[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7313711, member: 12731"] After thinking a bit on this. Keep the initial hook: "Oola has stolen my slaves, get them back alive, and get her back in any condition" Since Chult suffers from the "one-city syndrome" (you basically never go through the jungle anywhere, if you want to travel anywhere civilized you basically go by boat), this is what I ended up with. To bring Oola in line, her Boss, Kurtubal the Zhentarim, has poisoned her beloved Rien with a slow-acting but lethal poison. Rather than to submit/pay him, Oola intends to take Rien to a semi-legendary arch-apothecary called "the Queen of Nangalore" which she is one of the few that can find (up Olung river). To pay for this "Queen" to save Rien, she also rounded up two dozen prize slaves and brought them as payment. She obviously does not know the truth behind Nangalore. She thinks a Queen has a court, and that a court needs poets, masseuses, singers, expert craftsmen; just the kind of (highly skilled) premium slaves she picked/stole. For the Ziggurat of Meng, I'm cribbing on the time dilation theme already existing in Tomb of Annihilation. Just prior to Oola's passage, Meng materializes in an otherwise undisturbed patch of jungle in the vincinity of Nangalore; degenerates pouring out to explore/eat. I'm ditching the future/alien suggestion of the original module. Instead, I'm considering connecting Meng to Mezro (perhaps Meng was meant to be a watch outpost for the hidden empire) and to place a tuning fork somewhere inside the pyramid that can help Artus Cimber to find/travel to the "real" Mezro.
