Frangipani will Shape Water constantly as they move along to try and make the path easier and supplement their water supply.
Lir grunts appreciatively.
Belated watch perception roll - 15 (rolled off sheet).
Frangipani’s efforts pay off and allow to most just over the 1/2 pace you would have been restricted to. You make 4 miles this first leg rather than 3, and your canteens are topped off nicely. The clouds remain heavy in the sky and you don’t have the benefit of the moons light, but the relatively unobstructed landscape is fairly easy to navigate for you.

You pass by a small rock outcropping and after the 3rd person walks by 3 swarms of angry bats come pouring out of the gaps between rocks and immediately attack the group.
Swarm1 vs Eberk Attack: 23 Damage: 9
swarm2 vs Bjorn Attack: 9 Damage: 5
swarm3 vs Frangipani Attack: 10 Damage: 8
( we won’t bother with initiative in this encounter. Just number the round in your post and try to stay in order naturally)
Seeing the swarm, Sparhawk is not sure whether to dive down and let them pass or attack. After they attack his friends, he feels he has no choice, pulls out Bernards wicked morning star, and takes a few swings at the nearest swarm (swarm 1) Bonus action: Hunters Mark:: Attack 1: Attack: 26 Damage: 12 hunters mark: 3
Attack 2: Attack: 20 Damage: 9
Eberk grumbles, “Gods forsaken Bane-rats.” He holds his holy symbol and casts Moonbeam at swarm 3.
Con save 14 damage 18 Half as much if successful
Sparhawk gets lucky and knocks down the entirety of swarm 1 with his 2 swings of the Morningstar.
Swarm 3 con save 7
The bats zip out of the moonbeam just taking a slight burn
Round 1:
Bjorn cries out in surprise and finds his weapon swinging automatically at the illuminated bats in the Moonbeam. He gets his wits together just in time to cast Green-Flame Blade, which sputters and flares in the dark. 14 for 5 magical slashing damage and 3 fire damage. If there's another swarm within 5ft of that one, the second swarm takes 10 fire damage.
He ducks and takes some steps away from the rocks. "Begone! Gah!"
Frangipani slashed at the swarm attacking her, " We are too big to eat, stupid things. Many mosquitos, eat them!"
Attack: 12 Damage: 7
Lir likes the cut of Eberk's jib and attempts a pincer movement by dropping moonbeam in front of the eacaping bats.
CON save: 16
Damage: 6.
Bjorns attack does a good job at hitting the bats as they escaped the moonbeams powers, leaving only a few left of that swarm, the flame jumping into swarm 3 as well
Frangipani’s blade cuts a swath through the swarm and combined with the leaping flame from Bjorns attack, finishes off swarm3
The remaining bat attempt to flee, but run right into Lir’s Moonbeam and fall to the ground sizzling. Silence returns to the night.

"Why is everything here so terrible?" Bjorn groans.
"Thanks for the light, lads. Hard to fight in the dark."
"Well, at least we have your cheery disposition Bjorn," Sparhawk smiles cleaning off a few crushed bats from his morningstar. "Yuck...."
As they trudge through the dark mud,
"Now that we've had a few days, anyone have any ideas what I should tell Dietrich? Our goal is to get to civilization first. But we still have the job with him if we want it. Could be, we find other options here that are more desirable. I'd also like to let Irongrass know that we completed our mission."
"Aye, I've an idea. We should bill him for every day we've been stuck here. After all, we're doing reconnaissance or some such." Bjorn yawns. "I daresay we're working all through the night."
“Hum…” Sparhawk seems to seriously consider Bjorns suggestion.
“I believe he is paying us by the day. He may have things we can do prior to him arriving”
