The Heroes and Buttercup regroup and regather after being separated during their ignominious expulsion from the Astral Plane. Finding themselves in a jungle, they soon locate a trail that leads them toward the vermilion-mist spewing volcano. With a sense of déjà vu, Lupin performs a perception check to see if this is the volcano from their first mission (see Chapter 1). It is not (they all seem to have forgotten the first adventure took place in the Antarctic Tundra). Fjord leads the way; his keen senses pick up the unmistakable odor of other canines ahead.
