Ember confident that two minds are better than one, walks onwards into the swamp towards the supposedly drier ground. Her first couple of steps dampen her confidence as she sinks to the waist in muck. "It can't be this bad forever.....can it?"

The fire seems to have come from the swamp itself, despite Talon's immediate instinct to look for enemies, not are apparent. The canopy is thick and overhanging, he has limited manuverability.
As best Mark can tell the way through is just to keep going forward, it looks a bit drier up ahead.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ember pats out the last few singes on the tips of her hair, and proceeds forward into the swamp following Mark and Son. She tries to step into their footsteps, so that she doesn't sink down into the muck. She travels slowly watching for signs of more flames as they move. Perception: 4 Stealth: 7 (no mods, I can't remember if I know these)

Ember sees what might be a path forward across some drier ground... Talon is relieved to be able to agree with her.

Ember dodges to the side as a gout of flame erupts beside her.

Son instictively starts looking for unusually large rats.
Can Talon tell what was the source of the flame? He will fly back 20ft the way they came.
d20: 5
Blue backs up as well.

Mark looks around, trying to identify the source of the flame, and if there's any indications of where/how to get through the swamp safely.
Nature? (no mod): 9

"Um. Maybe I should lead? I'm kind of fire resistant."

Mark nods to Son.
"It looks a bit drier straight up there, let's just keep heading through."

Son boldly takes the lead.
Survival: 8
((Finally! We might not die...))
((Son has a +0 to survival.))
Son sees a patch of drier ground that looks suspicious as second glance. A leaf is half submerged under the sandy surface...

"Uh...this all looks bad to me now that I'm up here. Maybe we should turn around and try another route."
Blue nods.
"Yeah. Where to now, do you think?"
