Ghoul under the black jungle: a cleric of Wyshalar, burried with five Ghost Touch arrows made of serren tree
Digging into the soil of the black jungle, the party finds a tomb, a treasure chest, a chain attached to an iron ball, a copper ring, and a wooden, white painted horse piece.
Gino puts the ring on, and it immediately digs into his finger, drawing blood. A voice screams frantically: "PIG THIEF PIG THIEF, Steal my pigs will you, well, TAKE THE STUPID RING. I curse you to eat only pig from now on !"
The chest contains more coins stamped with Labelas' face, as well as a piece of parchment written in Dwarvish:

In the tomb they found an ancient body, holding a holy symbol of Wyshalar, an obscure goddess of survival. A bow and bundle of five arrows lay at its feet, made of a strange striped wood.
Exploring further, they find another jungle room, with watering cans and a silver box hanging from the trees. Inside the silver box is a strange, fine dust. A shadow attacks but is turned away.
Finding a bridge over the river, the party finds a room of statues of queens and princesses, behind which was found a large tomb, decorated with serpent motifs. Opening, a man arose, his head smashed in, wielding a pale blue sword, and wearing a golden necklace. "I a Jorg the Defiler, chosen of Kezek, now you will die for him!". However, Cleric Ködel charms him, gaining a new ally.
Jorg explains that he was chosen by Kezek, given the sword to him personally. Someone mentions the lizard shrine, and Jorg immediately heads there, jumping into the river and climbing onto shore. As the party joins him, he remarks that the temple is no longer holy - the holy serpents having been slain. The party mentions a potential shrine beyond the falls and Jorg states simply, "I have no place there."
Ködel ask Jorg to remove his necklace, and as he does he collapses. Go-Fire grabs the sword, but the serpentine motifs on the hilt come alive, bitting him and injecting some venom. Ködel takes the sword though, without being bitten, and grows gills as he wields it.
