Helg, Callum, and Adeline boarded the cargo barge, with Adeline piloting, and trailed along behind the party as Hwrulf tracked Aratheas and her captors. Due to the trees, the barge varied altitude between 20 to 60 feet at any given time. Hwrulf used his eternal ember as a light source as they moved, which gave them visibility ranging from 20 to 40 feet. Snagy rode astride Stingy beside the barge. The team up above made out the shape of a large boar-like lumbering creature heading toward them and warned the party. Several of the team activated enhancing magic as a wretched catoblepas lumbered through the swamp! The stench hit the team hard. The reeking monster was sickening, but Callum and Helg possessed magic items that reduced the impact for them.
Callum hit the creature with empowered scorching ray as leech hive shambling mounds clambered up out of the muck as well. The angered catoblepas breathed its poisonous gas across the entire team. Snagy and Stingy fell victim to the toxin and were forced to land on the barge. Nearly dead, only quaffing a stardust elixir saved his life. The shambling mounds hit several of the team, and swarms of leeches slithered free and engulfed party members. The sucking vermin drained blood and became a nuisance while Hekera and Hwrulf waded into the fight. Finch was able to provide the group with some information about leech swarms as Helg fired a searing light spell at the catoblepas and dropped a flame strike upon leeches and a shambling mound.
Callum killed the catoblepas with another empowered scorching ray. Finch and Hekera tried to climb ropes back up to the barge after Hwrulf and Hekera had slain the shamblers to escape the leeches. Callum stepped up and wiped out both swarms with fire snake.
With the foes vanquished, Helg used every charge from a wand of lesser restoration to patch up the team who were damaged by leeches and catoblepas breath. Meanwhile, Hwrulf searched the bodies and discovered a pair of gloves of flame, which Callum put on.
