[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 7819034, member: 59816"] Not long after the Sticks left the Tabaxi village, they were back on the murky water of the Aldani Basin, but now relearning to travel with the reedboat canoes. Miss Imogen found it very difficult: it appeared that the catfolk had longer arms than her, and sat deep in the canoe where she had trouble reaching her paddle to the water. To make matters worse, for her to sit higher (by piling up supplies under her) then that made the watercraft dangerously unstable. She quickly found herself swapped out into the tabaxi's boat in the central, passenger's position, and Myrral kept making strange purring noises at her, which she was not sure what they meant. The group made good time, following the eastern 'coast' of the basin, (if it could be called that, the waterways made ways in and out, and they were carrying the canoes nearly as often as paddling them) and they covered nearly twenty miles before they stopped to camp on a muddy island topped by a lone ancient and twisted tree. They saw many birds, snakes, crocodiles, and some very large flat-snouted beasts (hadrosaurs) that swam past in a herd, and then climbed out of the water and bounded off into the jungle while making loud honking noises. The following afternoon, they reached a spot where it seemed reasonable to stash the canoes while heading inland to find the Heart of Ubtao, as had been discussed the night before. Today, it was solidly raining, and to make visibility worse, a mist shrouded the basin so that the rain seemed to travel up as much as it did down. Still, they had seen the Heart the day before, floating above the jungle, and Hup'lo was confident that he could lead them toward it. They stashed the canoes and made their way on foot through the jungle, hacking at vines and following dry(ish) creekbeds. It was hard going and they had to backtrack a few times when Weed tried to take them on a path that only he could follow, slipping between vines over a foot-thick with only a few inches between them. The tabaxi were happy to go over obstacles that were near-impossible for the humans to climb. Still, they moved forward hour after hour, mile after mile. Late that afternoon, with the hope of reaching the Heart early the next day, there was a roar from not far off in the jungle. Then the trees began to sway at their tops and the group scattered into the thick underbrush to hide as an enormous ape burst into view. The creature was wide-eyed in anger and terror and it spun about, trying to shake something from its back: Ghouls. There were three man-sized ghouls on its back, tearing and biting at its flesh, and four more came through the ferns, chasing the enormous beast.
