There's not much to it, and what there is appears to be focusing on extorting as much money as possible out of the war refugees fleeing to Seaquen. There are several maps of the swamp for sale by different people, all for around 5gp each. You can buy a rowboat that holds four people for 100gp. Each oar or pole for the boat is 5gp. Two guys will carry the rowboat to the swamp (about 15 miles away) for 15 gp. Finally, crocodile teeth seem to be an all-purpose protective ward in Vidor. Several people are willing to sell you croc teeth necklaces that purportedly will keep wild animals away from you in the swamp.Their high prices have prevented so many refugees from travelling through the swamp that a small community of a few dozen of them has sprung up outside the town. This has done little to soften the town's collective heart. No one is willing to guide you through the swamp. It's clear that the entire town is in on scamming refugees and no one wants to give it up. The town has no inn and no one seems to be renting rooms out, leaving many of the stranded refugees to sleep in the open. Someone will sell you deerhide tents for 15gp each, but this appears to be too much for several of the refugee families.It's raining, and has been all day.</blockquote>
