He had some experience for caring for himself in the wilds, but not like the 2 rangers. The damp conditions, poor light, resting state, and the temperature near freezing began to take its toll. Fiddle and Dunnin huddled in close to keep him warm."What happens in the swamp," Sully shivered "Stays in the swamp."It also made it easier for Sully to cast an invisibility sphere on them if needed. A hour or so passed. Fiddle heard some crashing and splashing. A ragged human appeared. He was armed with a stick. He approached the pool under the pillar and drank.Dunnin fanned out one way and Fiddle the other to surround him. Sully clapped his hands and appeared by the water."Hello," Sully began nonthreatening. "I come in peace."The human jumped to flee. But soon gave up when he saw he was surrounded. "Don't hurt me. I'll go back to Oz. Raoul is just a slave.""Oz?" Fiddle thought. "I bet there is a wizard involved. Probably some path paved in yellow gold bricks with flying monkeys and...." out loud he said. "We ain't in Aber-Toril anymore, Raoul. Are we?"Dunnin shared food with Raoul to get him to speak. Raoul went on to explain all he could about the surrounding land. The stones they were forced to mine. Dunnin had one. The Pactlords, a group of slavers, were in charge of the swamp. Some strange figure named Father Claw was one of them. Other hazards like giant turtles, a dragon, and rivers of slime and so much more. He also told them about the Black Manor. He mentioned Oz several times. Fiddle realized it must be the name of Raoul's overseer.After eating and talking, Raoul edged away from the group and fled into the swamp. Sully made an attempt to convince him to stay, but it seemed fruitless.The party huddled again and decided to take turns on watch.</blockquote>
