Hypnotique from Floating Islands by Brett Spivey

It was getting late. Cal said we should push on. Martin shows up at our boat and told us that we should stay put at the Quiet Village. He tells us that he has dinner, wine and entertainment waiting for us. As the wine was being served, the entertainment starts. In come the belly dancers and they were intoxicating. Or maybe it was the hashish we were smoking. Either way, it was Hypnotique. As we ate and drank, Martin leans in and tells us of his adventure in trying to retrieve the Black Orchid and how he barely escaped with his sanity and his life. He tells us that there is a keeper that guards the Black Orchid. That of a giant Cobra and the cave he lives in on the Forbidden Islands.
