  When you try to resurrect a player’s corpse who has been 
  dead for less than a year with the Shrunken Head, roll+INT.

  successful but the party loses its most valuable item (GM

  an undead monster of the GMs choice and immediately 
  attacks you until destroyed.

  Riddles about the location of the Cave of Portals: 
   Run, though I have no legs to be seen. I possess no heat, 
  yet I do have steam. I have no voice to let words out, but 
  from far away you can still hear me shout. What am I?  
  This old one runs forever, but never moves at all. He has 
  not lungs nor throat, but still a mighty roaring call. What is 
  it?  
  Answers: A Waterfall (The Cave of Portals is located 
  behind Serpent Falls) 
  Monsters 
  Mistah Kurtz 
                       Solitary, Stealthy, Hoarder  
  Wicked Sharp Cleaver (d6 damage)                               8 HP 
  Without a doubt when the Mistah Kurt arrives in a jungle 
  village it's a celebration. He drinks with the Hetman, has 
  candy for the children. He drives hard but fair deals for 
  luxury goods. Sure people disappear when he visits, but 
  it's never anyone important and so no one ever really 
  thinks about it. 
  Special Qualities: Cannibals worship as a god 
  Instinct:  To grow in power though coin or flesh. 
   
  Bargain away a player advantage. 
   
  By manipulation, bribery, or favors summon a 
  detachment of local justice. 
   
  Disguise one of his crimes. 
   
  No Giant Snakes were harmed in the making of this 
  adventure. However, a cannibal was eaten.

                            6 HP 
  Close 
   
   
  These are twisted cannibals with wiry frames and crazed 
  eyes, and reeking mouths full of rotten teeth, stained with 
  the dried blood and flesh of their victims.  
  Special Qualities: Blood-stained, rotting maw

  Crude Weapons (d6 damage)  
         12 HP, 1 Armor 
  Close, Forceful 
  Monstrous snakes are stealthy, patient hunters that regard 
  humanoids as prey. Most are simply dangerous animals, 
  but the dark god Set blesses some serpents with evil 
  intelligence. The constrictor that scores a bite immediately 
  wraps its coils around the victim and tries to squeeze them 
  to death.

  Strike from a hidden location

  Emerald Ooze 
   Solitary, Amorphous, Stealthy  
  Acid Tentacle (d10 damage) 
  Close, Reach 
   
  15 HP, 1 Armor 
  These man-sized mounds of sparkling green ooze slither 
  through the jungles. They move quickly for something 
  without legs, quick enough to pounce like a lion on its 
  prey. The emerald ooze is both a scavenger and a 
  predator. Its powerful acids dissolve flesh and bone into 
  sludge which is then absorbed into the ooze's body. 
  Special Qualities: Amorphous, Ignores Armor 
  Instinct: To dissolve 
   
  Dissolve flesh and bone 
   
  Lunge suddenly 
   
  Split into smaller oozes
