The night's watches are quiet, the howl of the occasional wolf is all that disturbs your sleep. The summer air is warm and aside from a small cook fire, you spend the night in darkness.The second day starts out equally boring until Perin notices the tracks you are following have turned more northward. The edge of the swamp is not far and you expect to enter the swamp mid-afternoon. Around noon, off to the west, you see the outline of a ruined fortress. Perin speculates that it is Swamp Fort. The Fort was built about 500 years ago when incursions into Bit from the swamp were more frequent. It was abandoned 200-300 years ago.. It is a reminder that the swamp has not encroached on civilization in a long time.The fort disappears into the distance by late afternoon as the party starts to reach the drooping trees at the edge of the swamp. You had been traveling in flat plains with occasional copses of trees. The ground is still somewhat firm as the first trees appear. There are bushes all around and small pools of standing water can be seen in most directions. There is also more noise here. The plains had been relatively quiet but here there are sounds of insects and birds. Half of you pull up short and duck down, pulling your companions below the brush line as you point east where you can see several lizardfolk. They are armed but they seem to be hunting, not scouting. After observing them for a moment, you count 6 of them and they seem to be traveling slowly and quietly the same direction (generally north) that you are traveling.(You are over 100 yards away from the lizardfolk. And it is safe to whisper to one another. What do you do?)</blockquote>
