It's a tense period, as you set off into the jungle. Still, being as Gunthar does know exactly what he's doing, you make good time. You head, somewhat to your surprise, north for half a day, rising steadily along the clifftop where the vegetation is somewhat less dense. Camp is at noon, at a beautiful spot overlooking Adder Bay, and lunch is relaxed. Then you turn east into the heart of darkness. Progress slows as each day passes, and you recognise that without assistance this trip would've been a nightmare. The weather continues dry for two days, and on the evening of the second, Gunthar expertly snipes a primate from the trees with his crossbow. Dinner is an exurberant affair, and - those of you who know - almost forget he's planning to betray you. Till he seasons its flesh with a speck of your trade goods. It does, you have to admit, taste better that way.<br/><br/>That night, the deluge.<br/><br/>The morrow is brutal, the jungle steamingly hot, thick and muddy, and you're forced north, as far as you can tell direction as you swealter. No direct sunlight filters through the thick canopy overhead. "That," Gunthar says, "is the path to Haka'torvahk and its riches. I'll take you there, if you wish," he grins, wickedly, "by the lies you told will cost you another fifty gold."<br/><br/>"You're probably wise," he grins as you demure. "I don't know the route south so well, but you'll get the service you've paid for."<br/><br/>The path winds and turns, and its hard to find someplace to camp, that night. It is mid-morning of the fourth day, by your map perhaps another two days march to the temple. Gunthar has slipped back for a moment, to see to the mules. The path is anyway clear - even bearing weapons, you have to hack back branches and intruding leaves often. Progress in any other direction would be nigh impossible. As you turn yet another corner along the overgrown jungle trail, you suddenly come across a well-armed, but short, pale-blue skinned lizardfolk standing in the middle of the path. He seems as surprised to see you as you are to see him. He eyes you warily as he motions to another half-dozen lizardfolk behind him.<br/><br/><img alt="Image" src="http://oi25.tinypic.com/denvom.jpg"/>
