[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 6854854, member: 34958"] After a quick trip home (where they are able to sell the extra equipment and earn bounties for a letter of credit worth 10,000 gp), the heroes retrace their steps and head towards Garland's Fork. To get to that destination, however, they will first have to cross the Great Swamp; an area that is to be avoided. For centuries, the Great Swamp has hidden hints of an ancient culture of barbarian kings. A great corruption once infested this place, destroying the savage barbarian kings and leaving only mighty statues as their legacy. It takes a handful of days to reach the outer edges, and on the way you train and hone your skills. The entire way you follow an old wagon trail, with a path recently cut by a wagon just a handful of days before you arrived. This is odd, considering the only subject of note near the place where the wagon trail began was the pile of dead cultists you had recently defeated. You can't help but wonder if this wagon team was allied with the forces that you had defeated. You grow closer each day to the wagon team, with their trail growing fresher each hour, making you further excited to catch up to your potential foes and the heavy cargo. Finally you believe them to be close just as you reach the Great Swamp. It is a couple of hours more of forced marching when you hear the sounds of the team ahead. A thick fog hangs over the chill swamp, turning the sun into a weak, red glow. Dead trees loom like skeletons in the mist, and everywhere is the stench of rot and death. The relative quiet is broken by a terrible thrashing sound. There are cries of frightened horses, mixed with the ragged screams of the dying. A horse emerges from the mist, drawing its fallen rider behind. It is difficult to discern the rider's race or gender, but as the corpse flails by you, a necklace with the emblem of the three-taloned hand, so often worn by your enemies, falls from the body and to your feet. The horse continues on, carrying its dead away from the sounds of battle. ---- OOC Thread: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?299395-Yttermayn-s-quot-Saga-of-the-Dragon-Cult-quot-OOC-2[/url] Rogue's Gallery: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?249749-%28Rogue-s-Gallery%29-Yttermayn-s-Saga-of-the-Dragon-Cult[/url] [/QUOTE]
