# FEAST OF THE RAPTOR QUEEN
## ADVENTURE SYNOPSIS
The Players are in the paradise-like lands of Hincona during their annual Feast of Tribes. It is a celebration of the year’s blessings and a time for looking forward to what good things the next year will be. The celebration always wraps up with the Hinconans sending a peace offering across the Luminous Straight to their neighbors on the Island to the South and vice versa. Culturally, the two Islands have never gotten along, but have also never been at open war. But when one of the tribes is suspected of kidnapping a local village, war seems a likely outcome.

## PLAYING AN A.O.G. ADVENTURE
If you’ve never played an AOG adventure, I thought it wise to give you some notes on how I write them. Cuz I do some stuff non traditional like. I’ll put those notes down in the Appendices.
## PROGRESSION OVERVIEW
This is a fairly linear adventure. And while there is room for *wandering off*, the overall flow is pretty straight forward. It starts with a local Festival. Turns out one of the tribes hasn’t shown up which is very odd. An investigation reveals that they were likely kidnapped by Grung who live across the Straight on the other island. The adventurers head off to rescue the villagers only to find out that they have already been traded to the Lizard Folk tribe to the south. The clock is ticking as the party races south to stop the Lizard Folk from devouring the villagers in a celebratory festival of their own!

# SETUP INFORMATION
### SETTING
**Hincona**, the land, is made up of two major islands, the Northern and the Southern. The two islands are dramatically different in ecology and society. In both cases, the tops of the mountains here are always covered in thundering storm clouds, although the islands themselves have weather systems that do not reflect the raging storms above them. The north island has some of the fairest weather imaginable, sunny or partly cloudy throughout the day with light rain overnight, and is considered to be something of a tropical paradise. The South Island typically has clear nights and has heavy rainfalls on and off throughout the day in typical rainforest fashion. Unlike the North the South, while equally beautiful, is considered extremely dangerous if not deadly to most folk. The strange weather and ecological differences have led many to believe that the islands themselves were artificially created in some magical process though no one knows for certain.
The nation of Hincona is located on the Northern Island with dozens of large villages and smaller settled areas on its shores. Long ago the island was settled by Sea Elves who longed to return to the surface. However, once there they found that they did not care for the civilization that mortals had wrought onto the land. They found it wasteful and a disrespect to the waters that they believe birthed life. And so they traveled back to their home, but found no welcome there. Wandering the sea and shores for many years they eventually settled on Hincona. The settlement grew and attracted many Elves and other folk from the “civilized” nations who shared the Sea Elves distaste for structured society. In Hincona a family is responsible for their own survival and expected to take only what they need. If they cannot care for themselves they are to paddle a small canoe out into the waters and let the ocean reclaim them.
Hinconians happily interact with the rest of the world, and allow travelers use of their bays and ports for stopping to resupply. But they accept no one into their culture unless they vow to live freely and cast off the trappings of society. This has led nations and those ignorant of their ways to believe them easy targets for raiding and capture. Many a vessel of slavers and even a few armies have found themselves drowned when an angry storm drives them back into the wrath filled sea that has risen to protect Hincona. Hincona’s tribes live relatively close together and function as one although each is led by their own Druid. An Arch Druid lives up in the mountains and is said to sleep until the sea warns them of danger. Every ten years the wisest of tribe leaders cast lots to decide who will take a journey into the mountains to check on the welfare of the Arch Druid. The one who travels to the peak never returns. The Hinconians believe that they become one with the storm and continue to protect the island.
The Southern Island is populated by numerous tribes of more savage and even feral beings that are almost in conflict with one another and in many cases themselves. Clans of Gnolls, Lizard Folk, Orcs, Grung, and other beastial creatures have carved out territory across the island and ferociously protect it from outsiders. Each governs themselves by their own standards, but usually in a “might makes right” fashion. The land itself is also filled with dangerous predators and hazardous environments. There are scattered ruins covering the landscape, but they have been long picked over by the locals or those willing to brave the dangers in search of treasures.
