The troglodytes take the 20gp from Silas and lead the party of adventurers through the swamp. A steady rain comes from the west and dampens both your clothes and your spirits as the mud gets deeper and the going harder. It takes some hours to make it through. When you make it out of the marsh as the rain slows to a trinkle, night begins to gather around you. Your guides are true to their word, and they give a nod in salute as they disappear back into the swamp.
Exhausted, you consider resting before pushing on to the lands of the gnomes, despite the danger that your prisoner insists is heading their way.
OOC: If you push on, please let me know any actions you take to prepare for possible danger. If you rest, please state what you do with your spare time, and what is done with your prisoner.
