"Uhm... welllll bugs don't usually bother much on account of the carapace." Three taps a cheek that -- while it appears it should've been pliable like flesh, makes a noise akin to striking a far harder substance. "But, it never hurts to be prepared! Or so Boss Man liked to say a lot!" She said, accepting what repellent is offered with a smile. Turning briefly to Toot Toot next, the chimera looked about ready to say something, but stopped herself short to regard Rivon(and Taman, had he'd not already parted by then), seeming to wait on further assurances from the pair.

"I'm good on bug juice", says Rivon as he applies a dose.  

(OOC: 50 uses of repellent...now 49)

Flask of Wine pipes up and says, "I think where we need to go is going to be somewhere near the Swamp of Sorrows. So we'll head south, and then cut West at the river's end. Sound like a plan to you folks?"

"Don't ask our opinion.  If we knew where to go, we wouldn't have needed a guide!  Lead on."

Out of curiosity Shere touches Threes cheek as he hands her some insect repellant "Interresting indeed Senorita Trace." Careful of the teeth of course "My apologies." He turns to Toot Toot and hands him a vial "Mind if I call you T.T. ? I'm sure yourr god will prrotect you as much as Gato Caballero would. But some of the insects of Chult, would use you as food for their young"

Considering he hasn't been to Chult in awhile 19 History Swamp of Sorrows 

 

 The Swamp of Sorrows is a leech infested swamp with tales of loss and betrayal. "Woe to the man who enters the swamp, for he shall never return." is a phrase often heard when the swamps are mentioned.

"I rememberr a song about that swamp. " Shere removes his lute from his back and begins to play a sorrowful song.

" 🎶 Beware the bog of sorrow and loss,🎵 Woe is what you'll find. Death would be kind to those who are doomed to travel 🎶Lost in the Swamp of Sorrows forever in time. 🎶So, stay on the trail the or woe is mine.🎶"

He finishes with a strum of the stings.

"Even I fearred to trread this place, it is full of monsters that will eat you."

"Not if I eat them first!" Three boldly declared. "I almost got a chance to eat a dragon a while back. And I would've too! But the darn thing was such oversized chicken, and ran off on us!" She said exasperated, before then cupping her chin in thought. "Come to think of it... I wonder if they taste like chicken too? Or maybe alligator? Been while since I had that..." She trailed off from there mumbling further off topically before abruptly snapping to attention at Flask. "Anyhow, sounds good to me! And I'm ready to go whenever!" She assured, intending to along the way to finish applying the insect repellent. 

When everyone says they're ready to go, River Mist says, "Alright, let's go then! This should be a really fun adventure! When do you guys want to setup camp? Or do you want to setup camp at all? We could travel straight through the jungles at night, but I wouldn't really suggest it, that's when all the big baddies come out."

Shere puts his instrument away. "No," He shakes his head  "Only travel durring the day. You know betterr, Mist. But I like, your enthusiasm." He laughs "Anyways, I have a trrick I've learrnt that'll keep us safe at night." He follows the group when they start off.

"I assume these aren't the delicious sorta big baddies, huh? In that case, uhhh... I guess so long as we have an hour or so to get camp set-up in daylight with this trick of Shere's here in mind, that should do it." Three said, if thought without her usual confidence. She shot Rivon and Fujin a glance as well as if looking for assurances from the clearly more experienced duo. Though ultimately, no answer would settle down the nervous energy that seemed to infect the chimera, who seemed primed to get a proper move on just as soon as the guides began leading the way out.

Toot Toot says to the group "We need not fear the night for the light of Moonmaiden shall watch over us" As he says this, he touches a near by object and it begins to glow with a dim greyish light (using the cantrip Light).

"I'm fine with a low budget inn if that's all we can find."

Shere tilts his head in askance at Rivon. "Si, very low budget Inn"  He laughs.

ooc: Ok, cue the T-Rex crapping on us while we sleep 🐲Land of the Lost movie style 

Fujin takes some of the bug repellent and rubs it on his skin (assuming it's early in the day and we are leaving right now), following the rest of the group and keeping a watchful eye on the people we pass, making sure there aren't any pouches of coin being swiped.

Perception: 6

Flask of Wine and River Mist look at each other with a quick glance, then Flask turns to the group and says, "Well, better now than never. We've got a good 2-3 hours travel before we stop for lunch, so if any of ya' need any snacks for the road, make sure you got 'em handy." She then looks over at River again and says, "River Mist will be our scout while travelling, so you will see him popping in an out to give timely reports and hopefully warn us of any dangers or pitfalls we may be walking into. Any questions before we head off, or should get to marching?"

At the reminder about snacks, Three startles for a second, before snatching up what remained of the partially chewed up mess that was a raptor. "Snack secured! And, uh, rations too!" She assured. "And I guess,..... uhmmmmm... So like, what sorta nighty night dangers that we gotta worry about? More big stompers like we saw in the city, or other stuff? Also! No wait, uhh... yea, no that's like pretty much it for now. But if I think of something, we can always walk and talk about it later anyhow."   

"Shere shrugs and addresses Mist and Wine "I suppose you two don't get sarrcasm. But arre you surre you want to go it alone scouting in such a dangerrous place?" He gathers his gear and waits by the door. "I can disappearr and stalk with the best of our kind."

Showing his impatience in wanting to go. His tail moves back and forwards like a snake being charmed.

Then he addresses his new friends 

"What is this expedition, about anyway?" 

Fujin turns to Shere when he asks his question to the group. "Killin' things, snaggin' loot, seein' places, avengin' a friend of a friend while we be at it. Oh, and I guess findin' some ancient jade stuff fer them there scholarly folk that hired us." He rolls his shoulders and walks up next to Shere, also announcing his readiness.

"Hmm, tell me morre about the people that hirred you and the, Ancient Jade. Is it supposed to be, Maagic?"
