The drow offers a short nod to Cratol in thanks, appreciative but not saying anything more then a short and soft, "Thanks", as she breaths heavily and slowly works to catch her breath. Zarra takes out a cloth to clean off her daggers, as well look to see if everyone else is okay.
Velon looks at his sword in amazement for a moment. "Really?" He then begins to walk back to the rear boat. "Glad I could help!" Grumpily he mumbles aloud but mostly to himself "I hate salad."
He does cheer up a little as he passes Zarra and gives her a light clap on the shoulder. "Nice work, fierce one."
He nods at Fay on his way by as well, partially in giving credit for fighting well but also sizing him up to ensure he's ok after taking a large blow.
Lia slings her bow on her back as she sees the strange creature collapse. " Well done everyone. What a strange creature it was. " She looks appraisingly at Zarra for a moment and nods slightly.
Stepping over quickly to Fay she examines his injuries. Lia places her hand on his shoulder and summons the healing energy of Sune. Warmth passes from her hand into Fay's body. " I hope that makes you feel a little better Ionneg. You worry me some times with your fearlessness. "
Lia also inspects the barbarian. " You seem no worse for wear. Well done in escaping, my friend. " She smiles and walks on. " Is everyone else okay and able to push on?"
Mari sheaths her blades as she eyes the creature curiously. She studies the group members for a moment before preparing to head on.
Specific Action: She cast cure wounds level 1 on Fay.

Fay stands there as the creature collapses, and then he is looking at Poljen. "Well met Poljen. 'Tis good to see ye." He walks up to the big man and removes some vegetation hanging off his shoulder. "Was her embrace all that ye hoped?" He chuckles.
He turns, feeling the warmth enter his body from Lia's spell, "Thanks tp thee Amillë, I feel much improved, although there still be some lingering pain." He looks around and sees Oswald, "And thanks to ye as well." He sheathes his swords and heads back to the rear skiff. As he passes Zarra he says, "Well done, ye passed one test. There be more to come."
The group picks up the dropped boats and moves on.
Shortly afterwards, back on the water again, the group spots a large horde of undead, mostly humanoid, in varying states of decay. Hundreds of them are slowly ambling across your path, a few thousand feet ahead.
Several of them appear to look in your direction, and they could hardly miss your presence, as you're out in the open. But the horde continues on, as if you were not there. It seems as if those warding amulets given by Silas are functioning properly.
Presently enough, they pass by, and you move on. But soon enough, the group spots movement again. Bullywugs, they appear to be on a patrol, or perhaps a hunt. They are moving away from the group, and so have yet to spot you.
Getting an accurate headcount is difficult. Two of them are riding on giant frogs and easy to track, but the rest are swimming in the water, occasionally disappearing beneath it. Ten would be a reasonable guess.

She quietly appreciated the acknowledgments, yet to Fay's words she withheld trying to brush them off by saying she did it to protect herself and the party because she didn't want to be alone. Still, Zarra saw how her actions help them to trust her more and felt conflicting emotions.
Yet on seeing the bullywugs she hides behind the others and draws her daggers saying, "Either we try to avoid them or attack them when they are not looking. Ambush them" Her tune was venum, as she was reminded of her last experience with them and not wanting to be captured again. Seeings the frog creatures left her on edge.
