Briefing and Knowledge
Dangers in the area include Pirates Poisonous creatures such as snakes and spiders (it will be jungle time). Rare elementals Rare (lately) orcs Rare Drow Slavers. More pirates. Ant people. No orcs seen recently.
The village has about 400-500 inhabitants, of which there were 2 or 3 nominally acting as a defence force. It has a wooden palisade (mainly to keep out the dangers of the jungle). This did not work well against pirates it must be said. Civilisation. It never lasts for long. The village is up the cost from the Drow city to the south. Nominally, it is under the influence of the Greek cities to the north. Nominally, there are village elders in charge. They have a few slaves. Jason's mother Rahi? lives in the village.
Outside the village There is a witch in the jungle outside the village called Janis. Demetrious also lives outside the village. [An obvious target for the pirates] Wood cutters Leather workers 10-15 fishing boats
There is a ruined fort on the point of the harbour; complete with tunnels; good overview of village. Pirates may be there as well.
The pirates arrived last week. About 40? Mostly human

It begins
We are portaled via mists conjured by Jason at midnight (at a time prearranged by Demitrious) We arrive, but all is not well. We are naked, on our backs, separated and thus unable to enjoy the nakedness. Unless of course you enjoy naked goblins, which I personally don't, although I suspect that some of our party would. I was only being attacked by one, who attempted to cut off my balls with a rusty dagger. I kicked him off and that and the smite killed him. I then turned tiger to go and help the rest, as I heard a woman screaming. However, I was some distance away. Mim was tiger already (good thinking) and promptly ripped her attackers to bits, and then charged in and bit the head off of one attacking Mave. Tallima recruited them, proving a formidable goblin boss, although she will need to do do something about deserters. She confiscated a primitive spear. Aega disposed of some and captures a goblin attacker. Pug also took care of his attackers.
We located Jason (unconscious). Jason was brought round by Tallima suggested that the portal had been disrupted, perhaps by his death. We were obviously not near the village. We can see stars, however, and know we are near a river. Mim says she can fly us out, but needs space for take off.
The goblins revealed they had a camp near by. The party gets to the camp but finds it deserted with little left. Mim and I pursued goblins killing as we went so we/the party could retrieve their items.
