While we were wandering around the town, an old woman called out to Kim. The woman seemed pale and shocked by the fact that Kim, Ryotine and Faeron is alive. She said that the last time she saw Kim, Ryotine and Faeron were hundred years ago. She was surprised that those three looked exactly the same as they were hundred years ago. After a while, we noticed that the houses near the well was on fire. We rushed there and saw what caused the fire. It was a light beam from a far away mountain. It must have been some short of long range magic. Then, two light balls appeared from the fire and we started attacking it. Not long later, Evet, the magician shop owner in Jolton rushed out and stopped us. He explained that the light balls are not evil as they're light elemental creatures. Just as we were told, we stopped attacking it and it disappeared.
We decided that we should investigate the source of the light beam before Jolton gets burned down. A shady merchant approached us to sell us some flasks with green liquid in it. He said that the green liquid is an insect repellent that would be useful when we encounter swarms of insects in the jungle. Rohan sensed that he was lying so we rejected the merchant's offer. We bought some torches and alchemist fire from a merchant then Jinna gave Rohan a cure light wounds wand before we left Jolton.
As we head towards the source of the light beam. We entered a jungle. It was harder to travel in the jungle compared to forest as the thick undergrowth slowed down our movement and the trees were tall and huge which made it difficult for us to confirm whether we were moving towards the correct direction or not. We encountered an assassin vine but we changed our path slightly to avoid battling it. We set a camp fire and rested as the sun sets.
On the second day in the jungle, we met a swarm of locust. We attacked them head on with our weapons. Needless to say, we couldn't hit it and we were injured badly. It took us a while before we realize that they were weak to fire. So we used our torches and alchemist fires to burn them. After that, we continued moving towards the source of the light beam. We rested again in the jungle when the sky turned dark.
The next day, we were ambushed by a group of lizardfolk. We slaughtered them and we finally reached the source of the light beam. We saw a huge ziggurat across a bridge. We suspect that the light beam came from the top of the ziggurat. However, there were kobolds near the bridge and lizards at the other side of the bridge. We were afraid that the lizards who are guarding the bridge might disconnect the bridge if they saw us. So, we decided that me and Rohan will stealthily cross the bridge to kill the lizards then the rest of the party will come out of the jungle to kill the kobolds.
When I went near the bridge, I noticed that the bridge is extremely unsteady. Luckily I was able to cross it without falling. Then, I think Rohan slipped or something and fell off the bridge because I heard a loud splashing sound. One of the lizard went near the edge of the cliff to see what dropped into the river. I quickly sneak behind it and pushed it down to the river and quickly killed another lizard before it does anything. The rest of the party then came out to attack the kobolds. I told them Rohan fell of the bridge and Ryotine casted entangle to prevent Rohan from getting swept away by the river. After that, Faeron jumped into the river to save Rohan. However, Faeron couldn't move him because he was too heavy. Faeron tied a rope on his arrow and shot it up the cliff so that I can use the rope to pull them up. We successfully crossed the bridge. Now, to the source of the light beam!
