The team found themselves turned around in the dark and struggling to follow the tracks. The group put together their resources and tried to navigate. For a while, they were led off course by a pair of will-o-wisps but realized the danger and turned back. However, they did discover the remains of previous victims and recovered some treasure which included a frightening magical skull known as a gravemouth. Examining it, they learned they could insert a brain into the skull and utilize speak with dead.
As dawn broke across the swamp, boggards rose up from the muck. Marshpiercers armed with bows fired upon Snagy while a croakbrute marked Hwrulf and led several in a charge against him. A stalker and a fen marauder came around the other side. Adeline fired spell-enhanced arrows upon the assailants. Helg mortified his flesh and cast a tremendously enhanced flame strike while Callum cast an empowered fireball. The fiery explosions injured the bullywugs as Hwrulf, Finch, and Hekera waded in. Meanwhile, Snagy charged with his lance through the sky. The foes landed several telling blows, but the combined might of the party was too much for them. The fen marauders and croakbrute were slain, which broke the morale of the rest. They fled into the swamp. The group searched the bodies and pressed on.
Soon they caught sight of a creature scuttling through the brush. He attempted stealth but realized they had already noticed him. They were pretty certain he was a goblin. He was short, with green skin and large pointed droopy ears. His crude clothing was dirty from mud and water. The goblin was old, leaning on a crooked wooden staff with dangling bone trinkets. His yellow eyes gleamed with mischievous intelligence and a surprising air of wisdom. He glanced about looking for a way to escape, and realizing there was none, he stopped and faced them. He leaned upon his cane. “Mmmm…” he said. “Looking for the sorceress, you are. Tracks, you follow.” His yellow eyes looked them over. “Cautious, you should be. Taken by the Mirelord, she is. Boggards and giants he has many. Nada, am I. The vapors said you would come.”
