The Banked Swamp RP

Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig) wrote: ""How deep is it Orthea?" asked Volmer. "Did you see how deep the water is?""

"I can't tell exactly, but I'm sure it's a few feet deep," she replied warily.

[Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D]

"So which way shall we head now?" asks Volmer. "That's the way the lizardmen ran off to."

[Davtime]

Dav Stares into the fog in the direction Volmer pointed and begins trudging off. he turns after a few steps and says "come on guys we aren't going to find anything standing around. Whoever is bringing up the rear make sure you keep sharp and watch for anything that could harm the group."

[Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D]

((I Need your marching order.))

[Maggie]

((Jaide can go in the middle. He's not the strongest of mages...))

[Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D]

((might wanna discuss it with the group))

[Davtime]

((Well i think dav is already in front but if someone else wants to take point i am fine with them taking the hits ;) ))

[Doc]

((Drake can over the front or rear))

[Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D]

"If the thief takes the rear flank, then she can sneak around and amush from the sides." says Volmer. "I can stay in the back and support with my spells."

So your order is?

Dav Drake
Volmer Jaide Orthea

[Sarah Rose]

((Yeah that's good, Angus. I'm in the rear?


Heheh. Amush. funy typo.))


"Good idea," Orthea put in. SHe had her dagger out and was scanning the area.

[Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D]

"So were heading towards the water?" asks Volmer.

[Sarah Rose]

"I guess," Orthea said timidly. She was a little nervous and her eyes were flitting back and forth, paranoid of everything.

[Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D]

"I'm not slogging through chest deep water just to find a lizardman!" says Volmer.

[Doc]

Drake speaks. " I agree, our goal should be to avoid them and get to where we want to go, with as little threat as we can."

[Davtime]

"Well that is the only lead we have right now on where or what exactly we are searching for. do you guys just want to go back to slogging aimlessly through the swamp?" dav says the last with a little more heat than was intended but stares solidly back at the group waiting for a reply.

[Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D]

"This is a swamp..." says Volmer frustrated. "We're probably gonna be slogging through it most of the time we're in here. If you're scared of gettin' yer feet wet, ye should nae have come here!"

"I don't like swamps or forests or mountains anyway. No place for a clever man like a bustling city I say."

[Sarah Rose]

"I agree with Volmer," Orthea puts in. "So I suggest you suck it up and get it over with."

Looking glum, Harny simply looks out over the wastes.

[Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D]

"Alright, lets get a move on, were wasting time!" says Volmer. "Lets grab some treasure and get outta here."

He starts walking to the up left of the hex map.

[Davtime]

Dav is so frustrated now he doesn’t even care where the heck they go. Seeing volmer stomp off he decides to follow forgetting, for a time, the lizardmen. “Come on guys.”

[Maggie]

Jaide rolls his eyes, following a bit more cautiously. This was why be preferred not to travel in large parties.

[Sarah Rose]

Orthea, relaxing a bit, sheathes her dagger but keeps her eye out for any trouble. She had a feeling that they would make it, but was soon doubting herself as, once more, she pulls out her dagger.

[Sarah Rose]

((Hi mags))

[Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D]

You slog for about a half an hour in the swamp until you see through the mist ahead of you some dry land.

Time: 8:45

[Maggie]

Jaide shakes out his boots, flicking away mud absentmindedly from his cloak. He looks around to see if the dy land might offer a vantage point for the party.

[Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D]

The land is grassy and much drier than anywhere else.

[[deleted user]]

"Hey, we can set up a base here, dry off and do forays from here. Maybe we'll finally find something interesting!"

[Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D]

"I agree!" says Volmer, much happier now that on dry land.

[Doc]

Drake nods. "sounds like a idea, so shall we keep the same watch order as last time?"

[Sarah Rose]

"Yeah. I liked where I was in line. Kept me on my toes," Orthea put in.

[Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D]

((Ok this is getting very slow. So I'm going to speed it up instead of you exploring the entire swamp hex by hex.))

It has been a long time in the swamp. Biting flies and insects have taken thier toll after a long days walk. Suddenly from the north the strong smell of a fragrant blossom hangs in the air, reminding you of a sunny glade filled with flowering beauty. The sharp impression of dry, spacious land fills your mind

[Sarah Rose]

Orthea sighed, and sniffed dreamily. "Mmm... Haven't smelled that in a while!"

[Davtime]

((ha ha thanks angus))

Dav smells the fragrance and can barely contain the relief he feels "i guess you don't realize how much you miss something until you go without it for a while" he says with a smile. but his warrior defenses still hold a little suspicion for the beauty
Is this to good to be true? he thinks as he cautiously examines the grove and looks around listening for anything

((does he notice anything due to his suspicion? does he hear anything?))

[Angus (Ozzy Zig needs a gig), death to all PC's >:D]

((heeheehee first I need everyone to roll a d20 ^_^))

[Sarah Rose]

((I know im not a cheater, but i got 19. Now it looks like im cheating... poo. But i swear, the first roll i got was a 19))

Orthea decides to follow the smell. Jaide walks behind her, intoxicated by the scent. She walks for a little bit and then suddenly sees A large blossoming plant approximately 12 feet tall and wide
stands before you. The petals of the flower are a deep purple
that compliments the deep green leaves and deeper green stalk.
Large, inward-curling leaves hang to the ground, too heavy
for the stem to support. A small shiny object is lying on the
ground in the fold of one of the leaves.
