It is completely unreasonable if not impossible that everything was constructed in a swamp. It is more likely that the building are so old that they existed when the environment was drier and the land not saturated.Inside, the hallway is heavily decorated with carved frescoes, casting a strange array of shadows with the flicker of the firelight. As Jaguar and Whisper leave the sunlight, their skin darkens in mottled patterns to match the shadows. Though the methodology is very different, each young man is able to disguise his appearance similarly.The hallway ends at what should be the middle of the structure and it can be seen that the stairs do, indeed, lead to the pinnacle. The witch could not have gone that way, for she would have been seen as she returned outside. Adjacent to the stairs are two dark rooms. Nothing more can be determined as the two are ambushed by spiders that have evidently taken residence in the anterooms. Three spiders, about the size of a person's head, land on them and bite. The bites are somewhat trivial; and fortunately, each man resists the injected venom. The spiders must be handled before being able to proceed further.[spoiler=Character Data]Jaguar: Body 10 - 3 = 7, hurt.darts: 8slate dart: 2 {thump x2}flint dart: 1 {shock x2}Whisper: Body 10 - 3 = 7, hurt.stones: 11lodestone: 2 {shock x3}tunic: 60 - 2 = 58 [/spoiler][spoiler=Collections]coins: 64 ocrinMuddle Leaf: 1: {muddle x2}Soothe Leaf: 2: {soothe x2}: 2 ocrins eachStimulate: 1: {adrenaline or stimulate x2}: 2 ocrins eachbloodstone: 1: (Fitness +1): 5 ocrinsiron: 1: {shock x2}: 5 ocrinsmagnesium: 1: {mend x2}: 5 ocrinstin: 2: {muddle x2}: 1 ocrin [/spoiler][spoiler=People of Interest]Gastrobon: Centrin man: Plaza Tavern owner, Bridgetown.Merita: Centrin woman: Plaza Tavern cook, heartmate of Gastrobon.Grandon: Centrin man: Grist Mill operator, Bridgetown.Farlen & Hortica: Centrin couple: farmers, Bridgetown.Killian: Spiofthest man: fisherman, Bridgetown.Sheldon & Indigo: alchemists, South Road Fair.
