I hear them. Hunting. Hungry. Always hungry. I'm safe for now, but it's only a matter of time before they find me.

Why did I argue with that stupid, loud-mouthed djinni? I thought he was just a showboating idiot. I never imagined he'd send me to Chult. I read stories about this place as a child. I thought it was a wondrous land teeming with exotic beasts.

But it's a hellscape of venomous snakes, insects, and scaled monsters that hunt me, day and night. I've kept them at bay with wits and magic, but I can't keep it up.

The monsters guard a portal - where it leads, I don't know, but even if I find myself in the fires of Avernus I will claw my way out of it, find that circus, and burn it to the ground.