### BACKGROUND STORY
It began as all things do… with the Sea. The waters were angered by those that refused to honor them. And so they raged and rose against the land washing away the contamination of the abusers. The Sea then sent her children to populate the shores of what remained behind. She sent those that loved peace to the North and those that loved conflict to the South, so that both Her aspects would be displayed for those that would dwell in her presence. So that all could see both Her kindness and Her wrath. To better guide mortals along their path, the Sea called out to the Druids. She beckoned them to come and guid the people and to serve as her voice. It was then that The Great Druids appeared. We do not remember their names, nor anything about their forms. Only that they were the messengers of the Sea’s goodness and the harbinger of Her anger. These Druids raised up others to lead the Hinconian people, and once the people had learned the ways of the Waters the Great Ones traveled up into the mountains and have dwelt there ever since.
### HOOKS
- Main: Random People are missing HELP!
- Backup: Someone they personally know was taken!
- Backup Backup: HERE TAKE SOME MONEY!
### IMPORTANT LOCATIONS
More detailed descriptions and maps, if there are any, can be found in the Appendices.
- **Hinconna**: The Major Port city of the island. The only settlement that functions like a typical city. The rest of the settlements on the island are villages of varying sizes.
- **Grung Rock:** A large stone rising out of the swamps in the Southern Island. The Gratttbbt Grung Trib live here, and consider the stone sacred.
- **The Abandoned Ziggurat:** One of the most well preserved of the ancient ruins on the Southern Island. The Sharp Tooth Lizard Folk hold religious ceremonies here.
- **Sharp Tooth Lair:** A cavern at the far end of the valley between the mountains that the Sharp Tooth Brood reside.
- **Cackling Rock Stronghold:** A fortress of sorts built upon some rocky crags. The land around the stronghold is fairly desolate, a reflection of the Gnolls lack of care, and one of the only places on either island not covered by rainforest.
\page
### IMPORTANT NPCs
I will give a little better description and provide necessary Stat Blocks of these NPCs in the Appendices.
- **Hincona Elder Druid, Aralias Wavewalker:** The current Druid Elder of the North.
- **Hincona Grung, Oubu:** This is a young Grung Ranger that the party could come across. He is part of the Northern Society and will be quite helpful, and the party could recruit him.
- **Grung Chieftain D'Deehb:** Leader of the Gratttbbt Grung Tribe. He is big and girthy. More Bullfrog than Treefrog in appearance.
- **Queen Psasssa Gold Scale:** LizardFolk Queen. She is twice the size of a normal LizardFolk, and rides a Raptor large enough to support her..
### IMPORTANT FACTIONS
I will give a little better description and deeper information in the Appendices.
- **Hincona:** Think Hawaiian Islander culture. Majority of the population are Sea Elves, another good chunk of the people here are “ocean” themed cultures. It is a nation of small tribal villages each led by a Clan Druid. These Druids hold council to rule the land.
- **The Gratttbbt Tribe:** A large tribe of Grung that hold the swamp lands on the Southern Island. They don’t like outsiders but aren’t overly aggressive.
- **The Sharp Tooth Clan:** A highly aggressive clan of Lizard Folk who have tamed Raptors and use them as battle mounts. They are currently the dominant culture on the island.
- **The Cackling Maw Pack:** A group of savage Gnolls that tolerate no infringement on their lands. They also fight amongst themselves regularly, which keeps them from becoming the dominant faction on the Southern Island.
## OPENING CUT-SCENE
> "The blowgun dart zips through the air and makes no sound as it pierces the neck of the target. Thinking it a biting insect the victim slaps the spot where the dart hits. Pinching the dart between their fingers the individual pulls it free and attempts to examine it, but it is too late. The toxin has already begun to overcome their nervous system as their eyes roll back and they topple over paralyzed and unconscious.”
```
```
## ACT 1: The Feast of Tribes
The players are in the “city” of Hincona. Which is a port town for foreigners. The actual residents live in dozens of smaller hut villages scattered everywhere on the Island. Hincona operates much like many a port town, and attracts all manner of people. It is monitored closely by the residents and their druidic clan leaders. They are here during what the locals call The Feast of Tribes. A festival similar in concept to American Thanksgiving. So there will be a lot of food and drinking and happy social interaction. There may even be some fun competitions happening. Check the Expanded Lore section in the appendices for more information on the Festival.
This Act is designed to do character intros and any other businesses they may have in a town before the adventure starts. Hincona is a Port city so there would be a respectable amount of trade that happens here. They could find equipment and maybe some basic magical needs like scrolls and potions.
