Episode 38

The party begins an encounter with the female great ape. Anthos separates from the group, throwing a fire bolt at the creature to allow the party to flee. Seeing Anthos attack, Jared follows his lead and shoots a crossbow bolt at the ape. It attaches from the knee of the beast into a nearby tree. As the Ape struggles to release its binds, it locks onto Seipora due to the scent of the lily oil on her. It goes to attack her, dealing a lot of damage to both her and Jared. Jared again attacks the Ape, disarming it and pinning it’s foot into the ground with another crossbow bolt.

A horn sounds in the distance, and soon a group of dark green Yuan-ti stalk out of the bushes and approach the party. The horn is blown yet again, attracting the gargantuan serpent to the scene. As it slithers closer the tribesfolk go on their knees to pray to the creature, and dripping with venom at the mouth, the snake strikes at the defenseless Ape as the party flees. After their hurried retreat, the party spends the next week traveling back up the valley. K is finally able to tame Kora, and they spend a night recovering in Jared’s tree fort. Lily talks to Jared about solar sails. (it costs 8000 gold to buy a ship, and you need a license to operate one).

After discussing methods to get back up the fissure, Hathy and Jared make a long rope ladder from the local plants. The party easily makes it up the tower as Yuan-ti approach the base. A majority of the party is sent up with help of Lily’s flying magic and some invisibility, and as the last person reaches the top of the fissure a horn blows from below. The forest floor rumbles as the gargantuan snake rises up and peers its head over the lip of the fissure. By now the party has fled, and so it lowers itself back into the depths of the valley.

While heading back into town, they lose Hathy. He leaves a letter for Seipora with details of his disappearance into the fey wild. He heads towards the sound of music.
