((just so you know tell me which direction you are travelling in via the hex you're on.))


message 52: by Doc (new)

Doc Aeon | 27 comments shrugs at his companions urge to fight as for now he is more concerned about making sure that the swamp does not get to them first.

OOC: Hex? AFAIK, it's all in our head!

IC: "Well, it'll be nice to shake the chill. Shall we?"

((The map in the first few posts is a hex map))


message 55: by [deleted user] (new)

The pdf I opened says "Area Map" and "Dragonsfoot" with no content.

((Jaide which spells are you memorizing?))

Volmer said "We should wait for me to memorize some spells. We could need them in the sawmp."

Volmer spends 60 minutes memorizing a Create Water and 3 Cure Light Wounds.

((They still have to memorize spells))


message 63: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments Dav stands impatiently after polishing weapons for the last hour and says "Come on are we going or not? Those monsters won't wait all day!"


message 64: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie-swift) ((Don't I alread have them, though?))

((You have them all yes, but you need to memorize some still if you plan on using any.))

Volmer nodded. "I agree! We head into the swamp! Which direction shall we travel?"

((BTW its around 1:30 PM. And maggie you may memorize more than you can use, and you may use any time that Volmer used to memorize his spells.))

((Pick a hex map, any hex map! Get yer hex maps right here! http://www.dragonsfoot.org/maps/ ))


message 68: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie-swift) ((brain fuzzy from painting all day. I still don't get what you mean, Angus. @-@ I have the spells he knows...))


message 69: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments ((Yes you have those spells in your spell book but being a magic user you have to memorize the spells you think you will need before hand because they are so complicated. So you can’t just pick the spell that is best for the situation in the moment. You have to pick before hand which spells and how many of each you want to memorize and those are the only ones you can use. So like volmer did, he memorized three cure light wounds and a create water which means he can now use cure light wounds 3 times and create water once. He can’t use any other spells he has in his book unless he takes a while to memorize them before hand. Does that make sense?))


message 70: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments Dav can hardly contain himself ”Straight ahead!” ((Up Right on the hex map))


message 71: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie-swift) ((Yes, thanks. I think I got a bit confused, is all.))

((So I think Jaide will have memorized the Comprehend Languages spell.))

You enter the marsh and the first thing you notice is the moist thick air and the drone of swarms of insects. Each step you take sends up clouds of these things and many are mosquitos and biting flies. You wave your hands to fend them off but there's so many.

You slog through the swamp. The part you travel on is slick mud. You often fall down a lot. Covered in mud and nasty water you travel about 100 ft.

It takes you 2 rounds to slog through this section of the swamp. (2 minutes)


message 73: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments Dav looks around for some dryer land. does he see any?


message 74: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie-swift) Jaide rubs the muck off himself, searching the area around him for anything interesting...


message 75: by Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D (new)

Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig) Richardson (tap3w3rm) | 190 comments Mod
You can only see around 20 feet around you, the fog is very thick. I lied actually it took you around 5 minutes to slog through the swamp.

Jaide sees lots of water, with small pools of nasty water in it.

Time: 1:35


message 76: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments After looking for an easier way dav says "well doesn't look like there is any other way to go. might as well keep moving forward ((same direction))


message 77: by Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D (new)

Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig) Richardson (tap3w3rm) | 190 comments Mod
This part of the swamp is covered in plants. You slog on for another 5 minutes and you travel for about 100 feet.

Time: 1:40


message 78: by [deleted user] (new)

"Well, this is certainly dreary!"


message 79: by Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D (new)

Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig) Richardson (tap3w3rm) | 190 comments Mod
Volmer says "I'm not slogging through this all day. Lets try and find some dry land."


message 80: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments Dav says "ok i will look around to the right" ((straight up))


message 81: by Doc (new)

Doc Aeon | 27 comments Truges throught the muck, silently as he follows his group not haveing much to say yet, as he focues on the treasure that maybe had once this ordeal of swamp wandering is all over.


message 82: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie-swift) Jaide shakes his boots off and grimaces. Now he really wishes he knew a spell to move entire swamps to a different location.


message 83: by Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D (new)

Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig) Richardson (tap3w3rm) | 190 comments Mod
The group trudges up forward another hundred feet. Nothing of the unforgiving landscape changes, still the green plant covered swamp that they were just in.

Time: 1:45


message 84: by Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D (new)

Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig) Richardson (tap3w3rm) | 190 comments Mod
Volmere says "This is muck is sticking to everything! The whole swamp cant be like this, can it?"


message 85: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie-swift) Jaide looks behind him for a moment. "Blast! This unchanging swamp is playing tricks with my mind!" He could have sworn he saw land just a few meters behind.


message 86: by Davtime (last edited Feb 25, 2011 03:09PM) (new)

Davtime | 72 comments Dav slips and almost falls face-first into the swamp ”Blast it! There has got to be some dry land around here somewhere! How about instead of just trudging endlessly waiting for it to find us, we actually look for it! Lets split up and look around. 40 feet in each direction. Whose going where?”

"I'll go straight up." says Volmer.


message 88: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie-swift) "I'll slog left," offers Jaide.


message 89: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments "i'll take right then. keep your eyes open and yell if you find something. meet back here in 10 minutes max. the rest of you stay here and keep your eyes out for trouble. be ready to help if you here us run into trouble" dav turns and tramps off


message 90: by [deleted user] (new)

"Split up? In a swamp? Go fools, I stay here and wait."


message 91: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie-swift) Jaide shrugs. "Suit yourself. we'll use you as a base, then."


message 92: by Doc (new)

Doc Aeon | 27 comments "Splitting Up? really?" Drake says as he looks around teh swamp. "If you want to split it wouldn't it be best if we went in groups of two. Two go out two stay here so no one is left unaided by a companion, rather then just going alone in sevral directions."

"Jaide and I will head up. Drake and Dav head right. Orthea and Harney stay here then?" Volemer says.


message 94: by Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D (new)

Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig) Richardson (tap3w3rm) | 190 comments Mod
Orthea nods. "I will stay with Harney."


message 95: by Davtime (new)

Davtime | 72 comments Dav shrugs "ok lets go, this swamp is getting to me."

Jaide and Volmer walk up towards the right from where the others were waiting. Dav and Drake faded into the mist and suddenly it was just the two of them.

Volmer said to Jaide, "Be careful." and he drew his hammer and his shield.

They walked for about 50 and saw an end to the muck and swamp. The land up here is higher and dry.

"High ground!" cried Volmer.

Dav and Drake slog through more swamp before returning in 10 minutes.

Time: 1:58


message 97: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie-swift) Jaide, excited, turns to Volmer. "Turn back and tell the others, or see what's up ahead?"

((btw, is this past tense or present roleplaying?))


message 98: by Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D (new)

Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig) Richardson (tap3w3rm) | 190 comments Mod
((Present!))

"I say we go back. This land isnt going anywhere and we dont need to be lost in the swamp." said Volmer.

Time- 2:00

Dav or Drake needs to roll a d6.


message 99: by Doc (new)

Doc Aeon | 27 comments Drake looks about and takes more careful steps as the swamp's mist obscures vision as he places his hand on the hilt of his sword in caution.

((rolled a 6 http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/vie...))

As Drake and Dav advance they hear a hiss coming from the other side of a patch of reeds. Another hiss follows it, this one is louder and deeper.