## ACT 2: Taken in the Night
Sometime during the festival, ideally later, once the party is done for the evening and ready for bed, a commotion will arise. One of the tribes up the coast has disappeared! They did not come to the festival which everyone thought was weird, so the elders sent a runner to see what was causing their delay. That runner has returned with news that the villagers (34 People) have gone missing and there were signs of a fight. This will prompt the elders to stop the festival and send scouts and or adventurers out to other villages to make sure there are no further threats. Our adventures will be tasked to help investigate the village of missing people.
Have them make appropriate checks once they get to the village. Survival, Perception, Investigation… They should be Medium Difficult.
**The Investigation should reveal things like...**
- Amphibian footprints are everywhere.
- Drag marks from bodies being taken away.
- Small Blowgun Darts with Paralyze poison on them. (Fading away so not reusable)
- The people were likely taken in their sleep.
*Ultimately they should be able to piece together that the villagers were taken by Grung. The only local Grung live across the Luminous Straight (Expanded Lore) on the Southern island. They questions is why?*
The Grung have never been a problem before and out of the three tribes in the South they are the most amenable to the Hinconans of the Southern Tribes. Unbeknownst to the Hinconans the Grung are on the losing end of a violent struggle with the Sharp Tooth Lizard Folk to their South. In order to keep the Lizard Folk at bay, the Grung have promised them a tribute of captives that will be eaten at a Sacrificial Feast. In order to keep from having to give up their own people they Grung crossed the Straight and took the villagers captive in the night. They then turned the villagers over rather than sacrifice their own people.
\page
## ACT 3: Southern Shores
The Party will have to cross the Luminous Straight to the North half of the Southern Island. The Southern Island is home to three competing tribes. There the Gratttbbt Grung tribe in swampy jungles in the North. The Cackling Maw Pack hills in the South, and the Sharp Tooth Lizard Folk tribe in the South East between the mountains. These tribes are far less civilized than the residents of the Northern Island, and do not get along well with neighbors. All are very protective of their territory, but the Grung are typically reasonable if approached with respect. Unfortunately in this adventure, they are the first problem the players encounter and will be a challenge to overcome without resorting to violence.
But before they deal with the Grung, they will have to travel to the Grung. The Jungle on this part of the island is low and swampy. Movement should be slowed by difficult terrain. It is also filled with all manner of dangerous creatures and hazards. I recommend them dealing with two encounters or hazards along the way. I have provided a Random d10 list to help. They should also encounter some Grung along the way at least once. The Grung will always attack and disappear into the Jungle, each time they will attempt to lead the party away, AND toward danger.
##### Swamp Jungle Encounters
| Roll | Encounter |
|:----:|:-------------|
| 1 | Swarm of Insects - They carry diseases |
| 2 | Quicksand |
| 3 | Toxic Plants - Cause the Poisoned Condition |
| 4 | Assassin Vines |
| 5 | Green Ooze - Only eats fleshy stuff not plants |
| 6 | Flock of Stirges |
| 7 | Vine Blights |
| 8 | Giant Constrictor Snakes |
| 9 | Giant Crocodile |
| 10 | Froghemoth |
**MAP: Jungle**
## ACT 4: The Gratttbbt Grung Tribe
After dealing with the Jungle the Party arrives at Gratttbbt Rock where the Grung Chieftain D'Deehb dwells.
**MAP: Grung Rock**
The Grung will hide nearby and under the water and await the command to attack. They party will have the opportunity to parlay, but the Chieftain will obviously be on edge. They are not an evil or a deceptive people and there is some remorse for what they have done. But in this instance survival drove them to the brutality of the event. What is going to complicate matters… is that the Grung have already turned the captives over to the Sharp Tooth Clan.
So here is how I see this playing out… feel free to vary this interaction.
- As the players approach, the Grung Chief and his some of his guards will emerge from the dens under the Rock and tell the players that the Lizards to the South have their people and that they should be on their way.
- This obviously will not settle well with the Players and they will almost certainly object tot leaving without answers
- The Chieftain will not give up answers easily, but if approach politely and diplomatically he may be persuaded to tell them what happened. This would be a Hard Check
- If the players are really savy they may be able to persuade the Grung to help attack the Lizardfolk and get some revenge.
- If Negotiations fail, the Grung will use the opportunity of the players attempting to be civil to launch an ambush
- Threats and intimidation tactics will result in the Grung attacking.
