[QUOTE="Abciximab, post: 5786767, member: 46017"] [B][CENTER]Session 26.[/CENTER][/B] Lamashan the 17th (Cont). We have decided to break off exploration and return to camp after our midday rest. I have spent our downtime studying and scribing some new spells from the captured spell book. We were greeted by Amivor who has declared tomorrow an official day of rest and recuperation for all the Pathfinder Camp. [Center]----------[/Center] Lamashan the 18th. It was a grand day of celebration and feasts for almost everyone, celebrating our successes in Saventh-Yhi thus far. I have spent the day studying and scribing, however. It shall take some time to get all these spells into my own books. At the end of the day Amivor covered some of the new discoveries made by the Pathfinder’s research. From tablets discovered in the Military District (Spear of Righteous Anger): [I]"Savith then cleaved the snake-god's head from its vile body in the very heart of his own Temple, and flung the Abomination into a pool of living fire. Mortally wounded, The Golden Hero was brought by her surviving generals to the surface, where she succumbed to the Snake Emperor's vile Threefold Poison. Thus and then this great city of Saventh-Yhi was founded, as a tribute to the great Hero of our People, and in memory of her Heroic Sacrifice that we may live free from the Yoke today."[/I] From frescoes and friezes in the Mercantile District (Spear of Wealth): [I]"And the Founders see it fit to ensconce the city in protective magics, should ever the fate of Her People fall to the wrath of the jungle. Enchantments meant to stave off the creeping jungle, preserve the buildings herein, and keep its location anonymous are protections against the Vipers as much as Nature itself.

No sign of the Sargaven Government yet. The spear on the central isle has been identified as the Spear of Honest Pride. [Center]----------[/Center] Lamashan the 19th. Now, it’s back to business as usual. We have returned to the central Isle to continue our exploration. Amivor has voiced the possibility of moving our camp to the central isle once it is cleared. Ace has voiced the opinion (to our little group only) that this location would probably increase the likelihood of conflict with the other groups exploring Saventh-Yhi. We agreed this seems likely as they probably want to explore every district as we intend, though we did not share this opinion with Amivor. We noted more carvings representing the Rakshasa and have deciphered what we believe to be his name, “Akarundo”. We also encountered many more of the primitive Serpent-Folk. The encounter started outside a row of buildings and continued on into the basement of the largest building. There (along with a bunch of Serpent-Folk) were a number of captured humans. Once the Serpent-Folk were defeated we spoke to the Humans and they claimed to be followers of one they call “The Divine Serpent” and that their camp is to the South. They all bear serpent tattoos on some part of their anatomy and tell us their goddess walks among them. We are not sure what to make of this though there is most certainly a rivalry between them and the Serpent-Folk. They also informed us of their great fear of a massive aquatic serpent that lives in the central pool on this island. We set the tribesmen free and went to investigate.

At first we thought it might be two creatures, but further observation proved it was a serpentine creature with two heads, one at each end of its body. An Amphisbaena, I believe they are called.

Max was a little disappointed that recovery of a suitable trophy was too troublesome to consider.
