Puentlatoani

The sleepy jungle village of Puentlatoani is home to a small number of residents on the peninsula of Chult. A day's travel inland from Port Castigliar, the village sits close to the River Olung.

In 1487 DR whispers escaped the village of some sort of "incident" having occurred. When the party of Rong, Taagon Willowwind, Kurk of the Lastfingers, and Bulzo Warmwater passed through the village they saw strange tendrils seem to appear and disappear around the village as well as strangely coloured trees, and the locals were all reluctant to be near them; all but Lidda Jamjar, who approached the party to ask they help in finding her missing husband, Jarber.

The party tracked Jarber down in the jungle tinkering around with "pylons" amongst an unusual twisted metallic structure surrounding a large blue ring which contained a pulsating green image within. As the green orb pulsed slimy creatures began to emerge which the party had to prevent from destroying the pylons. Once the invaders were struck down the party and Jarber stepped through to find that the ring was a portal to the Astral Plane. They were attacked by larger slime creatures but were able to defeat their attackers, before leaving for the Material Plane safely and returning Jarber to Lidda.

Jarber Jamjar
Jarber Jamjar is the most interesting person in Puentlatoani, although the other residents would more likely describe him as wierd. It is his curiosity that sets him apart from others - he loves discovering and inventing new things. He and his wife Lidda are deeply in love, and as a result she puts up with his experiments despite her disapproval.

Jarber is determined to seek out peculiar things and try to discover how the stars and the sky are connected to the world around him. As of late he has begun spending more time out in the jungle than he did before, apparently tinkering with contraptions which seem to control a portal to the Astral Plane. He stated that he found the portal a short while ago and has been trying to work on it ever since.
