Vostiun is more careful as he looks around for a safe way through while holding his glowing stick up high.

Action: Perception 17

17:24, Today: Vostiun Hephaurio rolled 17 using 1d20+3 ((14)).

"Oh what the hell...  If everyone else can charge through..."

Elde Kon rolled 4 using 1d20-1.  Athletics...

Kon steps back a few paces, huffs, and takes a running start...

Making a futile attempt to wipe off sand and mud, Samara looks around at her companions' struggles.  Determined to persevere no matter the odds, she leaps across.

13:43, Today: Samara al-Khafif rolled 25 using 1d20+5.  Athletics: to Leap across.

Haznut and Elde Kon continue to have issues with the quicksand while Vostiun and Samara find their inner ranger, Samara is even able to become an example for one of the remining party members.

Samara generated 2 chase points. She may use the extra point to help Haznut OR Elde Kon across the quicksand.

<coin flip> Samara helps Kon.

Vostiun, Samara, and Elde Kon are past the obstacle. They can rush forward to the next obstacle, or they can wait for Haznut.

Let me know what each of you decide.

Kon is a ruffled ball of disgust and frustration, "When I catch up to that goblin I'm going to put the fear of Daikitsu into it!"  Electricity arcs briefly off of his tail and feet to the ground as he continues the chase.

“Shit, shit, shit.” Vostiun mutters to himself as he hurries along. “We’re not supposed to split up!” he yells as he leaves the dwarf trailing behind.

" pretty sure I suggested the short slow people stay back and guard the camp, but all for one and one for all!" Samara grabs a vine and throws it to Haznut to help pull him through the muck.

Vostiun and Elde Kon disappear into the swamp attempting to catch up to Saidou and the goblin, while Samara stays in the vicinity with Haznut, throwing foliage at him along with encouraging words.

Haznut can make another attempt to pass the obstacle.

Haznut continues to push forward.

Athletics: 20

21:18, Today: Haznut Ingut rolled 20 using 1d20+7 ((13)).

Haznut and Samara race forward to catch up to the others but as they trudge through the swamp they stumble into a small collection of burrows that soon disgorge a horde of swamp rats who are quite excited about this unexpected meal.

The swamp rat obstacle has the following base skill checks:

• DC 14 Intimidation Check: To scare them off.
• DC 14 Fortitude Check: To rush through them and endure the bites.
• DC 16 Acrobatics or Athletics Check: To somehow avoid them altogether.

In a hurry Haznut keeps the same pace as he tromps directly into the swarm.

Fortitude: 13

07:30, Today: Haznut Ingut rolled 13 using 1d20+8 ((5)).

Samara attempt to avoid the buggers.
14:40, Today: Samara abnat-Khafif rolled 12 using 1d20+7.  Acrobatics: to avoid the rats.
"Well, they certainly are good at setting traps, aren't they?"

Samara and Haznut find that avoiding the rats is going to be far more difficult than they expected, likely due to the previous party members stirring up the beasts as they passed.

Haznut and Samara are up.

Samara leaps up to swing from a branch...
12:36, Today: Samara abnat-Khafif rolled 13 using 1d20+7.  Acrobatics: to avoid the rats.

“Agh, I don’t have time for this!” Haznut bellows as he slaps rats off himself and continues on.

Fortitude: 28

15:21, Today: Haznut Ingut rolled 28 using 1d20+8 ((20))

Samara leaps up for a branch which almost immediately snaps under her weight. She is caught by a very grumpy dwarf as he pounds his way through the rats, sometimes using the catfolk to swat away an overly ambitious rodent. The dwarf continues to rush forward before he almost tumbles into a massive pond of thick mud, he sighs in exasperation as he drops Samara.

The deep mud obstacle has the following base skill checks:

• DC 15 Athletics Check: To slog through it.
• DC 13 Perception Check: To find a solid path.

"It's wonderful being a Catfolk, 'cos Catfolk are wonderful things!
"Their tops are made out of rubber, their bottoms are made out of springs!"
07:52, Today: Samara al-Khafif rolled 15 using 1d20+5.  Athletics: to Leap across.

Samara leaps out into the deep mud before slogging the rest of the distance through it to the other side.

Haznut stops only momentarily to survey the surroundings before continuing onwards.

Perception: 19

23:06, Today: Haznut Ingut rolled 19 using 1d20+7 ((12)).

Samara and Haznut turdge their mud covered bodies onwards as the swamp undergrowth and trees get denser and more difficult to pass through. As they do, they spot Vostiun trying to find a better route through the bramble.

The dense swamp foliage obstacle has the following base skill checks:

• DC 17 Acrobatics Check: To squeeze through it.
• DC 15 Perception Check: To find a better route.

Vostiun mutters a blessing as the other two arrive but it does nothing to help Haznut find a workable path.

Action: Perception 10

19:17, Today: Haznut Ingut rolled 10 using 1d20+8 ((2)).

06:37, Today: Samara al-Khafif rolled 20 using 1d20+7.  DC 17 Acrobatics Check: To squeeze through it.

Muttering his own cursed blessing lets Vostiun catch a pathway by the light of his magic.

Perception: 18

12:11, Today: Vostiun Hephaurio rolled 18 using 1d20+4 ((14)).
