The Gaping Maw of Sound left the moors surrounding Demon's Hollow and delved back into Galdarion Forest, following the bearing established by Jackal
After a couple days of travel, they came upon a horde of zombies moving through the forest, all heading in the same direction: southeast
Kaos attempted to connect with one of the zombies mentally, only to feel mental interference.
Kit captured one of the zombies near the back of the horde and after repeated attempts to figure out what it was doing, the zombie was taken over by an indivudual who asked the group to release it and stop interfering.
The group asked him who he was and why he was controlling a horde of zombies, but all he would reveal was he was going to build a zombie wall around his home for protection.
Deciding they didn't need to see a zombie wall as much as they needed to find Jackal's sisters, they continued west.
Jackal discussed his relationship with his sisters. He claimed his mother made him and sent him out to find them and bring them home. He said he loved his sisters very much and they were good, wonderful, beautiful people. And they also loved him very much and missed him.
Jackal also admitted he'd never actually met his sisters.
When asked where his sisters were, Jackal described a place with a ship in the side of a hill, a jungle, and lots of water
The group soon emerged from Galdarion on their way to Wayward, and came upon cries for help. Upon investigating, they saw two monstrous individuals torturing and killing some of the goblins from Tree Pass.
It seemed they were looking for information on the location of a fire genasi who matched Kit's description.
Neya and Kaos negotiated a deal (while Kit hid) where they said they saw Kit at the Halfway There Inn a month ago, and the leader of the two, Hee-Ay, told them the place with a ship in the hill was Cypress. The group now had a specific location to find the Daughters of Eve.
However, Hee-Ay, claiming to be a representative of Lord Marquis Duke Baron King from Topside, decided to further press the goblins for information, which Neya could not abide, and swords were drawn.
