"We find this map, you think it'll actually lead to treasure? And if so, you think it wont be cursed? I know you dont believe in them, but curses are for sure real, Mrs. Turner."
I think I have read a story about this. Treasure hunter goes out for treasure, scoffs at rumors of a curse, is first to die and that leaves everyone else trying to survive. Hmmm...
"We find this map, you think it'll actually lead to treasure? And if so, you think it wont be cursed? I know you dont believe in them, but curses are for sure real, Mrs. Turner."
And so are Witches Ms Turner. I'm still worried that one whose house just burnt down is still out there waiting for revenge
Poke Poke pulls out a crumpled sheet of paper and takes a couple bite on the edge. We did agree to a detour he recrumples tje paper and it disappears from winced came
"We find this map, you think it'll actually lead to treasure? And if so, you think it wont be cursed? I know you dont believe in them, but curses are for sure real, Mrs. Turner."
"I do believe the map will lead us to treasure. And often unexplainable things like premature aging are blamed on curses simply because we haven't discovered the scientific solution quite yet."

"Yes, witches or people who have learned to manipulate the world are real, just like people who have learned how to read, write, and wield a sword are real. But curses...phewy." She waves off the thought. She reaches down and picks up her limited items and gets ready to leave.
"Well, sure, whatever you say, boss. And if that witch shows up I expect she or he or it wont enjoy the arrows I intend to share with them. Point first and at speed. I might add. Ukfrec found a decent path, let's head out."
Bow in hand, Bradan takes point with Ulfrec and Geri.
Poke Poke skirts off the pth slightly and stealthly keeps pace with others.
Beorn follows behind, wondering if he should have gone into baking instead of barding.
Mrs Turner follows staying close to the bard yearning for some "intelligent" conversation. While the rescued prisoner follows closely behind her. "So you have any good tales?"
The path twists and turns, it seems as if you've had several switchbacks as you journey. You follow a shallow stagnant body of water. Swarms and swarms of hungry bugs flock to the warm blooded food source.
Calain swats at yet ANOTHER damned bug.
He actually thought to himself that he was glad for his naturally cheerful disposition. Considering the environment and his company, including the annoying Goblin whom he inexplicably kept coming to the aid of, hadn't found a way to get himself killed.
Though the broard shouldered man had to admit that the glimpses he was getting of the green Sneak were only the ones the creature was allowing. He practically melted into the foliage at will....
Scientific... jes a fancy word for logical. Bugs are real, too... 'pparently.
Ever consider some things ain't meant to be found?
Bradan is wearing the swamp stuff.
"I am getting used to this swamp stuff. But that doesnt mean I want to spend the rest of my days in this place."
these bugs are terrible makes her nostalgic for her hilltop home with constant breezes that kept all the bugs away
I think I can recount a tale of the perilous Razor Coast and how some scoundrels became the unlikely saviors of a port town.
The back of your hand is feeling slimy.
I am feeling very ill and my hand is slimy! I am certain that it is some foul malady and not by doing something inappropriate.

Oh come now Beorn...You were probably thinking something dirty though. I know you, sweet-singing bards, always up to something. Come'ere let me take a look at you
detect magic
Slimy doom is DC 14 Fort save but I made it a DC 12 to make it a bit easier for everyone to make.
Beorn I need you to make one more Fort save DC 12. Failure is taking 1 constitution drain.
Tell'im the truth... Keep doin' tha' and he'll go blind. Ulfrec chuckles, a rare moment lately.
Razor Coast, ye'say... don't know much about that, but there were these fella's dressed in sheets with curved blades, I seen once. Made mention of some prince turned sailor.
Damn iffin I didn't want to meet him mi'self, men traveling continents fer his cause. We each have our path. Osprey, they called him in their tongue. A younger man was kind enough to translate.
Beorn you still have the constitution damage but you do not have the additional constitution drain. You know the damage will heal naturally but it will take some time.

Well Beorn...You've got the Slimy Doom. Aggrah laughs. But don't worry. Looks like you've got a mild case. You'll be fine. Just give it time.
Ulfrec...Beorn might still go blind. But that's a different malady. If he starts losing his sight, I'll paste his hands with hot peppers. For some reason that usually cures the vision loss.
The group manages to make its way forward through the winding swap land. there are several large splashes in the water.
I really don't think I am fit for swordplay. Beorn looks horrible.
Beorn sees his shadow nd jumps.
As the party progresses, Poke Poke cconcentrates on being quite and watch the path to make sure he doesnt trip on the brush.
Why's everyone jumping at shadows? Damnit, you even got us spooked...
Blargh.
Poke Poke sees Beorn's shadow and it startles him.

As your group picks its way around the narrow path that runs near the swamp a rapid strike comes out of the water lounging at Calain. A reptilian behemoth, a crocodile of monstrous proportions, is large enough to swallow a horse in one tremendous bite attacks.

The croc acted in the surprise round when it bite and grabbed Calain, so it is not FF.
Well, that ain't no shadow... What creeps and crawls, bites and stings!
Ulfrec invokes the power of nature, a whip appearing in his hand... upon a closer look, it is made of hundreds if not thousands of arachnids of various colors, giving it a mottled appearance.
The dwur lashes out!
Geri, stay back boy!
The whip is immune to all weapon damage, is never staggered or reduced to a dying state by damage, and is immune to any spell or effect that targets a specific number of creatures (including single-target spells such as disintegrate). The whip takes half again as much damage from spells or effects that affect an area, but since it is considered part of your gear, it takes damage only if you fail a saving throw on a 1 or if it is specifically targeted by an opponent. The whip does not have a swarm’s susceptibility to high winds.
As a standard action, you can transform the whip into a spider swarm (all squares of the swarm must be within 15 feet of you); thereafter it functions as summon swarm. The spider swarm has 3 hit points and persists in that form for 2 rounds or until the end of this spell’s duration, whichever comes first.
Calain is totally taken by surprise into the Massive Crocs teeth and let's out a blood curdling scream,
Rarrrghh!
He doesn't have a weapon out but he tears back at the beast with his bare hands trying desperately to avoid being swallowed by maybe clawing an eye out??
Ulfrec you do hit the creature. It's touch AC is only a 6.
Calain tries to pull the creatures jaws apart to loosen the grip, but he can't break the choppers.
Poke Poke will move to the gator. If he has to double he will. If not he'll attack.
