:The lizards wake as [[Gitzosk]] wakes them. He takes them to see [[Guk]], he's wearing a shawl of black feathers. He is striped with yellow and green, with a maroon eye. 
:[[Guk]] calls [[Resk]] a coward for not being there, then tasks the group to retrieve food. The women need food to guard against [[Neptor]]. He wants mammals for eating - five, good-sized animals. 
:Another lizard person, [[Jiux]], overhears the group and questions the adventurers question [[Guk]] being the murderer of his father.
:[[Xiuh]] determines it will be dry and cloudy all day.
:The group heads out and encounters an acidic snail, which they kill. 
:There is a effigy in the woods of a scal-ess with a gorilla head.
:The group kill a tiger by the river.
:Then, a scal-ess emerges from a nearby cave, followed by its friends. They kill [[Carek]], but eventually the group slaughter the evil scal-ess. 
:[[Xiuh]] picks up the shaman's magical staff, a skull filled with a rattling substance. A voice speaking a different language that [[Xiuh]] can still hear is heard in his head. The voice can't feel [[Xiuh]] until he says his name. It identifies itself as [[Sterrik]]. It feels very reluctant to be put down. The group all put their hands on it and calls itself Stick-Rick. 
:They tell the stick that they want to find [[Shresh]]. 
:There is a small scal-ess near the back of the cave. There are cave paintings, beds and fire here. The cave paintings show a zagaraut with people. She says stecksor. 
:The group make a meat sledge and intend to rest in the cave, then eat [[Carek]]. However, the bodies rise as undead. [[Xiuh]] kills them with fire. They rest.
:Pushing forward, they see another statue. The statues is smaller, but it has a head dress and blocky design. There is a stick in its hand, engraved clothes. It has shiny eyes and [[Ato]] wants to gift the stone to [[Resk]] and becomes 'shiny stone' group. [[Ato]] climbs up on the statue but can't get the stone out.
:Stick-Rick gives the impression that he may have done something bad and gotten cursed to be put in a staff. The creatures sees through the animal, mammal skulls eyes. He might be in a goat head. Everyone thinks he's dead, but he was a powerful spell caster before. His lord was great in power and short in patience. He was skimming.
:It informs [[Xiuh]] that to the north, there is somewhere where there are lots of scal-ess daggers - metal. 
:Stik-Rick sees the child, and asks why the group intends to eat her. He says that the lizardfolk could bargain with scal-ess for resources.
:There are four gem-eyed statue, this one being the southern statues. 
:The group heads north and finds a pyramid. The door is at the top of the four pillared rooftop. This is [[Tak-Ha]]. There is a scal-ess near a small camp fire, two dead black-scale lizardfolk and [[Shresh]] badly injured, captured in a cage. There are five more scal-ess moving towards the shrine. There are six horses hobbled nearby. 
:The man is cooking a chunk of black-scale over the fire. 
:The group assault the watcher, free [[Shresh]] and steal the horses. [[Juix]] raids the camp.
:[[Shresh]] wants to kill the scal-ess, but they are not the actual ones who are guilty. He wants to get a mouth full of poison and spit it in [[Guk]]'s eyes, then put [[Chief Vuk]]'s mate, [[Guk]]'s mother, in charge.
:The scal-ess are called 'corsairs'.
:[[Shresh]] seems fascinated with the tiny scal-ess. He says that all the knowledge is inside the scal-ess body, and he wants to open up the little girl. 
:[[Nep-tor]] will be coming soon. 
:[[Shresh]] says that the bird call we heard earlier is an omen.
:The group return to camp with six horses, a scal-ess child, the dead body of a scal-ess man and leave [[Shresh]] outside of town.