**ENCOUNTER: Grung Ambush**
If it comes down to a fight the Grung will attack from their hidden places. I wouldn't quite qualify this as a surprise attack, but perhaps give the Grung advantage on initiative. Their basic plan of attack will be to paralyze players from range and then move in for melee. If they win this fight they will not kill the players. Instead they will give them to the Raptor Queen as more tribute. This unexpected turn will change how the final ACTS play out and I have not accounted for this turn of events in this module. so if it goes this way... good luck...
## ACT 5: Trip Through The Jungles
The trip through the Jungle to the South is far less difficult physically than the trip to Grun Rock. The ground is far firmer as they leave the swamp behind. However the jungle itself is far more dangerous. Use the d12 table below if you need some ideas. If you get something a second time feel free to reroll or combine the event with the next one in the list!!
##### Upper Jungle Encounters
| Roll | Encounter |
|:----:|:-------------|
| 1 | Toxic Plants - They cause the Poisoned Condition |
| 2 | Assassin Vines |
| 3 | Flock of Stirges |
| 4 | Vine Blights |
| 5 | Giant Poisonous Snakes |
| 6 | Displacer Beasts |
| 7 | Phase Spiders |
| 8 | Flock of Axebeaks |
| 9 | Hunting Wyverns |
| 10 | Jungle Treant |
**MAP: Jungle**
\page
## ACT 6: The Queen’s Table
**MAP: The Ziggurat**
The Majority of the captured villagers have been taken to a forgotten ziggurat at the mouth of the valley between the two mountains. There is little of note about the place itself, other than it exists. It has been found and explored and forgotten many times since it was built and forgotten ages ago. I have nothing else extra planned here other than stopping the Lizard Folk. However, this location is ripe for some bonus content if you want to drop something else in! Also on the reverse side… if you are running short on time you can easily end the adventure here.
The Lizard Folk have brought their captives here for a Victory Feast of their own. The captives are going to be ritually sacrificed and eaten. Depending on how long it took the players to get here you may want to have the players catch the Lizard Folk in the act or even have some of the villagers already been eaten. Unlike the Grung there is really no way to resolve this encounter peacefully… but you never know what players may do. Typically, the moment the Sharp Tooth’s becomes aware of the intruders they will attack.
##### ENCOUNTER: Battle at the Queen’s Table
- 4 Warriors, 6 Hunters and The Raptor Queen up on Ziggurat
- Their Raptor mounts which will come in flanking the players from the jungle around them in round 2.
6 Lizard Folk Hunters will begin shooting while the Warriors and the Queen swarm down the ziggurat and attack the players directly. The hunters will not get into melee unless they have to. The moment the players get the upper hand, or the Queen gets badly hurt, she will retreat taking captives with her. As I said before, if you’re short on time, then the Sharp Tooths will not flee. Hop down to the Rewards section of Act Seven to give them the Queen’s Loot.
## ACT 7: Lizardfolk Lair
The Lair is built into the side of the cliffs about an hour west of the ziggurat. It is well hidden and very defensible. This is a short dungeon crawl that shouldn’t take more than an hour. The final fight may add a smidge to that if they’re trying to get optimal advantage against the Sharp Tooths. The cavern is very earthy, with roots and vines bursting through and holding the walls together almost everywhere. There are several places where natural light peeks through, but rarely is the opening big enough for even a small creature to squeeze through. The lair is filled with simple wind chime like devices made from bones and traps that are more intended to alert the lizard folk rather than hurt the players. Once they spot these things they can easily avoid them.
**MAP: The Raptor Queen's Lair**
### LOCATIONS
##### 1) The Cavern Entrance
The entrance to the cave is pretty easy to spot. Particularly in this instance since the Lizard Folk just made a beeline back here in an attempt to defend against the players. They will have prepared an attack for when the players arrive.
**ENCOUNTER: Raptors**
As the players approach this they will be attacked by Raptors while arrows rain down on them from 6) above. A Very hard check can be made to spot the archers on the ledge. Otherwise they obviously know the arrows came from above but the safest assumption would be from the top of the cliffs.
(You may want to use the Jungle Map for this one as there is more room to move around.)
**MAP: Jungle**
##### 2) The Lower Pool
This room is flooded from the rains. The pool hits 15’ deep in the center and shallows as the area heads west. The ceiling is low and only a few feet above the surface of the water.
