"Thank you again kind sir. I hope we see you again soon with Jaroo's young female aspirant." The man says with a nod.

Looking to his companions he says, "Well, we can make the moathouse by dark and camp there I think. Let's be on our way."

OOC: I'm assuming we still have half a day left, right?

OOC: Yes it was around lunchtime so you have half a day.

Albrecht nods along with Velox's statement. "Yes, we should get going. I hope the young girl is okay..." he commented, not fully understanding the situation, but knowing that she was likely in mortal danger.

Velox lead the way out of town, headed in the direction Jaroo had indicated so that they could make it to the Moathouse by nightfall.

As they walked he turned to Albrecht and said, "Thanks for listening to me. I do hope we can help Jaroo's apprentice. It would be a shame..." he trailed off for a bit and then added, "I don't think I could have lived with myself had we waited and then found her..."

"Yes, there is an urgency to this mission that the others either don't see or don't care about, I'm unsure which," the young man agreed as they continued toward their destination.

You follow the directions that were given and being to enter a swampy area towards dusk. There seems to be a somewhat natural if narrow passageway through the swamp area of dry ground.

Do you wish to continue or camp before the naturally occurring bridge?

Velox wanted to push on, hoping to get to the Moathouse itself before camping but he looked to the others and said, "Do you have a bit more left in you? If so, I say we push on and camp at the Moathouse."

"Camping inside sounds much better than outside. I say we continue onward," Albrecht remarked with a nod.

"Elmo fine, Elmo go on" Elmo says

"If the bandits are holed up in the moathouse we could be in for a decent fight before we can settle down for the night. They could have guards watching the trail too, they'll have the advantage if they ambush us." Furnok cautions.

"I agree, going inside the moathouse could be a bit rash, but we should at least get as close as we can and the waning daylight may help cover our approach."

And with that Velox moved out to keep the group going towards the Moathouse. He would stop the group when they got within sight of the Moathouse to plan any further approach.

OOC: I think we decided we were headed to the Moathouse and would camp near it, but we were going to approach it cautiously. That was the intent of my previous post here at least.

Albrecht shrugged, but he rescinded his opinion. "If that is what you all wish to do, then that is what we shall do," he agreed.

Velox nodded and called back to Albrecht, "If the coast looks clear, I'm all for camping in the moathouse itself, let's just wait and make a decision based on what we find."

"That sounds agreeable," Mordecai nods, getting ready for whatever they end up walking into.

The group starts across the land bridge that seems to be the natural way around this swampy area.

You can roll for initiative :)
You also should make a Spot Check :)

(Don't think I'm making you roll just because of prodding you really had to roll anyway....you do remember the tales of the giant frogs right?)

Albrecht keeps a watchful eye on their surroundings as they cross the bridge. "Don't let your guard down," he reminds everyone.

01:53, Today: Albrecht Delmorn rolled 14 using 1d20+2.  Initiative.

01:54, Today: Albrecht Delmorn rolled 22 using 1d20+5.  Spot.

“Never...” Velox said with a serious scowl.

OOC:  08:33, Today: Velox rolled 21 using 1d20+2.
 Initiative. 08:33, Today: Velox rolled 2 using 1d20.  Spot

You are along a narrow land bridge. You here some frog bellows but are unable to tell where they are coming from.

Elmo gets his axe ready.

Furnok says "Ah could be some giant frogs ahead, they can swallow a man so be careful, oh and make sure they don't take you off the path."

If the giant frogs are there they've not revealed themselves yet.

OOC: YOu are in the hex that has your name on it, if it covers more than one you are in the hex most central to your name :)

Velox readied his flail and lead the way along the path.

Albrecht draws his axe and continues down the path, ready to attack anything that pops out.

Readied Action: Attack any creatures that get into his threatened squares.

"Elmo take the lead if you let him, Elmo work swamp before, know terrain better." Elmos suggests taking the lead over Velox and Albrecht.

"Elmo, if you are familiar here, please lead on." Velox has no reason to suspect treachery.

Albrecht nods, letting Elmo go first, but sticking close behind him.

Still holding that action

Elmo takes the lead and doesn't get to far before a giant frog appears and lashes out at him with its tongue. Elmo seems caught completely unaware as the Giant Frog's tongue strikes him about dead center of the chest and latches onto him. Elmo looks about a bit afraid.

Elmo drops his axe and draws out his trusted knife Otis gave him.

Velox turn



The Giant Frog is the Star :), if you enter the marshy ground he's in you have a -2 to hit.....
