Fa'ame cranes her neck to look back at the strange stream, internally noting her desire to follow it and see what wonders or horrors it leads to...
...but instead, she continues following her companions, glancing down at her reflection in the other puddles. "Hello you."She says to her own reflection. "Keep close and stay where I can see you, okay? We're in a very whimsical place. It's all too easy to get lost..."
With that settled, she continues walking with the others, forging their path towards the bandit camp.

Moneo, thinking it's kinda cute how his new companion talks to her reflection, looks into his own, and, realizing that he, too, is happy to see his own face smiles, gives himself a nod of acknowledgement, and follows along with the others, a bit more spring in his step knowing that not everything is crazy here.
Seeing some of the others acknowledging their reflections in the puddles, Barreknar purposely makes his way over to one of the larger puddles and looks at his own reflection. He had never given his reflection much though, is that really another Barreknar staring back at him? "If you're me, then you understand."
Barreknar will bring his morning star down on the reflection in the puddle.
As the water that remains in the puddle starts to settle again, though merkier, he sees a dirty version of himself. Barreknar smiles at it. "Ya, you'll do." Satisfied with the results of his test he looks at the others with a grin and stars walking again.
"All I see is a spirited satyr all too eager to let everything hang out."
A few seconds more of immature revelry pass and she returns to her search, feeling about in the muck for river stones.
You find a 4 stones that are the right size to easily take with you.
You do find yourself heading in the rough direction of the stream, before you arrive at your destination. A foggy marsh stretches out before you. Rickety causeways made of wooden planks (5ft wide) form a wide, web-like structure above the bog. Three hundred feet away, many of these causeways converge on an enormous, ivy-covered tree stump that rises a good ten feet above the twenty-foot-high fog bank that enshrouds it. This is what was described to you as the Brigands' Tollway. As it is narrow, I need a marching order as well as anything you might be doing as you go.
Moneo is happy to stick near behind Barreknar, being the one in the group he's known longest, and is clearly the biggest and strongest of the group; more so as they don't know what's coming up. He walks a bit more carefully than normal, and quiets his normal chatter down to nearly nothing, only occasionally whispering some inspiration for his orcish friend in front of him.
Fa'ame whispers to Moneo... "Should I scout ahead? I can change my form into something a bit less conspicuous... A bug for instance... See if I can locate the leader, nestle myself into his scarf, then transform back and give it a firm tug when the time is right."

Walking behind his large companion, Moneo replies to Fa'ame, "That could work as well actually. Good idea! go see what you can find."inspiring her as well.
It is as Moneoturns around to reply to Fa'amethat he notices there is a hunched, hooded figure walking with you. Before you can say anything, they throw of the cloak with a flourish, revealing a harengon with a long blue scarf, who winks at Moneo. The sound of bagpipes appear from up ahead which you recognise as the song the harengons were singing when you first encountered them. Agdonstarts singing the song as he bounds around the party. "If you want to tug my scarf, you have to catch me first" he then shouts at Fa'ame, lunging in with his branding iron. 16 to hit, for 6 fire damage, and you now have a magical brand shaped like three bouncing rabbits in a triangle. And Agdonis now invisible to Fa'ame.
Rather than fight directly, Eliaanore is caught a tad by surprise. She had previously been under the impression this was just an ally she hadn't met yet. Now, however, seeing the painful-looking brand, her flight or flight instincts kick in and she readies herself to dodge, quickly peering about for signs of any other harengon nearby.
[Perception: 11]
At the same time, she has a thought and reaches into her pocket...
Due to the spread out nature of the party, not all of you are in melee range. But yes, he is currently near the back of the group (so Barreknar could squeeze past and get to him with your movement just about)
Upon being struck by the branding iron, Fa'ame's reactive feral instincts take hold... The fungal patina that covers her skin erupts in a cloud of living spores, granting her renewed vitality... She likewise casts Healing Word on herself, hoping to restore the flesh burned by the branding iron.
She shouts to the others, "What did he do to me!? Where did he go!? Does anybody see him!?"
Realizing this is the one they were going to be after by that scarf, and comment about the scarf, Barreknar realized just how fast this oversized hare was and decided to try and take away his greatest strength. Barreknar ran up to the Agdon and let go of the morning star... and goes to tackle Agdon.
OOC: I'm not sure I've ever tried to actually grapple someone before, is it attack roll to see if you "hit" then do the opposing rolls or is it straight opposing rolls?
Straight opposing if you are trying to grapple him that is, if you are trying to grab his scarf there is a fixed DC given for that. Either way I will need an athletics check from you
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Moneo looks to the scarf nearly in circles around them, and says, "Compensating for something with that thing?"((wis DC 14 or 2 and dis on next attack))
Barreknar successfully grapples the speedy rabbit. Who shouts back at Moneo "Someone sounds jealous"(passed the save)
He tries to free himself on his turn, failing (rolled a 10 for Barreknar, and an 8 for Agdon). He then surrenders immediately blubbering and pleading for his life like a coward.
At the same time, Eliaanore who was looking around for others sees two skiffs emerge from the fog. Each skiff has two rowers, a lookout who are drawing bows, and a bagpiper. The rowers and bagpiper jump up ready to attack, but upon seeing Agdon pleading for his life, the scoff at him instead. "You are formidable fighters, we know these lands better than anyone. In exchange for not attacking us, we will happily provide you a skiff and take you somewhere you wish to go. There is a direct route to Downfall if you wish?"

You can hear the bagpipes which sound like they are coming closer. But due to the fog you can't see them yet (and likely, they can't really see you)

OOC: So is Agdon next to us while we take our turn, like in melee range? And how far away are these others if we can tell?
Due to the spread out nature of the party, not all of you are in melee range. But yes, he is currently near the back of the group (so Barreknar could squeeze past and get to him with your movement just about)

The brand stays there. The burning feeling goes, but the appearance doesn't change.

Also, for reference, the scarf is 35ft long. I know I said it was long but not sure I ever said hoowww long

Barreknar is going for the grapple:
