[QUOTE="mikeawmids, post: 8016341, member: 6776411"] [U]The Adventures of Fap Longwood #31 (Tyranny of Dragons)[/U] The Mere of Dead Men is a vast, tangled marshland of sucking muck and cold grey water. Sparse clumps of scrubby weeds sprout from the few islands of solid ground. The [I]Heroes of Phandalin[/I] slosh through the knee-deep sludge, making painfully slow progress to avoid marching into another patch of quicksand or the territory of some carnivorous ooze. [B]“Remind me, why did we accept this quest?”[/B] Horatio grumbles, waving the biting insects away from his face. [B]“Someone has to stop the Dragon Cult.”[/B] Fap answers. [B]“I mean, sure.”[/B] Horatio agrees, [B]“But why does it have to be us?”[/B] Earlier that day, the party had found several abandoned wagons half-submerged in the muck near the edge of the mire.
