GM Edwin's River Queen (Inactive)

Game Master Insnare

Poulain nods solemnly.

I really hate to be a ball breaker but Angelo has saved Poulain's bacon multiple times and Poulain would probably have a bit more empathy for the man who had saved him so often. Plus Angelo was trying to save Mogwag who Poulain had so fervently protected before. This stuff is making me get a bit annoyed. @Mogwag, feel free to make a new character...

will do DM...

The rest of the evening goes by without incident and the group wakes up the next day and continues to pull the River Queen through the swamp. Esteban feeds Angelo a potion of light wounds 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

At the end of the day, you all set up camp on the side of the swamp and feast on a Gemsbock, although not as tasty as a boar from the night before but at least there is nothing else of import that happens.

The next day you wake up early and start moving towards the falls again.

Bautain and Poulain are pulling the boat when a high-pitched drone precedes the cloud of tiny insects that approaches like a malevolent thunderhead.

Surprise Round: You see a large swarm of insects coming towards you.

Ba'utan considers the insects and makes an educated assessment of what they may be.

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

In particular, he'd like to hazard a guess as to the insect's natural predator.

Bautain

ok

ok

Can I still act this round?

"S~*$. I can do nothing to zis."

If you cast minor image i would think that would be your action

Ba'utan is clearly casting a spell. Directly in front of him and Poulain appears what looks like a small group of dragonflies, buzzing noisily.

DC 15 Will for Mosquito swarm 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The mosquito swarm gets tricked by the swarm of dragonflies and flies off into the distance.

Combat Over

"Smart tactic."

A little after lunch you continue to pull your boat through the swamp.

Ahead lies the goal of your side jaunt: Brimstone
Falls, a cataract that falls over a 60-foot
cliff into a wide lagoon at the edge of Kurka
Swamp. The falls are magnificent, composed of
dozens of tiny streams and rivulets painting a
mosaic of water over the jungle-grown slope.
The spray from these myriad cascades keeps a
constant rainbow hanging above the waters
within the bowl of the cliff basin. The slope
of the cliff is not overly steep, and you can see
that a few trails run in switchbacks up its face
among the falls.

Where the Kurka River meets the Kurka
Swamp is a 60-foot drop off that creates these
falls. The river here is broad and shallow,
broken in many places by upthrust rocks,
creating this array of waterfalls. The western
portion is steeper and more violent, but
the eastern portion has a milder slope and
spreads the water into a number of smaller
rivulets, allowing a series of trails to exist in
and among them.