##### 3) The Upper Pool
This room is much shallower than area 2), but the cavern itself is much larger. There is a large hole in the chamber near the ceiling which is 60’ above them.
##### 4) The Living Quarters
There will be a lot of Nests in this room. The majority of the Lizard Folk sleep here. They will not be here at the moment. They were either killed in the Ziggurat battle or are preparing to defend the Queen.
##### 5) The Great Hall
This is more of a chamber broken up by cavern walls and features. The entire area is decorated with trophies of things that the tribe has defeated. This includes some dino skulls and several hides of fallen Gnolls and Grung.
**ENCOUNTER: The Raptor Queen**
The Lizard Folk will ambush the players here attacking from both areas 6) and 7). They will fight to the death in this combat.
- Eight Lizard Folk (four on each side)
- The Raptor Queen
- Yellow Scale, Her Mount
**REWARDS: The Queen’s Treasures**
- The Queen is wearing Magical Hide +2
- Wielding a Spear of Bleeding +1 (If the attack roll made with this spear hits 5 or more over the targets AC they will take 1d4 Bleeding Damage per size level Medium and higher)
- And has a Necklace of Evasion (Ring of Evasion in Necklace Form)
##### 6) The Overlook
This is where the archers were firing from when the players attempted to enter the cave. They might find this and attempt to enter here. They will have to squeeze through the passages which the Lizard Folk will take full advantage of and begin attacking them there.
##### 7) The Throne Room
The final prisoners needed to be rescued will be here. Lizard folk do not keep much in the way of treasure, but the players might find some things here if their DM is generous. Maybe some particular item trophies the Queen has taken from adventurers who dared trespass here before. I think a magic helm sitting on a skull would be really kinda cool!
**REWARDS: Magical Helm**
- Helm of Protection +1 (Like the Ring but a Helm)
\page
## CLOSING
It is time to gather the survivors and head back to Hincona. You could take some more time here to do a few random encounters or deal with the problems that a group of villagers who have been through a harrowing experience would endure while traveling through a savage Jungle. However, I've found that doing things like that often belabor the point and end the Adventure on a slow or even sour note.
So I recommend having them head back right out. Upon returning have the Druids resume the Festival and make the party Guests of Honor. During this Festival they will be presented with many gifts.
**REWARDS: For returning the villagers**
- Citizenship, The Villages will be extremely grateful for having rescued thier people. Their first reward will be the title of Citizen to any who are not already. This is a huge honor to any outsider.
- Gold, 25gp per rescued Villager should be reasonable for their level
- An Idol of Good Fortune (Grants a Luck Roll as the Feat. Can be used by anyone in the party as long as one member is attuned. Has 10 charges, and then becomes a Semi-Valuable Trinket 50gp)

# APPENDICES
### PLAYING AN AOG ADVENTURE
#### Homebrewed World
First off, almost all my adventures are set in my Homebrew World of Taalist, particularly the Continent of Krenshad. Which the majority of has a very Gothic Art and Renaissance Period cultural feel to it. With some Greek and Middle Eastern Cultre from the same time period thrown in there for flavor. That said… Almost all of my Adventures can be easily ported into your location of choice. If you would like to play in Taalist my Campaign Guide (All 150+ Pages of it) can be accessed on our Discord for Patreon Members.
#### The Lay Out
I divide my adventures into “Acts”. An Act doesn’t necessarily reflect an amount of time, but more of an important series of events or locations. Some Acts may take 5 minutes, some 5 hours. Why? I dunno, ask the players who over complicate simple matters and simplify the overly complex.
#### Skill Check DCs
I don’t spend a lot of time defining DCs as I play with a bit wider scale of success and failures. What does that mean? So for reference the DC scale in 5E looks like this.... Very Easy DC5, Easy DC10, Medium DC 15, Hard DC 20, Very Hard DC 25, Nearly Impossible DC 30. When I list a DC I will tell you it is Hard. But Hard for one party may be easy for another so I leave the actual number value up to you. I also play with a “Success but with Consequences” mentality so if they get close they still accomplish their goal but there is a “but” to that success. An Example? Hard Stealth DC is 20, they roll an 18, I tell them “You sneak past the guard you see but the guard you didn’t see heard something and is headed your way.” I think it adds more to the story that way.
