With their new ship, the Excuisite Dessert, the Belligerents made their way south towards Jawhara in an effort to deliver the barge they were towing and repair Naukar's staff so he could control the undead on the barge for his delivery on time.
Naukar told the group about a series of tunnels through the mountains that were incredibly dangerous, but would cut their travel time enough that he could still make his delivery on time. The group decided to brave these ship-sized tunnels into Jawhara.
Upon entering, the group noticed the walls and ceilings of the tunnels were covered in a green mucus substance that, when touched, gave a feeling of euphoria and physical pleasure.
They also soon discovered that there were kobolds who were willingly sleeping within the mucus, and when the freed one from its grasp, a kobold named Farns, they were told how all the kobolds in this tunnel were miners who were helping to make the tunnels passable by ships.
Farns told the group that there were hundreds of kobols in the tunnels, and if the group wanted to see their work, they should take a side tunnel to find a creature Farns called Chunky Venga.
Curious, the Belligerents took the tunnel the Chunky Venga and found hundreds of kobolds widening the tunnels behind the most rotund dragon the group had ever seen, Chunky Venga himself.
Apparently the mucus was what was left over from Venga's devouring of the rocks, however when the group arrived, they learned Venga was sick and unconscious, and production on the tunnels had ground to a hault.
The group agreed to help figure out what was wrong with Chunky Venga so the kobolds work could continue.
