Message: <blockquote data-quote="Helspar" data-source="post: 1585239" data-attributes="member: 4849">The Journeys of Helspar, Entry TenWe are spending the evening in the hospitality of a man of the swamps named Roland. We have spent the day in canoe travelling into the Sunken Forest. It is a remarkable shelter Roland has constructed here, hidden from prying eyes and an island of dryness in the dismal dankness of the fens. It even  provides a measure of protection from the assault of the insects that pervade this place. Oh for a sunbathed day in the open air at sea or the cool quiet of a dessert night! I will be glad when our business here is finished.    Roland has advised us to travel during daylight in the swamps, and that I agree. It would seem that the more fearsome of the marshland predators take the hours of night to hunt. I for one cannot see well in the darkness. Earlier today we had a nasty encounter with a few of the wetland inhabitants. I cannot say I am eager to meet what Roland claims is worse. There are frightful sounds beyond our sanctuary in the darkness, aside from those Kale makes in his sleep. At least the mentallist has been somewhat more “human” today for lack of a better word. I still didn’t trust him enough to share a boat with him.    Tomorrow we will set out for the camp of the offending Lizard-folk. With this we trust Roland with our lives. I have faith that he will not lead us astray.Ed. Note: it has been a while since I have been able to post due to technical difficulties.
