Introduction
We continue at 7PM on the 10th of Laurilden just after the party has established a camp for the evening just uphill on the north shore of the Vargwater River. The group is making good progress towards the Mikhel Peaks and Old Greybeard and should be entering the foothills of the range around noon on the next day. That's assuming, though, that their travels are uninterrupted by the ferocious inhabitants of Curmidden's inland jungle ...
We found a place to camp - no fire and all watches were uneventful.
Continuing West near the river the ground started getting soft and the river slowed due to a depression that grew marshy/swampy as we continued. We headed NW to work our way around the swamp and spotted bridges across the swamp and they seemed to go straight through the swamp on the dry ground, so we took the bridges.
Rallion found tracks of wolves, monkeys, and snakes. We travelled a long ways and to the South in the mist spotted glowing orbs, Will-O-Whisps and avoided them. We soon saw figures on the opposite end of a bridge. Rallion approached and used his scepter's ability to speak with them. Their faces peeled back revealing snake, but they were friendly and too us to Clarissa.
We entered a crude village of mud huts resembling beaver dens with more wolf creatures and monkeys with octopus arms, about 30 creatures total. Then a woman with the human sized head of a duck comes out, and is Clarissa. Clarissa knew Canis' wife who helped her reject brutish ways. When Jager's illusions fell, they left. They only want to be left in peace. Clarissa was a washer woman in Midmark sold into slavery by Judge Grell to Jager. She was glad when we told her Grell was dead, and relieved that the slave trade was disrupted.
We told her of the current state of Jager's valley and the DVLs and that there are remnants of humans from Midmark, Vargen, and other settlements trying to organize against the DVLs.
Kauri then gave her a recipe and ingredient list so that they can make their own healing potions and cure poison potions. Rallion said that if the West is safe, we may be able to get word to them. If they don't hear from us, then don't go West. Rallion did not give his name.
We continued on and as we went we were soon at the end of easy travel in the swamp and had to slog through mud for a while.
Finally, we reached the end of the swamp and the edge of the broken ground around the mountains.
About 4:00 PM we came across a statue of a woman with the following inscription:
The Lady of Revolutions, Who Stood on the Precipice of a New Age’s Rebirth, Irritant of XenoTel
We realized that this is Prixithalma. One hand pointed generally South in the direction of Xen Khel and moved a bit. The other held a hear that was half realistic and half stylized.
Myrientaxus - Name inside the container inside the base of the statue.
