Lesson learned: don't smoke, kids. You become a weird creature with a phallic nose. Speaking of lessons, let's see if Biter learns his lesson for running straight into a room of firenewts. Barbarians, am I right?

With the Executioner's Run behind them, the party gears up and heads out into the jungles of Chult, following the leadership of their smooth talking, very suave guide: Hew Hackinstone. Will the party survive the adventure ahead? Will the tabaxi brothers finally befriend Biter? Will their volcanic destination swallow the party up in one large molten bloop? Let's find out!

Taking Strahd's advice (um, what?), the party hopped into the nearest shelter to avoid the heavy rain and dangerous night. However, will this windmill prove to be safe? Will Strahd be back to claim them? And who are these strange women?
