South-Western Aldani Basin
The Sticks and their allies worked their way back to their canoes by a circuitous route. They found them where they had left them two days earlier, and they paddled their way westward across the swampland. Miss Imogen dropped a paddle, and despite her protests, it was discovered that her hands were covered in blisters. This was not a result of paddling - she was sensitive to an airborne fungus that started out too small to be seen, but was soon found growing on nearly any damp surface. Kasqa did double-duty paddling Imogen's canoe while Chrysagon inspected everyone regularly for infection. Miss Imogen's hands were bound in bandages with a salve that Weed and Qawasha provided.
Two days later, they hid the canoes on what Qawasha assured them was the Basin's western end. Harb and Myrall scouted and watched from a concealed spot while a large, carnivorous beast with an oversized head and teeth stomped past them, swishing its enormous tail through the underbrush. Ukee was a godsend to Harb, flying overhead and spotting things that he couldn't see, he was safe to regularly stay hidden in thick foliage.
Myrall, however, ranged through the trees, hiding in the canopy overhead. This habit was practised by the other Tabaxi, to a lesser extent. Usually, it was safe enough, and very useful to have a scout other than the flying monkey that could see further over the jungle. However, on the day after they had stashed the canoes, Myrall was jumping from one tree to another and he failed to notice the second tree's unstable trunk far below. His very slight weight caused the tree to topple over, and he fell thirty feet through underbrush (most of which broke his fall). Myrall was not seriously injured, but still, he was sore on one side, and the pain lingered in an unnatural way.
That evening at camp, the group was forced to acknowledge that everyone was taking longer than they were used to in recovering from injuries. Chrysagon and Harb were not fully recovered from the incident with the giant ape, and Hup'lo was feeling old and worn.
The Death Curse was getting worse.

It had been raining hard for most of the day when the group found themselves in a low-lying area of jungle that had flooded. Myrall and Groll climbed trees to the south and north, respectively, to look for a way around the floodwaters, while Harb sent Ukee flying over the pool to see how far it was across. As the main group waited for the scouting to be done before moving on, the jungle suddenly began to move behind them. Three large skeletal-looking creatures made of rotting vegetation lumbered into view. They smelled terribly, and their hollow eyes appeared to be a nest for ugly fat black flies.

"More undead!?"
He looks over the brutes.
"Hey, rot brain, why don't you go bury yourself in advance?!" He calls out to the closest giant his words laced with magic after which he growls at the hunters and both of them reach for their bows.

Myrral:
Religion check: 1D20+1 = [8]+1 = 9 (undead?)
Action: Vicious Mockery
Psychic damage: 1D4 = [4] = 4
and will save DC 13 or disadvantage on the next attack
The hunters
Attack the same giant, 2x short bow: +5 / 1d6+3 piercing
Shortbow attack vs Z4; damage: 1D20+5 = [14]+5 = 19
1D6+3 = [4]+3 = 7
1D20+5 = [3]+5 = 8
1D6+3 = [2]+3 = 5
HIT for 7 and a miss (unless somehow AC 8)

Qawasha was feeling a bit despondent. He was beginning to suspect that he had gotten his bearings wrong, and the Death Curse becoming more potent was weighting down on him.
And now this?!?
"I will slow down the one in the back!" he shouted.
Action: Cast Entangle on woodrot at position AE6. Strength save DC 12 or be retrained. 20 by 20 area around the giant becomes difficult terrain (he will try to place it so that the giant is at the edge, not the centre of the zone, ie has more of entangle area to cross to reach the party)
OOC: I don't know if it's my monitor or if I'm color bind, but I don't see blue on that map, the bottom left of it is a dirty grayish green to me. not blue. Not a criticism, just peculiar).

Harb turns at the tabaxi's utterance, barely understanding what was said. But he has no difficulty understanding the brutish undead creature a short distance from him. Not sure gow to fight such a beast, he dashes in, and strikes at it's leg, following up with a pair of kicks for good measure.
Move: 20'(even at half-rate he should reach melee.)

“More bluidy undead,” Dellrak murmured, drawing his greataxe. He strode forward and drew out his spell focus, as well, casting a spell to protect him from undead.
Kasqa rushed forward, readying his spear, and drew up alongside Dellrak to fight with the dwarven ranger.

Myrall saw the creature for what it was: some sort of undead spirit that animated swamp matter into a giant-like form. He mocked it, but it did not seem to understand or did not care. His scouts fired their bows, and Brapp managed to strike one into the mass of rotting vegetation. Grrol was perched in a tree, and the branch bounced as he fired, throwing off his aim.
The jungle around the creatures wilted, as if they had an aura of rot. Still, Qawasha caused the jungle to writhe and entangle the creature that was furthest away, and it became stuck, if only for a moment, as the writhing vines too began to rot away.
Dellrak and Kasqa rushed forward to form a line of defence, stopping at the edge of a very large puddle. Harb was past them in a flash, and he kicked at the creature's leg. It bent low and opened its mouth unnaturally wide; a swarm of black flies exited the maw, bursting forth and biting in a terrible flurry at Harb, Dellrak, and Kasqa.
