The Aldani Basin
Three days of hot, wet, insect-infested travel passed without incident. The Sticks and their companions made a decent go of it, passing fifty miles of swamp in that time. The rafts were slow-moving and tended to tip, but the water was shallow enough that they rarely could not reach ground with their poles, and so they travelled steadily along. At one point, Qawasha mistakenly led them along a waterway that twisted in the wrong direction, split-off from the deeper water by an impassible grassy ridge thick with poisonous bramble. They had gone over an hour in that direction when the nameless man who had been called Harb suggested that they must go back. The group was reluctant to retrace their path, but in the end it saved them more time than it cost.
On the third day, Weed thumped his chest and squeaked, and Ukee the flying monkey began to chitter and point. It was hard to tell if she had seen it herself, or if she was just mimicking the vegepygmy, but when the Sticks investigated, they found that she was pointing to an enormous carved head mostly submerged in the mucky water.
"It is in the image of Ubtao," said Qawasha, "We should not pass it without asking for His blessing."
Kasqa and Hup'lo agreed.
As they poled over to the sunken statue, suddenly a small grassy island began to shift and slide through the water toward the rafts...

His mind was wandering upon the death of a civilization. His order had witnessed many of those over the millennia and lesson learned from such events was that they were essentially the same as any other creature. It was not something which he was personally trained in though. And while he wondered about the nature of this, the 'island' before them started to move.
There was a moment of absolute rejection of reality as his mind refused to process such an anomaly. Then he kicked into action, such as it was. He'd been poling at the time and now he used the pole to try to change their direction. There was another, more solid island nearby, he thought to use this as a place from which to mount their defense.
Meanwhile, his mind reeled. What manner of creature was this? A plant, similar to their vegepygmy friend? A creature of animated earth? He couldn't be sure, though he checked for the sword slung to his back, whichever it was, he doubted his staff or feet would impact the creature much. Perhaps a blade would be of more use.

As they piled towards the islet, he flung his arm out towards the creature. A dart seemed to materialize out of nowhere flying towards their apparent adversary, but it flew short, splashing harmlessly into the water. Harb watched it with a small disappoint for a moment before they hit ground. A moment later, he steps from the raft, moving to gain some room.
