Ziggurat of Yig and the Tome of Whispers

Believed to be the location of:

Few dare to brave the dangers posed by the Jungle of Moog. It is a tangled place crowded with overgrowth, dangerous wildlife, and carnivorous plants. Few that enter are ever seen again and the ones who do survive its many perils emerge with fevers and madness, their unhinged accounts speaking of strange ruins infested with stranger inhabitants, old magic, and terrifying monsters.

As deadly as this place can be, it offers up fantastic treasures, bits of strange magic whose purpose and function puzzle the most scholarly of wizards. Gold coins minted with strange visages on the faces and bizarre weapons forged for creatures of inhuman anatomy hint at the weird culture that once ruled here.

Oola, Mistress of the Whip, knows full well how dangerous Mandrill can be and under any other circumstance she would avoid it. Racking up gambling debts greater than she can pay, she now has no choice. Her debtors took her lover, Rien, and promised to send her back to her one piece at a time until she makes good on what she owes. After receiving a severed finger as a warning that they were serious, Oola decided to investigate the rumor of riches in the Ziggurat of Yig. She used what money she had to hire six random mercenaries to assist her and headed out.

Hunting Oola

The crime lord holding Rien prisoner, a vile tabaxi named Mandrill, believes Oola is trying to slip town. He hires the characters to track her down in the jungles and bring her back. He’ll pay 2,000 gp if the characters bring her back alive or half that much if they bring back her corpse, as he would rather kill her himself.
