Died and has a different soul. - Punchy - Kenku Samurai who wants to fly. (what else?) - Warryn - Gnome druid who wants to be a big beast. - Ogechi - Shadow magic human sorcerer / warlock tied to the Eshowdow. - Huitzillin - Paladin of Ubtao. (more background) - Logri, a Forest Gnome Rogue who grew up a street urchin in Calimport. Sneaky and smart, he unfortunately wasn't good at picking pockets at a young age and was caught with his hand in the pouch of a greedy Dragonborn Sorcerer. Luckily, instead of being blasted at that moment, he was given the opportunity to work for the Sorcerer instead. The Sorcerer has his eye on Chult, specifically the Forbidden City of Omu. Logri has been sent to map the city for the Sorcerer and return with a report of what can be exploited. You could say he's working for an Unscrupulous Real Estate developer. ## What is the strong start? At the waterfall. See the King of Feathers destroy another group. ## What scenes might take place? - Descending the waterfall - Vision of Acererak - Nanny pupu and the sisters - Papazotl shrine - Ruined bazaar - Royal palace ## What secrets and clues might the characters uncover? - The yuan-ti seek the puzzle cubes and already have one or more in possession - The King of Feathers is a psionic t-rex.
