[QUOTE="Gregor, post: 5592337, member: 11751"] The party as a whole is able to learn the following by walking and chatting through Vidor: The town of Seaquen is about 50 miles or so away through the swamp. The road that runs through Vidor ends 15 miles away at the edge of the swamp. The swamp itself is a mix of waist deep mud and stagnant pools with patches of dry land interspersed. Traversing the morass without boats will be extremely difficult if not impossible. Seaquen can also be reached by skirting the coastline, but townsfolk discourage it due to craggy outcroppings and the constant tides which can mire travelers in impassable terrain. The villagers in Vidor offer the following goods to help you get through the swamp or along the coast: Map of the swamp 5 gp, Rowboat (seats three medium creatures and gear) – 100 gp, Oar/pole – 5 gp, Gator tooth necklace (purported to ward off wild animals) – 25 gp, Portage of a rowboat 15 miles to end of the road (two men will carry the boats for you) – 5 gp. Everything else, such as food or equipment cost double the normal market prices. In addition, Kirio and Alric bump into a portly human shop keep who tells them the following piece of information: [I]“Lots of refugees coming through here. Lots of mages. Too many, I think, with lots of black cats coming with them. Lots of bad luck concentrating in one place. Folks who can afford a boat through the swamp have already left.
