1 Piles of treasures are found under the plants in
that swamp.
2 Crocodiles sit on hoards like Dragons.
3 Structures of the Old Ones still rise from the
waters.
4 There is good fishing to be had in the swamp.
5 The waters of the area are kept pure by strong
magic.
6 Something weird lies under the palace.
7 It wasn’t always a swamp.
8 A smart man stays away from the swamp.
9 The lord of this region will reward anyone
who clears the swamp.
10 The denizens of the swamp fear good strong
light.
11 The waters are never more than hip deep.
12 If you camp on dry land the animals will leave
you alone.
13 My (cousin/friend/brother) took a shot at one
of the animals, but the arrow just bounced off.
14 A small village has cropped up in the swamp;
it is a good place to rest.
15 The mists disappear during the noon hour.
16 If you go round the waters to the right side of
from the road you will not have to wade.
17 A strange statue in the heart of the swamp
grants wishes.
18 I hear the baron offers a reward for artifacts
from the swamp.
19 Take plenty of water, as the water in the
swamp is poisonous.
20 A Giant lurks in the swamp and swallows the
unwary.
OOC: That's a lot of rumors!
Harny suggests asking if there are indeed bounties to be had. "I'd rather not muck around in some bog until I have an idea of what I'm looking for and a tangible reward for my effort. Besides the bounties, let's see if we can find an expert on the area so we have an idea of what we're slogging into."

Mod
OOC then:
What bounties might be had and what is needed for proof?
Are there truly any ruins or structures in the swamp?
Is there a village and is it friendly?
What are the best tactics for travel and defense?

2. There is rumors of structures. Those that you have talked to have stated that the ruins of buildings are there, albiet hard to find.
3. No one you have talked to has actually been to the village. Thier brothe/cousin/friend knew someone who heard that there was a village and that it is friendly.
4. Keep watches, and stay on the high ground. Also everything is not as it seems in the swamp.
OOC: Are you doing all of the dice rolling?
Mod
Mod
(( ok i am new to this whole thing so what do i do?))
Mod
btw you all have directions to the swamp.))
"Well, my friends, I'll have to tell you, I'm not a great toe-to-toe fighter, but I'm quite good with my bow and throwing weapons, so I'll let someone else take point. In fact, I might just stay off from all of you as much as I can. Who knows, me lurking around the group might save your bacon."
((ok thanks))"I agree harney, Lets try asking around a little more. it can't hurt us to know as much as possible about this place so we don't get ourselves killed. there has got to be someone around here who goes out in that swamp. is there a tavern around here? that's where i would look first."
"don't worry i can take point.toe-to-toe is my specialty; if you see any thing that looks tough just let me handle it! so are we heading off then?"

"I fink dere's a tavern over dere. Wanna check it out?"
Dav States Bluntly: "yeah lets go see what we can find, you comin harney?"
Mod
Harny looks around warily and nods.
Mod
They sit nursing thier ale silently.
Dav studies the individuals and approaches the two older men. "hello my friends, mind if i sit here? he says as he sits and orders an ale from the bartender.
Mod
The dwarf gives him a look and slide Dav an ale. "One silver Please."
The men look at him and nod without saying anything.
Dav Flips a silver to the dwarf "any of you venture into the swamp recently?"
OOC: Time for me to get off this monster. See y'all tomorrow.
Mod
One of the men gave him an incredulous look. "Lookit me son, I aint been near that swamp! You'd be a damn fool to go near the thing!"
Looking to the young man "how about you? you look brave. ventured out into that swamp lately?
((Well i have to go tonight. See you guys next time.))
Mod
Mod
((ack! sorry missed last night ened up working a 3-11pm shift))Drake stirs back to more of a waking state after just mostly following his group around like a zomibe as he mostly just for now watches and listens.
Mod
Volmer sat next to the younger man. "What can you tell us about the swamp?"
Jaide casually walks into the bar, seizing a seat near the door to survey the scene.
Mod
Orthea stops outside of the bar, then hesitantly walks in. This wasn't the place to mess around, she could go stealing somewhere else.
dav smiles and says ”Come on, there has got to be someone around here who goes out in that swamp regularly. Anyone you fellows could point out to us?”
She sits next to a female sitting near the door. "Hey. How you doin'?" She casually asks.
Harny looks for a rough old goat, sitting outside, nursing a brew at a table...
((Jaide's a guy))"Fine,"
Jaide answers flatly, without turning. His attention seems focused on the pair at the bar.
Mod
((Unless you're referring to maggies character then please dont make up your own NPC's or anything like that. ))
The older of the two men looked at Dav "The only one who goes reguarly into that swamp are the adventurers, and we never see them agan."
((whoops and angus what's a NPC?))Orthea put her hand on her belt. good. My knife's still there
Mod
Volmer walked over towards Harvey and whispered "I don't think we're going to be able to find a guide in this town. Looks like we mebbe are gonna have to find out own way."
"Well then, let's be off, I say!"
OOC: Assuming it's a reasonable time of day to start.

((DM Note: start your maps in the bottom left corner. ))
After travelling for a few hours you come to the entrance of the swamp!
The smell of fetid water wafts in the air, mixed with the occasional burst of fragrance from flowering plants. The air moves so slowly it is impossible to say whether a breeze is bringing the smells to you or are you walking through stagnant bubbles of air, which hold the smells in a perpetual embrace. The ground has slowly turned from hard-packed earth to a softer, moister texture that sticks to boots and hooves. Fog has been gathering for the last few hours, limiting vision to a mere 30 yards; at your feet it is so thick that you can see no more than 5 feet of ground ahead of you, causing the foliage further ahead to appear to be floating.
Thoughts of a conversation you had with a sage in the last town keep you moving towards your goal. Visions of great wealth and glory occupy your minds as you plod along towards the heart of the swamp.
As you move further you hear the faint splash of water, as well as several noises you cannot decipher. The air seems to chill slightly as you look into the mist, though determining if the temperature has actually dropped or if you merely sense the dread of this place is a toss-up.
Continuing around a short bend on the path you find yourself facing a veritable wall of fog. Visibility ends a mere 20 feet from where you stand. The air turns from chilly to a steaming heat, and a sense of foreboding grabs you. A decision must be made: enter... or turn back.
Dav smiles eagerly "Finaly something interesting in this cess pool. maybe there is something in there to actually fight!"
This is going to be an adventure based off of the Dragonsfoot adventure "The Banked Swamp.
