"Right behind you, One-sama"
"Lead on then, Shalelu-san"
The morning fog is think and high limiting you view to 20ft, and you hear sounds from various animals
The party goes down the trail a bit and starts going through the underbrush, and you encounter a river.
"I'm not a particularly good swimmer. Can this be forded? Hm. Would rope be of any assistance here?"
Natara pulls out her climbing gear.
Shalelu Andosana:
"I believe we can swim it."
"Perhaps if one of the stronger swimmers crossed first, they could secure this to a tree or something on the other side to assist the poorer swimmers."
After nervously trying to find a way around it, Natara gulps, wades into the river, and starts swimming.
"Time for a swim"
Shalelu Andosana:
With a sigh, Sir Alfric shucks his heavy armor and shield, bundles it up and ties a rope to it before swimming across.
Swim:
Once on the other side, he will pull the bundle across and redon his equipment.
Radko treads the river waters in his armor, but swiftly reconsiders and follows sir Alfric's example.
Relieved at making it across (), Natara busies herself wringing out her clothing, until she looks up to see Radko struggling.
"Um. oops. hey, everyone, look! Help Radko!"
Shalelu Andosana:
"I'll do it,"
And Radko is saved by Shalelu.
Natara cheers and helps to dry off Radko.
after everyone is a little more dried off you continue on and the fog is still thick and the sunlight just getting in.
Perception Checks please
[ooc]blind as a bat. Must have water in my eyes[ooc]
Hey is that Marsh Valerian
Shalelu Andosana:
"It is Marsh Valerian, Nice find Mai."
"I was just lucky in finding it, One-sama"
Perception:
Survival (Track):
"Phew, thanks for saving me, Shalelu! I normally swim better", says Radko, blushing.
Now that we're all across, let's keep moving. she says as she wipes the water out of her eyes.
Sir Alfric bows to Shalelu.
"Magnificently done milady."
He turns to remount Zephyr... then remembers he stabled his trusty mount back at Master Proudfoot's cottage for the duration.
Sighing he turns to scout a path through the swamp.
Perception:
Survival (Track):
Natara gathers up her now dry equipment and is ready to set out again.
"I hope there aren't too many more river branches between us and the goblins."
Shalelu Andosana:
"Who knows, since this place has not been mapped out yet"
"Maybe we should make one while we're wandering through here." she says.
"Does anyone have an idea how much farther it might be to goblintown?"
Sir Alfric with your perception check you spotted something out of the corner of your eye, and then it dashed out of sight.
Sir Alfric crouches down, then silently signs to the rest of the company 'Enemy Sighted', 'one', and the direction he saw it in.
Natara looks over at Sir Alfric as he signals.
Confused, she looks in the direction he pointed.
"What?
"I think we are being trailed, as I also saw something."
Natara instantly falls silent, turning to study the area Sir Alfric is pointing to carefully.
I still don't see anything, but they are better at tracking, I'll trust their eyes.
She loads and readies her crossbow.
Shalelu Andosana:
"It looks like it high tailed it."
"Good. Any idea what it was? I hope it wasn't a goblin, I'd hate to have the tribe alerted and ready for us."
She lowers her crossbow.
"Think it was Soggy?"
Shalelu Andosana:
"it might have been."
"Great. Now we have even more to watch out for."
"I can go last in the line and watch our backs", Radko volunteers.
You all continue on.
And you also go through a creek.
I need perception checks
Perception:
Shalelu Andosana:
Those that got a result of 20 or more notice the Giant leech that's about to attack