#### Search Checks
I often reference Search Checks. What is a Search Check? When the players want to “search” something or for something I let them use either Investigation or Perception. I know that isn’t RAW but it just makes things so much easier. I got real tired of explaining to players who have been playing with me for years the difference between the two… just let them look for stuff!
#### Opening Cutscene
I like to start my games with an Opening Cutscene which is read before anything else happens. These are usually really vague bits of information that give a glimpse into something that will maybe happen later, happened before the adventure, or is story adjacent to it. I have found these to be great tools to set the mood and create a little mystery.
```
```
#### Setting, Background Info, and Hooks
These portions can be used as you see fit. Each one is a little different, so it is hard for me to say how best to use them. Some will play better if you can get them into the hands of the players before the game. Others may have better influence when read just after the Cutscene. Some are really only relevant to moments in the story. But as in all things you do what is best for your game! That is always the way to go.
#### Skill Challenges
I use the idea of Skill Challenges a lot. What is that? It is an event in the game that isn’t quite an encounter and it isn’t a simple skill check. It is a problem they solve with their whole skill set. Typically they must get three successes before three failures in order to succeed in a skill check. The thing about a Skill challenge is they’re are vague on purpose to allow players to be creative in solving a problem. An example may help here.
> - DM says “Your Boat is taking on water. What would you like to do?”
> - Player 1 responds with “I use my carpentry tools to fix the hole” and they make a Tool Check. But they roll a 2 so they fail. Too much water.
> - Player 2 says “ wants to row harder with the crew to get us toward shore faster” They make an Athletics Check and roll an 18. So that is a success.
> - Player 3 “I use Destroy Water to get water out” OK, well it only destroys 10 gallons so it isn’t super helpful, but the momentary reprieve allows a little drywork to happen and allow player 1 to reroll.
Stuff like this.
\page
### EXPANDED LORE
#### The Feast of Tribes
The Tribes didn’t always get along as well as they do now. The Island and the Sea are both rich in natural resources, but that doesn’t mean mortal nature doesn’t get in the way. There was a moment long ago when the Hinconans almost went to war with one another. However the Elder Druids at the time instead created the Feast of Tribes. They called for all the tribes to gather and compete with one another in various games designed to test their skill and fortitude. There were races, weapon skill challenges, feats of strength and dexterity, and much more. The winners got the pick of the best resources for that year. The Feast continues to this day and every year the challenges are different to keep things fair and so that the Tribes cannot overly “prepare” ahead of time. The Feast of Tribes has kept the peace for centuries.
#### Strange Geography
Hincona is home to two of the World’s most beautiful and fascinating wonders. The Luminous Straight, which is the body of water that separates the North and South Islands. And the Thunderous Peaks, the two sets of mountains in the Islands that are constantly covered by Thunder Clouds.
**The Luminous Straight** is named so for the large amount of bioluminescent life that lives in its crystal clear waters, including huge glowing coral reefs that lay further below the water’s surface than coral normally grows. Many of the other inhabitants of the Straight glow as well, from small crustaceans and jellyfish to large predatory beast such as sharks. The Straight is a wonder to behold. In fact the light given off by it can be seen from many miles away. The light makes it quite easy to spot wrecks of invaders ships that lie scattered across the Sea floor and serve as a warning to those that think the Hinconan’s to be helpless islanders.
**The Thundering Peaks** are a unexplainable weather phenomenon. Both islands have a small but steep and tall mountain ranges. These mountain’s peaks are continually covered by Thunder Clouds, which do not rain. They rumble often and are continually light by bolts of arcing lightning. While not magical in the mechanical sense there is no natural explanation for their existence. Legends say they were created by the Arch Druids whom the sea called forth to guide the Hinconans to a balanced life. They also say that the Druids live there still in Mountain Top Shrines. Whether that is true or not, none know… for those that venture into the clouds do not return.
### IMPORTANT LOCATIONS
#### Hinconna
Hincona is the Major Port city of the island. The Hinconans are friendly to outsiders but do not wish to adopt their ways. Still, having a place that they feel comfortable is important to them as well, and so this is the only settlement that functions like a typical city. It isn't overly large as most of the non-Hinconans are travelers and sailors only stopping to make use of the safe port or trade in local goods.
