Igbork goes up to Koram gives him a pat on the back and looks at him with a sly smile. Koram really did a good job in fooling the slavers.
Then he approaches the boat, pulls it on shore as far as he can and then lights it on fire.
The boat is too small for all of us and I don't want those dirty slavers to manage to wriggle out of their bindings and continue their deeds.

Then he looks at the map of Harbinna Farwinder.
Seems like we have the same target. Maybe you want to join us along the way. You may know a bit about the land that we don't and you are protected by our numbers alone he mentions to her
OOC:
Hope I'm not overreaching by burning the boat but I don't see any use for it...

Also do we create a collective vault with the valuables or are we just splitting them?

OOC:
If we compare maps, can we update ours by looking at hers?

OOC:
I'm good with burning the boat, no worries from me.

As far as treasure goes, I feel those of the following are more communal by nature. Maybe we would take small trinkets for ourselves as trophies, but overall 'treasure/wealth' I vote we make as a communal pool.

Things we find of particular usefulness we can just make sure go to the person who might make the best use of it, for the good of the Following. Thoughts?
"A kelpie, huh? Good to know." Koram says, tightening the rope binding them to the tree, "Thanks."

He heads back to the others and discusses next steps with them out of earshot of the slavers. "I agree, Harbinna, unless you have somewhere you can get to safely, you should accompany us. Though, truth be told, it may even be safe doing that. We are being followed." He explains the slight ordeal with their pursuers.

Looking over the maps, he nods and agrees, "Yes, okay. This is good information, our maps alone do not provide clear detail as to where we venture. We may need to be careful around this tiger cave," he says, pointing, "if we come close to it."

Atticus suggests they bring the details of the spiritualist's map into their own and he nods, "Harbinna, if you agree to come with us, it may be a wonderful opportunity for you to continue your cartography work, as we venture into unknown territory. What do you say? Do you think you could map things out while we travel and explore? In exchange, we will offer the protection our group can afford."

"I would like that," Harbinna says with a smile. Going through her maps, you don't find much more information. The tiger cave seems to fit the location you have of red cat cave and the place his notes stop, Gleaming Lake is where you are headed.
OOC:
You now need to figure out where to go next. I recall you were planning to following the river to the south east, but could have that wrong.

OOC:
I say we at least head north for a short bit. It'll help sell it to the pirates.
Dec 4, 2022 8:19 am
OOC:
I'm ok with that, but like...a very short bit, just enough so the slavers can't see us when we double back and head south.

Exactly

Sounds like a good plan!

The next day passes with no other incident than a light drizzle and by the day after the sky has cleared up again. There's still a cold spring wind as you stop at the river to fill your waterskins. Though a strange sight meets you as it does. Dead fish bob along the surface of the water, and the river emits a nauseous odor.
Dec 5, 2022 2:20 pm
Atticus stops just before dipping his waterskin in the water. Keep your skins away from the river! Something is going on upstream.
Dec 5, 2022 7:10 pm
Igbork kneels down beside the riverbank, gets down on all fours and sniffs the water.
Yuk! By Sister Cinder! This smells nasty.
He tries to determine what the smell is...

What's that smell? - (1d20+8)

(18) + 8 = 26

You can figure out it is a poison of some kind. But unsure of its origin. You can tell it's coming from upriver.
Dec 6, 2022 9:13 am
Seems like someone or something is poisoning the water upstream. Shall we have a look? Maybe it's another river ghost like the one we've already met...
Dec 6, 2022 10:44 am
"Yes, I think we must. What good was any delay we caused if we cannot use it to free the land of poison when given the chance."
Dec 7, 2022 12:40 pm
Give me your exploration tactic as you make your way upriver to find the cause.

OOC:
Atticus will choose Scout again.
Dec 7, 2022 4:45 pm
OOC:
Grom will search along the path for anything 'interesting'

OOC:
Avoid notice for Koram, Scout for Haitith

Following the river, you soon come upon a group of burning mammoth scouts that seems to have some weird creature caged up on a travois. They are cutting off chunks of the creature and dropping it into the river. Two men are standing by and keeping a watch, though they seem to preoccupied to laugh at the creature's pain than paying attention to any attack.
OOC:
Assuming Igbork will be using Stealth as well. It will take an Occultism check to Recall Knowledge on the creature.

Igbork ducks down into the bushes. What is this creature? he whispers
It could be some kind of weird deer... he concludes after looking at it for some time
OOC:
Yes Igbork uses Avoid notice as his exploration activity
