Virashil - Sorcerer 5, Hp: 21/21
Virashil eats only a sparing amount of the horrid porridge. After choking down a few spoonfuls, she gives up and pours the rest out for the dogs. Seeing that the dogs leave the stuff alone as well makes she smile slightly.
She watches the dwarf wolf down a huge bowl of the goo.
"Thank god I don't have to eat much to sustain my little body," she says to herself.
She then dresses, packs up her gear and is out in front of the cabin, ready to leave.
As Duroin steps foot on the causeway, Virashil snickers,"Maybe you shouldn't have eaten all that porridge this morning."
"We may need to space ourselves out on the causeway. Especially you, Kirrg. I have a feeling I won't make the wood upset."

Sir Jonathan
Sir Jonathan wakes to the banging and sits up. He finds a quiet corner of the room and then kneels and begins a prayer to Heironeous. After his prayer is completed he dishes himself a bowlful of the porridge. Although unimpressed with it's taste, he merely shrugs. "Better than rations I suppose." After strapping on his armor Sir Jonathan is ready to go.
Once the group departs he says, "Keep to the woods ahead Jorr, I assure you will let us know if there is trouble."
Upon coming upon the causeway and the upturned wagon, Sir Jonathan whispers, "You remember seeing that here before Jorr? You think is has been here long? If that is a recent occurance, something pretty strong must have gotten it through the water. Be careful crossing the bridge everybody." He then looks hard into the flooded forest, looking for signs of something living.
I'll keep WRT I think, it is too useful to give up. If there is trouble here, I'll stick close to those in melee. Leading the charge stance is up.

"Nope, must be somethin' recent. Though I do have a crawfish trap not too far from here. I'm gonna go check it out and I will catch up withya on the other side." the weathered woodsman then heads east into just south of the flooded vale.
As Jonathan squints at the placid water he is sure he sees a metallic glint under the muck near the overturned wagon.
OOC: the weed choked water looks about 2 feet deep or so out to the wagon

Duroin draws his waraxe and newly gained shortsword as he stands atop the wooden causeway, looking toward the nearby wagon. The dwarf didn't like the looks of the mucky water at all, and a slight look of apprehension crossed his normally relaxed face. "Are we going to check out yon wagon?"

Virashil, Sorcerer 5, Hp: 21/21
"Everyone, be on guard." Virashil says watching the water carefully.
Virashil intones a few words of draconic, and is surrounded by a silver mist, which swirls around her briefly before collapsing into her body.
"We should inspect the wagon, looking to see how decayed it appears, and if there is anything of value still remaining in it. We also should look to see if there are any signs or clues as to why it became overturned."
"Can one of you find out how deep that water is? Perhaps with one of your longswords or axe haft?"
Virashil looks around pensively, somewhat concerned about what could be hiding within the murky water, but also at their situation of being out in the open, where many eyes could be watching them. She tousles with a wisp of her silver hair out of a nervous habit.

OOC:
Cast Mage Armor - 5 hr duration, AC now 17.
Spells left for the day: 6/6/5

From this distance (some 8 to 10 yards) she can tell it doesn't show much in the way of decay or overgrowth. It is overturned, partially submerged and she too sees a metallic glint perhaps just under the wagon. Beyond the wagon is a deeper part that goes under the causeway, almost like a stream but it is standing placid water.

Kirrg stands at the causeway's edge and eyes the plank nervously. He toes the first bit of it apprehensively, testing its strength and durability with a little of his massive weight. Looking up at the rest of them, he frowns slightly, "Are you sure..." He trails off, not wanting to voice his concern.
He shakes his head slowly and stands up proud, stiff backed. "Maybe we should go around. After we look at the wagon," he states resolutely.

OOC: around the flooded vale isnt *much* of an option, it would take some serious time! (I am not saying No just telling you the implications.)
If it makes you feel any better, the causeway was built for wagons to travel across. It is just very creaky as most old wooden things are.
So far you all have observed carefully and spellcasted...What now?
