Sailing on into the gloom, you notice a gradual change in your surroundings: the vast open lake becomes fragmented by mudbanks and islets into a series of bayous, each rimmed with bubbling algae and marsh reeds. From a bird's-eye-view, this entire area might look similar to a giant, sprawling Rorschach test. The waters turn murky and Mender, who has been thusfar unsuccessful at clam-spotting, is forced shield his facial orifices (perhaps claiming a spot on the raft with the goliath and his newfound pup friend - though some dimension adjustments may be required).
In addition, each of you begins to see a growing number of frogs, toads and bats which call these shadier coves home, and unfortunately, where predators are to be found lurking their prey are too... Soon, the air fills with clouds midges and mosquitoes. These relentlessly nip at your exposed areas and even burrow through your clothing, making further travel a rather uncomfortable experience. Mimzy suffers worst from this assault, her fair skin perforated by rows of swelling bites, and receives the poisoned condition for two hours.

Mugwort and Mimzy...
With a roll of 51, I need each of you from your elevated position atop the broom to make a perception check.
As the water becomes more clouded and mirky, Mender makes his way towards the icy raft and clings to the goliaths improvised ore. After climbing up the oar and then on to the back of the goliath, he would cling there with his legs standing on the back of his belt and one hand holding on to his shoulder. With his scaley snout sticking out over Kaelroc's other shoulder, he would take in the sights of the swamp.
"I never found any pearls... and I'm pretty sure those golden rock things I tossed in the boat won't work for the spell either. Not that it matters at the moment since Mimzy took back the mirror." The kobold would mention into the goliaths ear. "Hey Miimzy and Mugwort... You guys see anything up there? are we getting close to the ruins?" He would shout with his mouth still very close to Kaelroc's ear. "Whoops, sorry."
It's okay Little Dragon.Kaelroc continues to gently push the oar through the water. His mind begins to drift... and a small smirk can be seen across the Goliath's face.
Excitedly he thinks: I BET THIS IS WHAT PIRATES FEEL LIKE... yarg.... a parrot(kobold) on his back is just like a shoulder... he ponders. Those frogs over there are preparing to board the ship.... Imagining the mosquitoes as tiny little arrows being fired at him...

You swear you have seen something like this though cannot pinpoint where or when. The creature looks similar to a golden pheasant but larger, with darting vermillion eyes. Even as you observe, it begins to slink back into the undergrowth out of sight.

Hi there! I'm a Christian musician based in Canada :)
Mender would glance down towards the golden rocks... still wondering what they are. (I rolled a while back after looking at them but I don't know that it was ever decided if Mender figured them out.)
You have scrutinized these pebbles for a while now... you have seen nothing like the mineral on your island home, and are unsure as to what value (if any) they hold.
~~
Kaelroc...
Looking out across the water, the pup beside you begins to growl suddenly and without warning, grey hair bristling and eyes affixed on a patch of reeds nearby. Peering into them, you cannot quite make out what you are looking for when... SFFFT! With arrow-like accuracy, an avian form, its brightly colored plumage motion-blurred, darts toward you. Please roll a DEX saving throw.
Reacting fast, you are able to shrug off this flurry of feathery fury as the creature fails to dig its talons into your Thayan Breathguard. With a frustrated screech, it attempts to retreat back into the undergrowth - though you may make an opportunity attack if you wish.
Mender swings and strikes true with his dagger, scattering feathers. The exotic thing squawks and crumples, falling to the 'deck' with a soft thud. Everyone present may roll a nature or history check if they wish, but it will be more difficult for some than for others to determine what this creature is.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Wow! I cannot believe that I got it.." The kobold would reply with a look of surprise. He would then slip down the back of the goliath and inspect the creature while trying to prevent the wolf from munching on it.

Off in the far branches of a blackened tree, you catch the shadowy flicker of a bird-like shape... roll a history check.

Hi there! I'm a Christian musician based in Canada :)
Mimzy is just enjoying the ride on the broom snuggled up behind Mugwort relaxing not really doing much of anything.
Kaelroc let's out a low guttural... yaarrg... with his eyes on the horizon he continues to push Mender, Pup'erson, and himself through the swamp.

OOC: Would Mender get a chance to attack it as well since I am essentially on Kaelroc's back?
Mender...
Go ahead.

The kobold would duck when the creature swoops down before quickly pulling a dagger from his belt and swinging hard at the bird.
Attack: 10 Damage: 5
Kaelroc holds his ground and avoids losing the Kobold or pup on the raft. He loudly bellows at the bird...
You fly like a chicken who has had too much feed! Your mother was a Seagull and father a bat! Kaelroc sending a rude gesture towards the bird.