Those that are permanent residents typically run service businesses to cater to the needs of all those that pass through. There is a large fortress on the cliff that defends both the town and the island should the need arise. Most Hinconans prefer to stay away from the city, but they all do appreciate the service it provides their culture.
#### Grung Rock
Grung are a strange folk. They are at home living simple lives deep in the jungles and swamps in lands no one else would really even think about settling in. These particular Grung have made their home in the tunnels under a large stone rising out of the swamps in the Southern Island. The Gratttbbt Grung Tribe have lived here many generations, and consider the stone sacred to their people. The Grung do not know it, but this stone is part of a large petrified Titan who was defeated eons ago during a Planar war. The rock poking its way out of the swamps is one of its fingers. If it could be seen completely, it would easily resemble a heavily armored warrior pointing toward the sky.
#### The Abandoned Ziggurat
There are quite a few ruins scattered about the Southern Island. It was at one point a thriving civilization, but that was before a tsunami wiped the culture from the face of the sphere. Now only broken walls and vine covered foundations remain. The Ziggurat is one of the most well preserved of the ancient ruins on the island. Currently the Sharp Tooth Lizard Folk Clan hold religious ceremonies here. They are drawn to it for reasons they do not understand. The truth of the matter is that the Ziggurat was long ago dedicated to Dengar the Night Serpent, and even though there is no discoverable evidence of the Elder Being's influence, it still holds some sway over cold blooded creatures and beings.
#### Sharp Tooth Lair
The Sharptooth Clan makes their home in a cavern at the far end of the valley between the mountains. Their lair is well hidden behind the heavy vines that cover the cliffs and the thick foliage of the Jungle itself. It is also well defended. The Sharp Tooths have domesticated the local Raptor population and the beast patrol the rain forest around the lair keeping it free of invaders and larger predators. The interior of the cavern is very earthen, and were it not for the tangled network of vines and roots may well collapse in on itself.
#### Cackling Rock Stronghold
Gnolls are vicious beings, that follow a more vicious demonic being. They also dominate the Western end of the Southern Island. Here they have constructed a fortress of sorts. Building wooden palisades and stone walls upon the rocky crags of the area. In their construction of their stronghold they have stripped the area of larger vegetation making it fairly desolate, a reflection of the Gnolls lack of care, and one of the only places on either island not covered by rainforest. They hunt in large packs and will immediately descend on any intruder they find in their territory.

### IMPORTANT NPCs
#### Elder Druid, Aralias Wavewalker
Aralias is the current Druid Elder of the North Island. She is Half Elven and old beyond reason, as many druids of her skill level are. She is a kindly but stern old woman who knows how to put her people first. The Druids of Hincona believe that she will be the next one of their order to make the trek to into the Storm Clouds to check on the welfare of the Arch Druid that resides there.
#### Hincona Grung, Oubu
Oubu is a young Grung Ranger (Level 5) that some time ago washed up on the shores of the Northern Island. He became fascinated with their way of life and decided to take some time to lear their ways. Soon after he decided to stay. The Hinconians welcomed him into their culture and he has been here several years now. The party could come across him at the Festival or during their investigation of the village. He will be scouting nearby looking for clues while they are doing the same in the village. If they are kind to him he will be quite helpful, and the party could recruit him. Oubu could be a very useful source of information for the players, as he knows his people farr better than they posibly could.
#### Grung Chieftain D'Deehb
Most Grung have a lithe appearance, like a Dart Frog or a Tree frog. The leader of the Gratttbbt Grung Tribe is quite unusual as he is big and girthy. He looks more Bullfrog than Treefrog in appearance, and his mannerisms reflect his nature. He is a bit of a brute and as stubborn as an ox. He does not feel remorse for having kidnapped and traded the Hinconans to spare his people. But he is also not keen on more fighting. He can be persuaded to help the players, but he will not be intimidated or threatened. He has had enough of both of those attitudes.
#### Queen Psasssa Gold Scale
Psassa is the LizardFolk Queen, and has earned that place by right of combat many times over. She is green gold in colorization with bright red eyes that seem to have an unnatural glow about them. She stands twice as tall as a normal LizardFolk, and rides a yellow scaled Raptor large enough to support her. She has a belt with the claws of all those that have stood in her way or opposed her rule. She is not open to negotiations with outsiders and will attack intruders on sight. She is not tactically reckless however. She will regroup at her stronghold if she finds herself in a fight she can’t win.
