If the plainsman Tas found was right, then marching to the village is marching to the hands of the Dragonmen and the Goblinoids that road the land, searching for Goldmoon's staff.
Tanis says to the companions and address Tas again
Is there a way to circle the plains and arrive to the ruined city and the swamp from another route?

Riverwind shakes his head to Tanis's inquiry. "The only way to the swamp is through the Black Pass. The mountains can't be gone around. But we will get through and find what these dragonmen fear."
The group spends that night camped on the plains and in the morning march off towards the east. About midday that first day they find a large swathe of trampled grass, as if a very large group passed from the north into the lands further south.
Tracks all about show signs of clawed dragonmen and the tracks of wagons loaded heavy down. From all the traffic it looks like the force numbered in the hundreds. Riverwind nods to the north, looking up the long trail he says, "Que-Teh lies at the head of this trail of that I have no doubt. We should move on."
The rest of the day is uneventful and the party makes camp once again under the open sky of the plains. The EastWall Mountains can be seen not far off as the sun sets on another cold day.
During the night everyone is awakened by the loud roar of something far off. Everyone sits up in their blankets and listens but the sound is not heard again.
In the morning an ominous sight greets the group. They have always been traveling east and a little north, to reach the pass, but bypass any of the villages of the plains. To the north and east almost directly in the groups path a thick column of black smoke rises towards the heavens. As the move towards it, it slowly dwindles and thins as it slowly burns itself out. But the air starts to turn foul with the smell of smoke and soot lies scattered throughout the tall grass, until finally it is like black snow on the ground.
Goldmoon looks to Riverwind as they near the pass. She says nothing but her eyes are full of tears that will not fall. He shakes his head at her unspoken plea and turns to lead the group away from the plains and through the mountains.
The pass through the mountains may have once been a great road before the Cataclysm. An old broken road that still shows signs here and there of it's paving stones. And before the Cataclysm it would have led straight to Xak Tsaroth.
Now the road ends abruptly and a foul swamp blocks the way.
"Great we found the swamp so where's this city?" Flint asks sarcastically.

Riverwind will try to find a suitable branch that he can use as a staff. If necessary, he will snap one off a tree. Holding this in his right hand, he will hold his, stringed, bow and an arrow in his left hand. Taking his usual position at the front, he will start to carefully navigate through the swamp. Using his ranger skills and his impromptu staff to find a passable path.
