"Well, i'm for helping these guys out. Plus we might be able to yoink another of those swords and then get the treasure from here. I am good with whatever though." Borg looks to the elder. "Can our client stay here until we return, so he isn't put in harms way? If not then we really can't help you guys out, plus you might be able to buy some of his wares."

"I'd rather stay with you guys." Mr. Migello says to the party. "I have a bad vibe about this place..."
"Then it is agreed." The elder says. "We shall watch you on your journey. If you are successful, you'll be rewarded." The elder taps the large chest again. "If you fail, you will make a good feast for our warriors."
OOC: feel like we should have decided this in the OOC group with the entire party... But eh, let's just move forward with Mr. Migello. Not like the lizardfolk are giving us directions on where to find the frogpeople.
EDIT: Or do they tell us where to find said frogpeople champions?
(I was mainly waiting to see if anyone else wanted to say something IC)
The elder gestures their staff towards one of the other lizardfolk. "This one will guide you through the sacred lands to your target. Do not stray from the path."
The one lizardfolk designated as your guide steps forward. His common is not as good as the elder's. "You follow, cart is target. Keep cart back bit."
After a few moments of getting things ready, and Mr. Migello looking very tense about the situation, the group follows the guide through the swamps for about 2 hours. The guide holds his hand up to stop the cart. "Cart wait here, you follow, scout quiet..." He says, pointing towards a thick area of foliage ahead and to the left.
(For those who want to scout ahead with the guide, please say so and make Stealth checks. This'll be a pass/fail average for those going, and no help available, as you'll be sacrificing your stealth for someone else. The others will be staying with the cart to protect Mr. Migello and his wares.)
OOC: What about Luthollal going scouting while invisible? Is that an automatic pass or a roll with advantage or a straight roll?
Friedrych looks around, not entirely comfortable with the whole situation. 'And now we're errand boys for lizardfolk?' He grumbles silently under his breath.'The things I do...' 'Lulu, still here?' 'Ready and waiting.' 'Could you please scout ahead? This entire thing got us on edge and I, for one, would not like any nasty surprises.' 'What kind of surprises do you like then?' 'The nice and pleasant ones, I suppose?' 'Lulu will remember that.' 'You dummy.'
With the mental equivalent of a wink, Luthollal flies off to check out the area the lizard guide is pointing towards. 'No worries, Mr. Migello.' Friedrych says to his employer. 'I'm sure we can handle whatever comes our way.' Friedrych grabs hold of his newly acquired shortsword and takes it out of its makeshift scabbard. 'Just in case...' He says holding the sword in his dominant hand.
Crispy follows and says nothing the whole time, already on edge from the lizardfolk, and annoyed their quest got sidetracked. If anything decided to attack, she would take out her frustrations in a creative way.
(Crispy, if you are following, please make your Stealth check.)
The scouting group follows the lizardfolk to the underbrush and crawl beneath it. They get a scene of the group ahead of them. About two dozen bullywugs are in this small encampment, with another giant toad sleeping in the middle. The bullywugs appear to be rummaging through some crates that look like they have recently been placed there. (If anyone from the group wants to use a Perception or Investigation, they may do so. Alternatively, you can help one of the others.)
Crispy surveys the area and can see there are signs of this not being the bullywug's camp initially. It seems like something else lived here beforehand; perhaps the lizardfolk, or maybe a tribe of swamp people. There are slight signs of battle scars on a three of the bullywugs, indicating them as toughened and hardier than the others there.
P.S. Also back from my holiday now. Will probably be posting slightly infrequently for the first couple of days but will try and get back to normal service this week.
Lulu gets a bramble to the face, blinding her temporarily.
The lizardfolk guide looks to the others and gestures to return to the main group. Upon returning the guide allows the group to dilvulge any information they have to note from their initial check of the camp. "Not long, the sun falls." The lizardfolk says. "Gets cold, we go to rest. Enemy also rests then."

Akaas will follow along, staying toward the middle of the pack if that works for everyone else.

Sure, i'll stealth along
Stealth: 5
I'll also use Investigation, if I can, to see if I can tell what they're doing, specifically: 14
OOC: Is it Perception/Investigation or Insight/Investigation?? The post says "Tooltip Not Found" so that might just be a spelling error in there.

Luthollal will take a Perception check then: 10
And we're back off to a great start. Lulu can't see jack...
