Urukayxl

Urukayxl is part of the Swavain Islands south of Nicodranas in the Lucidian Ocean. It is surrounded by the Inkclaw Reef. Most sailors avoid it, believing it to be dangerous or cursed.

Society
The island is inhabited by lizardfolk and yuan-ti that regularly fight each other for its control.

Lizardfolk
The lizardfolk live on the outskirts of the island, in the various rivers and streams. Their speech is low and guttural, with clicking noises.

They are for the most part muscular, hunched, scaled creatures with a frill on the back of their neck; long snouts; and sharp teeth. They wear makeshift leather armor and weapons that appear to be either themselves scavenged, or made of scavenged materials.

Yuan-ti
The Yuan-ti live in a village around the temple in the center of the island. All have snake-like features, but it varies by individual: serpentine features, yellow eyes, or scales are all common. Some have snake-like tails in lieu of limbs. They dress in simple and light attire suitable for the jungle environment and shun hoods, so both members of their society and trespassers are easily identifiable.

Environment
The island's terrain is a mix of jungle and beaches. Inside the jungle is a small village, a ruin, and a five-sided temple. The beaches are beautiful and white, with scattered driftwood and shells. r Monkey-like creatures and colorful jungle birds live in the trees on the island. Kamadans also live in the jungle, and attack unwitting travelers.

There are a number of jungle flowers which grow among the roots of the trees in the jungle. Most of the flowers are dull pink, which fades into green towards the stem.

Jungle
The jungle line begins about 40 feet onto the island and immediately grows dense and tangled with vines, roots, palm trees, and other tropical plants. The climate is extremely humid, and the ground is spongy and covered with plant matter over harder rock or compressed soil.

Driftwood Shack
There is a frond-thatched shack that is made of driftwood and other reclaimed wood. It is falling apart, with a rotted piece of cloth covering what would be the doorway, and the jungle has begun to reclaim it. Inside is a simple cot, a chair, a mildewed leather coat, and a small open box on a table. The whole room smells faintly of rot. Under the cot is a small six-by-four inches chest that is trapped via a running cable to tip over an urn of venomous snakes.

Ruin
The ruin is the remnants of a collapsed stone structure, and some of the stone appears to have been plundered for use elsewhere on the island.

Yuan-ti Village
The Yuan-ti live in a few dozen yellow and gray sandstone buildings scattered around the temple. Many of the buildings are partially covered in vines in a deliberate attempt to hide them from outsiders. Marking the different intersections are 10 feet tall snake-head obelisks on exposed stone, possibly marble.

Temple of the False Serpent
Inside the small snake village on the island of Urukayxl is the Temple of the False Serpent. It was built in honor of Uk'otoa and later taken over by yuan-ti who rededicated it to The Cloaked Serpent.

Jamedi Cosko returned to the Squalleater from his mission to scout Urukayxl. He warned Avantika and the Mighty Nein that the jungle was inhabited by both lizardfolk and snake men, and the snake people surround the temple.

The Mighty Nein, Jamedi Cosko and Captain Avantika navigated through the jungle in search of the temple to Uk'otoa. They found the shack, and Nott triggered the trap of the chest when she moved the simple golden small carved head of a cobra inside. Next to it laid three approximately gold piece-sized rubies. The trap had decomposed dead snakes laid within.

Continuing in the jungle, they saw a group of lizard people being slaughtered and felled by yuan-ti. The group eventually found a place next to the ruin where they camp for the night in Caleb's Tiny Hut. While exploring the surroundings, Caduceus and Jester were attacked by kamadans. The rest of the party, including Jamedi and Avantika, came to assist. Fjord and Nott landed the killing blows on the two creatures. Sometime later, two snake people passed by and attempted to enter the Tiny Hut.

The Mighty Nein, noticing that the temple was heavily guarded, attempted to disguise themselves as the snake people. As they passed through the town they noticed the yuan-ti whipping or otherwise harming the lizardfolk. They were themselves noticed by some of those lizardfolk.

On top of the temple they found a stone tablet intended for sacrifices as well as a trapdoor. Nott picked the lock and the group went in with Jamedi. Nott led the way down the staircase, searching for traps, but triggered a trap that caused them to slide down the stairs where they were immediately noticed by some snake people.

The Mighty Nein explored the temple, and discovered and slayed the Hydra, who was serving as a warden, in the basement of the temple.

Avantika put the first Cloven Crystal in place to unlock one of Uk'otoa's seals, causing a flood in the temple. The waters burst out of the temple, flooding the city. Avantika, Jamedi Cosko, and the Mighty Nein escaped before drowning, but were pursued by a group of yuan-ti through the jungle.
