Bragging Rights

''After nearly 3 months of travel your exploration vessel finds land in the distance in the form of large mountain peaks and an active volcano on the horizon. As the ship draws nearer to land the shore reveals itself to be a dense forest of trees taller than any you've seen from the mainland.''

''You make note of the river and continue travelling north along the densely forested coastline. For a full week your ship sails along the long seashore night after night until the trees start to open up, still forested but less of a jungle and more spacious conifer forest, each tree closer to 4 or 5 feet apart from what you can see with little undergrowth in comparison to the thick biome you've passed beyond.''

You spot a huge waterfall gushing down this side of the mountain. A river formed at the base produces more swampy waters as you pass the northern cliff face. A huge wooly humanoid monstrosity with the build of a gorilla and the horns of a ram is spotted drinking from the river. It doesn't appear to pay any attention to the ship.

Rabban points to the waterfall and says"that gives clean water that we would need to survive" before seeing the large humanoid. He claps happily asking "Can we go meet furry man, maybe new friend?"

The ship's sorcerer replies, "A very smart insight, Rabban! Are you going to give Mr furry a big hug?"

"Do you think he would let me?"

Despite the simple mindedness of the warior orc Rabban the crew of 80 concured with the direction of their adventurers and landed the ship at first opportunity, a less densely forested area a few days around the thick jungle that arc's the mountains edge.

On to landing.
