Act II: Ill Fortunes (Part 2, the morning after)

Re: Act II: Ill Fortunes (Part 2, the morning afte

You are suddenly reminded that the Vistanis were supposed to follow you using potions—at least according to Weiryn—but you fail to notice any traces of them, so much so that you wonder if they simply changed their minds.

You approach the point where the Ivliss rivers widens and spreads into the land, creating a grey morass of wetlands, clouds of buzzing insects, and gnarled twisted trees which match well with the ever-present grey mist of the valley.

You find a couple large twisted trees which look like they would be strong enough to hold your horses

Durgrim stops the cart by the trees, then sweeps the area with his detect undead before dismounting. "As good place as any, I ken. We walk from here?"

Durgrim will notice the area is free of undead. Through the fog you spot large forms which might come from a ruined wall, some quarter of a mile (about 411 meters for those using metric) or so farther into the swamp.

Ujjaya points silently, and starts heading towards the shadowy shapes.

Weiryn can't shake the feeling that he's missing something, especially with what he saw in the minds of the Vistani, but nods as he ties his horse off and follows the others.

Knowing that he is looking for a magical artifact, he casts Detect Magic every 6 minutes or so, concentrating until the vision granted by the cantrip begins to fade.

OOC:

So, I've got a constantly renewed 60 foot cone emanating from me to search for magical auras. 3 foot of wood or dirt, a thin sheet of lead, 1 foot of stone, and 1 inch of common metal will block it.

As you make your way through patches of dead-grey reeds and small stands of moss-hung trees toward the ruins, still a hundred and fifty yards ahead of you (about 137 meters), a large stretch of water blocks your path. It seems pretty deep, but a shallow and narrow stretch seems to offer the best way through the more dry ground. A cloud of buzzing insects hovers in the way, however, droning ominously in a strangely deep pitch. An acrid smell of blood washes over you.

You can place your characters along the western (left) edge of the map representing your marching order. Also, time for another Perception check.

Veroth hisses a warning at the stench and sound of insects. Hovering 10 feet above the ground, he peers into the area, trying to discern the body.

For a moment, both Roland and Ujjaya could have sworn they heard some splashing behind them at a distance of about 50-60 feet, however, Ujjaya's attention is diverted from the splashing behind the party to a large dark shape lurking under the surface of the water near the crossing point.

Since Durgrim is still detecting undead, he will notice that the cloud of insects buzzing ominously in front of the party is composed of undead insects! (an undead swarm).

"I thought I heard something behind...wait, there's something there, just underneath the surface!" Ujjaya points to the spot near the crossing where he sees the dark shape.
