On Patrol

Having arrived by boat you decided to join the scouts, for at lest a week anyway, to get the lay of the land by doing some simple reconnaissance for the expedition. In the morning you are directed by the clerk to get your assignment from Danoll, a veteran explorer who now manages the scouts leaving the dangerous work to those younger and a bit more foolish.

The guards at the west gate give a perfunctory inspection and wave you on as you head out after a you finish getting your assignment. The sun is rising above the horizon behind you and the sounds of birds and bugs almost hides the river sounds to your north. The road west of the base has been cleared and packed making the walk easy. Tall grass surrounds the road with trees rising further west. After a couple of minutes the trees are closer and the ground around the road is spotted with muds and water puddles as the grassland turns to a marsh. Soon you are among the trees and the road dwindles to a decent wagon track raised a foot above the waters of the swamp that now surround you.

The road leads to a fork with a simple wooden guard tower and a suspension and pontoon bridge connecting it to another watch tower to the west. A smaller track heads to the south, to the Grippli shamans mound. Greeting you the two guards wave you on through as you continue west and remind you the waters and thick vegetation hide a variety of local wildlife. These threats range from large alligators, swarms of fish that will strip you to the bones in seconds, poisonous snakes, and the ever-present flies.
The road continues on the far side of the second tower, which is taller and of sturdier construction with four guards. As you travel you see a variety of plant and animal life. Snakes, insects, frogs, lizards, water rats, squirrels, and an occasional larger beast known as dinosaurs. These large beasts are often hunted for meat by many of the intelligent species that moved into the area causing most of them to have learned to not wander too close to the road. Turning north then west you continue on following the path.
According to the map back at the base you leave the road and head south on a small animal track that had been expanded and packed down with regular traffic from payrolls is scouts like you. You begin moving more cautiously as your are forced to occasionally sloughing through thick mud, semi-solid ground, floating grasses, and a variety of other wonders of nature.

Everyone make a test for how well you move through the swamp and deal with its dangers.
A basic 2d6 unless you have a trait, heritage, or trade that could help in the wilds

With the arival of Tuit the trio becomes four. Two male, two female though Preslyn finds being taller than the smallest human femle he has ever seen feels odd to him. While human are the most diverse race it is unusuall for them to be much shorter than 5 feet tall. And while Emilia is larger than a Duende she is obviously no Dwarf though of a height with them.

Preslyn is by far the most exprienced in woodlore though Arry seem at least comfortable in the wilds. Though none are truely familiar with swamps you all manage to stay on the trail and mostly mud free, so far.

You wind south taking note of the animals in the area. Few dinosaurs come to the swamps anymore du to the expedition hunters targeting them, as larger and somplier prey, but you spt several aligators and a few other aquatic dinosaurs. The trail shows signs of frequent passage, helping you stay on track, as you follow it south.

Still waiting on Emilia's swamp trek test I will move the sotry on after she rolls this test

The party moves along the rough path with out too much difficulty and make their way out of the swamp before noon without any real danger. As the water ways become further and further apart and you footing more sure you find yourself walking through knee to waist high grass with clumps of bushes and trees spotting the area. Hills rise from the swamp, offer dryer footing but tending to be more overgrown, and throughout it all the number and variety of the dinosaurs increases. So far the herds have been small, ranging from 6 to 12. However you can see dozens in some of the larger herds further out over the hilly grasslands. The pathway you are scouting winds between the hills and tree clumps.

I need a marching order front/middle/back
I also need you to tell me of any precautions or activities you are taking as you scout the area along and around the path to the Library.
