contraption while out digging for tubers, and then the creature just up and squirted him with alchemical fire I tell you! I'd never think the day would come where I would come to think of Stormreach as a safe haven of upstanding folks -- certainly never with those Coin Lords in power."
The conversation appears to be one-sided, as you can catch glimpses of an uninterested female half-orc's face staring off into the brush. Her homonculi flitting to and fro underneath the canopy of the jungle.

As the shadows grow longer, the jungle becomes more overgrown. Small pools of water litter the ground, and the native vegetation has overgrown the path in most spots. Blades are drawn by Ganyon and the others to clear a walkable path through the dense foliage.
Progress through the jungle slows down, as the guides are now having to blaze their own trail through the underbrush, you begin to hear more strange animals noises -- birds primarily, but an occasion screech or howl -- possibly a primate of some sort, or perhaps some jungle cat. It is difficult to say how close or far away they are, as the various leaves and vines distort the sound.

You hear a 'clank' sound from up ahead, sounds like a metal blade hitting something made of stone.

You hear a whistle from up ahead and look up to see Ganyon holding his right hand up in a fist, much like the gesture earlier when the tiger pounced upon the unsuspecting archer.
This time, you scan your surroundings and ready yourself for any unseen attacker.
A moment passes, and you hear Ganyon call out,"Oy, luuks leik we found somepin'."
He gestures for the rest of the group to come closer.
As you approach, you notice that in front of Ganyon is still a dense wall of foliage that continues upward into the forest canopy above you.
About chest high in front of Ganyon, still mostly covered with vines, is what appears to be a large stonework foot -- about 5 feet wide and 5 feet tall. You can make out a few toes where the Ganyon had cut away the foliage.
"Atsa biggie," He says as he clears a bit more of the vines away.

"Aerundil, I have known a druid that could cast the spell in that wand, but I do not know with certainty whether it is also one among the ranger tradition of nature magics. If not then we should pass it on to Morika unless there are any others among us who could use it. There are some who train specifically in unlocking the power of magical devices regardless of magical tradition."

Ipshivi kept her ears cocked for unusual sounds- and there were an awful lot of them. At the sight of the massive foot, she paused a moment, comparing the size of the stone form to her own- hopefully they wouldn't find any actual giants this size.

Still a bit rattled from the tiger attack, though trying hard not to show it, Sanne doesn't hear anything that would take an extraordinary feat of concentration.

"Anybody else want a look at this thing before our guide trims the rest of its toenails off?," Ipshivi chirped. The foot was an amusing tidbit, but the signs of living giants were what they were after.
GM:[sblock] Did the sound seem like it was where Ganyon found the statue-chunk (ie. that it was from his machete-strike hitting the stone?), or was it further ahead?
And while we're at it, Ipshivi will use her at-will Dtect Magic to give the stone a once-over.
