CHICKENBONES

Kelar used a pole as Luc remained in the lookout trying to be alert for any danger. They found themselves getting weaker and more tired as they went deeper into the swamp stream. A giant tree forked the river in two. As Luc maneuvered to pick one side and pass, Kelar became swept away by branches that started trying to grab him. He was grabbed, found himself in the air, and then he noticed the tree had a giant maw at its core.

As he screamed, arrows swiftly made the branches let go of him. Someone wandering the swamp side kept on showering the tree with arrows. Kelar attacked the tree as well, until it stopped its unnatural movements and fell on one side of the river. His newfound ally stepped forward, a ranger elf named Agys. After exchanging words, Agys decided to stay with the small group while he learned more about the new lands he had wandered in through the mists.

Passing by side forks, too small for persuit using the raft, they reached an opening in the river. To the front the opening of still waters ended up in thick swirling mists. To the right and to the left there were mangroves on the edge as well as thick willows behind them that went us high in the sky. As they decided to go to the right, the way of willow trees began to be replaced by very tall sugarcane.

After a few turns, they found themselves at the shack of ChickenBone. Kelar made a deal with Chickenbone… the old voodan took a string of his hair in exchange for life for Sir Fred, who was mostly dead. Sir Fred woke up, and although weak and burnt, he was back. Chickenbone warned them they could stay the night but be gone at dawn. Colorful frogs started filling the surroundings and the door frame until the morning. When they headed out to get back into the raft they were gone.

Luc doesn’t appear too confident, and keeps looking to the side of the shore and towards the back. The shore has some sort of stationed net, and Luc keeps sayig he sees something or someone that hovers on the waters then vanishes. The group decided it could be some type of fishing/hunting ground. Finding a clearing from the mangroves, Kelar and Agys decide to jump in and check the area. The search reveals ruins hidden under moss, thick vines and swamp foliage.
