Death-Benders ? There is No Such Thing

 The party gathers supplies and heads up to mountain village
of Blue Silk, to help with earth-quake.





on the way there, they are jumped by earth-kingdom bandit girls
who imply that there is something wrong with the avatar.


later the PCs are jumped by 3 lava golems.
who were animated by a short foreign death-bender,
who seems to be a Yemite.


sickeningly, the yemite can bend earth and fire at the same time,
but seems to do so via magic items, and has possibly sold his soul to do so.
he unleashed a devastating lava-contacts-water attack that sprayed everyone
with deadly fire shards.

 
found notebook of yemite mercenary.
