Already, stinging gnats and mites fly into eyes, ears and bite unexposed skin. Valrack is suddenly broke from his thoughts by Kithkor 'Elves falter, fall back from Swamp, you make it to safety.Run, master, run hex!' Arrows whistle overhead, none finding their mark, though several bounce off of the armor of the Muragar. Krug cackles, summoning an Obscuring Mist , creating a blanket of fog between the band and the Legionarres.Cries and shouts become muffled as the Mist blankets everything, though the occassional *Whthp!* of an arrow passes close by the ears of the band. Durgo lands waist deep in muck, signaling that he had indeed made it to the Swamp.Close by Hex and Valrack stand, as well as the Gnoll. Bargo thunders up, still grinning with a dangling Elf head in hand.Lastly, Midnight Fang approaches, her burns looking bad, if not critical. there is no sign of Wekerak...The Elves do not follow into the Swamp, though several are laughing and shouting as if privy to some private joke.A voice calls out in accented Myrachian ' Though you have eluded our blades this night, animals, Death will come to you,I think! Say hello to the Swamp Matrons for us before they roast you over coals or boil you for their soup!' More elvish taunts and shouts follow, along with an ever increasing barrage of arrows. Hunkered down against trees, large standing stones or behind fallen logs, the Band is safe from the Elvish assaultfor now.  The pointy ears seem content to wait out the night, however,in case any dare the open Plains again.Durgo crawls out of the muck, dozens of leaches attached to his legs and a few on his arms as well. What now, you all wonder? WHat anyof you know of the hags is vague. They are loosely allied with Myrach, though they pay no allegiance to any. Rumors have it that there are several Swamp matrons, each with a dislike or even vehemence for the others, though they do band together in times of need. How they treat your kind is a mystery as much as their level of Power, though it is said that they are Great Wizards and Sorcerers.</blockquote>
