Handout A: Eeyal EEYAL k :L]DUGV RI WKH &RDVW //& 3HUPLVVLRQ LV JUDQWHG WR GLVWULEXWH WKLV SDJH IRU KRPH JDPH XVH
KWILGOK
Eeyal’s the name. I’ve traveled from the
Snout of Omgar to Fort Beluarian and
know the hazards of Chult well. I’ve seen
many astounding sights and visited
wondrous places in my travels. I carry my
own gear, have all the necessary tools for
survival, and leave nothing to chance. I
don’t believe in taking unnecessary risks.

My fee is 5 gold pieces per day. I will
also accept an up-front, non-refundable
payment of 40 gold pieces for a tenday.

I strongly recommend that you purchase
a charter of exploration at Fort Beluarian
before heading into the jungle. Fifty gold
pieces is a small price to pay to keep the
Flaming Fist off your backs.

Handout B: Kwilgok

Well met, strangers! I’m Kwilgok—once
a dinosaur racer, now the best guide
in Port Nyanzaru. I’ve traveled up the
River Soshenstar to the Aldani Basin
and back. I’ve visited so many corners
of Chult and can tell you: there’s no
land more beautiful and dangerous.

This is my ankylosaurus, Deadly
Treasure. Quite a prize, isn’t she?
Follows me everywhere. We cost 6 gold
pieces a day, with payment for 30 days
up front. Very expensive, yes, but worth
it, I promise you. May the sun and the
moon always watch over you.

Great Ubtao has led you to me, I see. I am
Mudgraw, a legend in these parts. What I
lack in youth, I make up for with experience.
I’ve led many expeditions into the evil heart
of Chult and seen things that would make
you quiver in your shell.

A deadly maze awaits us, brave ones.
With Ubtao’s blessing, I shall guide you
safely through it. That’s what I do best! I
travel light and wear my home on my back.

I charge 5 gold pieces a day, but there are
circumstances under which I might waive
my fee. Sometimes the journey through
life’s maze is reward enough!
