[QUOTE="Dekana, post: 5800683, member: 57009"] Damen scouts ahead of the party, and his wariness pays off. He spots a massive bear directly in the group's path and is able to steer everyone away while remaining unobserved himself. It isn't the only close encounter during the trek; throughout the early afternoon, a pack of wolves periodically howl from [i]behind[/i] the party, as if they're stalking the heroes. But as evening approaches, the howls stop and no more animals are seen - not even birds. The party reaches the edge of the swamp as darkness begins to fall, so you decide it's a good place to make camp. It is an extremely quiet night. You felt surrounded by living things in the earlier section of the forest, but here... there's nothing. The night is uneventful, if tense due to the unnatural silence. In the morning, when everyone is ready, you continue into the swamp on your best-guess course to Toeto's tribe. A few hours of trudging through the swampwater follows. There aren't even any trails to follow, so the experience is thoroughly unenjoyable. On the bright side, the mountains in the far distance do seem to be turning east, as the map showed. With any luck, you'll reach the lizardfolk tribe soon. [COLOR="Red"][B]"Caw!"[/B][/COLOR] you all hear some[i]thing[/i] cry out loudly from just ahead in the swamp.
