I was wondering what had happened. Wits Roll. Johanson is our hunter / trapper so I'd suggest him being our scout.Rolls

She did her best to navigate their travel. The maps were really all she had but, they were decent and a bit of math wasn’t beyond her capabilities when needed to calculate their location and where they should go next.

So Johnsan marks an XP.Johnsan didn't notice it in time to warn anyone, so before you know it, all of you, barring Johnsan, are standing in the middle of a bog, and one wrong step could mean that you sink into what might otherwise look like solid ground. How are you going to get out of this bog without drowning in the earth?

"Back back," Oxana says looking over her shoulder for her foot steps, "follow your tracks back out."
She sticks a hand out for Tatianna and Brother Irwin to take.

Johnsan didn't notice the bog before it was too late, so now he will take a moment to look around. He is looking for a nearby tree with an overhanging branch, a close non-swampy spot he can pull himself onto, or even just something he can use to slowly push himself out. While he looks, he is careful to only move his head, because panicking and flailing will only make him sink deeper.

"Is there anyway I can get a little help?"
OOC:
Is there a help action that can bump this roll up to a 10?

Brother Irwin doesn't realize anything is wrong before the cries of alarm sound from the others. By then, he's already surrounded by treacherous ground. Each grey-green patch looks the same to him, with no indication whether solid ground or sucking mud lay beneath the surface. The scribe stays put, heart beating fast inside his chest.
I think Johnsan might qualify for a Spout Lore roll, by the way. Being a hunter would probably mean he's encountered such things before. Perhaps @Falconloft can confirm.

OOC:
Johnsan, you looking around isn't Defy Danger, it's either Discern Realities or Spout Lore. Both are +Wits, so we'll use that roll.If you go with Discern, you get to ask one question. The ones that might be relevant are:
-- What here is useful or valuable to me?
-- What here is not what it appears to be?
If you go with Spout, I will tell you something interesting, but it's up to you to make it useful.

I think the most interesting thing I could tell you is that a lot of the trees right here are dead. Very dead. There's also a termite mound about fifty feet away.

She does her best to follow her own trail back and out of the bog. A foot splooshes deep into muck and she gets turned around. Suddenly nothing looks like it did and she’s now wet and muddy without any way to go. "I think I need some help. I can’t remember where I stepped and where I didn’t"

Am I alright or am I screwed with that 10 I rolled? Or should I do something else?May 18, 2024 3:58 am

My fingers are crossed that I can help get Tatianna out because with that roll she's really screwed.May 20, 2024 5:36 pm
OOC:
Sorry, couldn't get in front of a computer this weekend at all. Weekends are usually when I'm working on family/house stuff. @Emberskyes - YOu're definitely not screwed, but I was going to wait to see what @GameMaster did before I finalized any outcomes. I'll post tomorrow if nothing further happens today. May 20, 2024 7:22 pm
Oxana reaches out a hand towards Tatianna, "Take my hand," she says reaching up with her other hand to unpin her cloak just in case, "the ground feels solid here and I can still see my steps from before."
May 20, 2024 9:33 pm
Johnsan is going to look around to see nearby dead trees, wondering if he could use them to his advantage. He reaches out, trying to snap off a big dead branch, then plunges it into the mud in an attempt to help himself lift out of the mire.
OOC:
Would this be a Defy Danger roll?May 22, 2024 9:59 pm
OOC:
@GameMaster - That would be the 'make it useful' part of your Spout Lore outcome. It would be a bit churlish of me to require another roll.It's as you're discussing this that you notice the small opening in the nearby hillside. It's only big enough to crawl into, but perhaps it opens up more on the other side.

Oxana lets out a breath, "That was a close one." She whispers in the ever darkening gloom. "We definitely need to be more cautious. Everyone alright?"
She bends down and scrapes as much of the muck off her boots and skirt as possible.
"I don't much like the idea of spending the night here but I like the idea of tramping through this bog in the dark even less."
"Do you suppose that's a burrow of sorts Johnsan?" Oxana asks, "Might we be safe in there if it's abandoned?"
A thought pops into her mind, "Wait, what if it's a barrow?" Oxana looks at Brother Irwin, "Are there barrows out here?"
