As you move further into the swamp, the trees become fewer and fewer, replaced by ancient stone pillars. Time has not been kind to these monuments, and any details have long since been eroded away.
Eventually you make you way to a massive clearing. A large squat ziggurat stands in the center. It too has suffered from years of exposure, but it is still standing, and there are figures moving around it. You recognize some of them as gnolls, but there are a couple humans nearby as well. The gnolls are looking back and forth from the temple to the jungle while the humans are standing around much like the warforged and lizardfolk from earlier were. For now the sparse cover from the trees and crumbled pillars seem to prevent the gnolls from noticing you, but it would be difficult to get much closer without arousing their attention.
ooc: Out of curiousity, what is everybody at, hp- and surge-wise?
