Agathar touches the point hit by the mini-storm as to see if it still tickles, then shrugs and says: "never seen something like that, indeed..." "If a storm is coming, maybe we'll need a shelter... somehow..." he looks around to see how far the nearest shore is.
Leafric will have also bought 10 days of rations for 2gp and will encourage the group to travel at a medium pace, she doesn't want to drag out being in this exposed and unfamiliar terrain.
She looks at the creature with a tilted head when it doesn't respond to any communication attempts. When it accepts the gift from Daegal, she wrinkles her nose after it disappears, "Odd. I'll take any boons offered our way, this place seems unforgiving otherwise."
Look up to the relatively blue sky, Leafric will say, "Agathar, I think the creature was playing with you." She levels her eyes at her companion, "I'm not convinced it was an omen of a storm to come, but rather a trick or perhaps a game."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Half way through the day and still unsure of this Rokah guy, she will ask him questions and try to analyze his body language and demeanor. Does he tell the truth, dance around it, inflate it, or seem to lie? Insight: 14
Clearing her throat, she'll try to engage in light conversation while asking questions like: "How many times have you made this trip? What brought you to the area in the first place? What does the Flaming Fist have that you want? What do you estimate our odds at success?"She feels okay, but not good and certainly not great about what they've gotten themselves into. The options seemed like slim pickings, so she's going along with this for now if it benefits her group.
The nearest shore is only a few hundred feet away. Rokah says: I´ve made this trip maybe 3, 4 times. I was brought here by an organisation to find more about this area, and the flaming fist is one of the problems blocking my progress. If you can create a decent distraction, we have an almost certain chance of success.
it seems that he is telling the truth.
As you pull further out into the bay of Chult, you see a large merchant ship caught in a whirlpool a few miles away. a massive shell sticks out of the water near it, and a Lout growl splits the air. Agathar recognizes it as draconic. It says: "Do you have the fee? the ship then sends out some rowboats, which are swallowed by an enormous, draconic mouth coming from the water. the waters then get calmer, and the monster disappears.
"Did you see that? I clearly listened a 'Do you have the fee' question. That reminds me to some rumors we have heard before... the dragon turtle if I remember correctly"
"Surely we can't say this trip is somewhat boring..." he looks to the whirlpool spot. Agathar looks to Rokah, "Maybe it is time to brief us on your distraction plan: what situation will we face once we arrive to destination?"
“And to Agathar’s point, how long will you need to gather your information? 10 minutes? 30?” Leafric holds tightly onto the side of the boat with one hand, her knuckles turning white under the strain. She’s never liked being on the water much.
"What are your thoughts for the distraction Agathar and Leafric? I can use magic to give us a headstart at escaping, should we need it. I know some of us aren't terribly stealthy."
"That would be good, except if they ask to see our charter of exploration. I am not gifted like you in that regard. Perhaps we'll see something else presents itself when we get closer to their camp." Daegal looks thoughtful.
Leafric muses as they exit the boat, "I can be chatty or convincing. I've certainly fooled a man or two with a good performance. Faking an argument and then running might be good, but open to continual brainstorming."
You trudge through some mud for many hours, and you all develop a raging thirst. there is a stream flowing through some of the mud, however it is rather brown and opaque. Rokah seems to be unaffected.

Do *we* have the fee?
"Did you see that? I clearly listened a 'Do you have the fee' question. That reminds me to some rumors we have heard before... the dragon turtle if I remember correctly"
Leafric, eyes betraying her as they go wide, asks Rokah, "Okay, if you've done this before, how do we get around that?"

He simply glances at it and states matter-of-factly: "our boat is too small to be of notice."
"Let's hope so. But maybe Agathar can talk to it if it does." Daegal holds his breath a little as the near the spot.
"Surely we can't say this trip is somewhat boring..." he looks to the whirlpool spot.
Agathar looks to Rokah, "Maybe it is time to brief us on your distraction plan: what situation will we face once we arrive to destination?"
“And to Agathar’s point, how long will you need to gather your information? 10 minutes? 30?” Leafric holds tightly onto the side of the boat with one hand, her knuckles turning white under the strain. She’s never liked being on the water much.

“just a couple of seconds. I thought that you could think of your distractions when you arrive.”
"What are your thoughts for the distraction Agathar and Leafric? I can use magic to give us a headstart at escaping, should we need it. I know some of us aren't terribly stealthy."
"I can rely on words, I could talk with them and distract them telling something about our noble quest... Or we could make up a good fight..."
"That would be good, except if they ask to see our charter of exploration. I am not gifted like you in that regard. Perhaps we'll see something else presents itself when we get closer to their camp." Daegal looks thoughtful.
after 4 days of travel along the coast, Rokah steers the boat to the beach he ties it to a tree, and states: "Now we go into the Swamp."
Note: remove 4 days of rations from your inventory
Agathar wears his equipment, ready to any possible fight and follows Rokah.
OOC: 4 rations removed.
Daegal looks a bit excited at the mention of a swamp and follows Agathar and Rokah.
OOC: Removed the rations as well.
Leafric muses as they exit the boat, "I can be chatty or convincing. I've certainly fooled a man or two with a good performance. Faking an argument and then running might be good, but open to continual brainstorming."
*rations removed*

You trudge through some mud for many hours, and you all develop a raging thirst. there is a stream flowing through some of the mud, however it is rather brown and opaque. Rokah seems to be unaffected.
Which his experience living in the wilds, Daegal will refrain from drinking from the stream at the moment.
"How much farther Rokah?" Daegal asks trying to think of something else.
