The party crossed 120 miles of jungle over the course of 12 days. They encounter the local fauna when 3 flying snakes sprung from the branches above. After outfitting themselves, the players set out into the jungles of Chult down the River Tiryiki toward the place Azaka believes they hold the mask, at Firefinger. The party ultimately requests Azaka accompany them. Azaka Stormfang offers to guide for free if they aid her first in a quest to retrieve a mask that was stolen by the pterafolk. Eku is a graceful woman bearing a staff carved in the likeness of a couatl. River Mist and Flask of Wine offer a good deal for their daily services.
They survey the billboards and interview four potential guides.
The players find that they can easily hire a guide for a modest fee. She tells them that they can find her staying at the home of an old friend, ], a merchant prince of Nyanzaru. Syndra Silvane teleports the players to the harbor district. Players meet up with Sindra Silvane, a retired adventurer who has fallen ill with the wasting 'death curse.' She has asked for help with locating the source of this plague, the Soulmonger, which her sources have told her can be found somewhere within Chult.
