Rakastasfarians

The party returns to search for the Phanaton village and the crazy shaman Miahuaxochitl. Vin negotiates the aid of the phanatons in defending Farshore from the impending battle. Rudy negotiated some modifications to his heirloom falchion (+1 admantine) to add the berserking quality. (As if he wasn't pissed off enough already.) Daria trades some useless magic sticks for vials of liquid that are probably better off not being mentioned.

The phanatons tell the party about a shrine of the tiger-people that had weapons. The tiger-people are no longer there and the party might find some stuff there. On the way to the shrine, rotting vegetation attacks the party. Ortho holds back his big guns, and victory is gained anyway.

After finding the overgrown shrine, the heroes are immediately attacked by a gargantuan anaconda. Gwendyln provided lunch for the creature, and kept singing in spite of being chewed. With much damage applied the snake finally falls, and Gwendyln survives.

The entrance to the shrine is trapped, Hjalmgerder falls into the brackish water. Several statues are looted from the hall leading into the main shrine.

In the main shrine, flying colorful snake creature named Tonatiuh tells Vin the sad history of his children the Rakastas (tiger-people). The rakastas were preparing to defend from an attack of the skin-walkers, an ancient offshoot of the Savage Tide 1000 years ago. The rakastas weapon stash is free for the party to use in defending Farshore against the Crimson Fleet. Having fulfilled his purpose, Tonatiuh leaves to the outer planes.

Leaving the shrine 6 scouts from the Scarlet Brotherhood savagely attack the party. The Scarlet Brotherhood was not prepared to bring their 'A'-game.

Returning back to the crazy shaman, Miahuaxochitl is not finished yet but will send the weapon with an advance team on phanatons to Farshore. The return trip is slow, since the party is packing several crates of weapons.
