So, you made it down the volcano and recovered a ruby estimated at 5,000 gp's! WOW, that is quite a sum of gold. However, it is not fist-sized and there are questions whether it is the true ruby that Captain Bluebeard sent you to recover. The game ended at the top of the volcano discussing whether this is the true ruby and should be brought back to the Wicked Wench or if there's something you missed and more searching needs to be done. Tough question and lots of fun for you pirates!
There was a great deal of battling tonight for those who love the role play. All sorts of dinosaurs were encountered as well as the Charau-Ku! Love throwing in some creative native life! Questions were also brought up in regard to whether the group should have allied with one of the native tribes! All fun stuff for a great game of intrigue, wonder and question!
What strange sound. I hear nothing.

This is not the gem that our great Captain described as a "fist-sized ruby". When compared with the description and the actual gem in front of us, the size is quite tiny, we have encountered mosquitoes bigger than the gem here. The larger and older fire snake may be the clue to finding the "REAL fist-sized ruby" for the Captain. I am sure the task will a formidable challenge since it has an environmental advantage. I do believe the gem lies inside the great beast for I checked the majority of the volcano no covered in lava. We work well together and that teamwork will grant us a clear advantage to overcoming this bigger fire snake. My friends what do you make of that strange sound???
Do we have any defenses against lava? The gem may be embedded within the creatures scales. My spells don't provide immunity against the lava's searing heat. Perhaps we should draw straws if we encounter creature and slay it unless we dip the Ninja in the lava.
Even though this is a very good size gem. We should still check some more. Now that someone mentioned they saw something swimming in the lava. It could be a older fire snake. And what we fought was its babies. If this is the right gem, then we have to atleast tell the captain on how made sure, this is the right gem. By going back down and battling this thing in the lava. Maybe it ate the gem, thinking it was food.
As You are on the Island of Dread wondering about the Fist Sized Gem you hear MAJOR rusting in the jungle. With the jungle being so thick it almost seems impossible to determine what is about to creep up upon you! Let's see next week if this if relevant but here is a picture of where you are on the island of Dread!!

I think we all agree this is not what the captain described...and we should go back and investigate further...I almost feel somewhat safer in the volcano compared to what we have heard being in the jungle...but that could change quickly. The creature that slithered in the molten rock is most very likely formidable.....and I heard someone guess the ruby lies within its body!
