The party finds some ground that is not wet and cut out a camp from the foliage. The local bugs are beginning to be annoying. Just as the sun is setting (technically no one is asleep yet) the party is surprised to see a lizard man coming at them at a clip. The lizard man is growling and moaning almost in a fever as it half stumbles half trots, sort of, towards the party.
The lizard man is obviously hostile and coming in for an attack so the party defends themselves.
Kayle brings his sword to bear and takes a stab at the lizard man but misses.
Tesk gets the first hit with his longsword, doing noticeable damage to the enemies body. It is immediately obvious this lizard man has been dead for some time as the stench from it almost overcomes the parties senses.
Doro lo lets an arrow fly and hits the target, it does not drop the thing.
The undead lizard man swings an awkward fist at Kayle and barley hits him (3 damage). Kayle retaliates with his sword, chopping the lizard man in two, finishing off the foe (the battle is over).
Fort Whetstones walls are not made of wood, but stone. Edited: Oliron on 18th Aug, 2011 - 9:28am
Leo I am sorry for the mix up, I was pretty tired last night and must have mixed up the two characters.
You dispose of the rest of the corpse pushing it into the slow moving water. You find an old large stick, using it to post its head out of camp the direction you consider to be the front.
The rest of the evening flies by with no problems. Your party wakes refreshed and ready to go early the next morning, it is already warm.
Kayle will get his things ready and does his best to leave no trace that they were there. But after looking at the path he carved through vegetation he figures it is hopeless.
When all the others are ready, he will take the front and continue cutting a path to their destination.
The party pushes on towards Fort Whetstone. They are fraught with more of the same, thick vegetation and mucky terrain. After only a few hours They come to a clearing and can see the Fort in front of them. Approaching it (60 feet away), they are stopped suddenly by someone shouting from the walls.
Voice from the Fort, "Who goes there, lie your weapons down, we will come out to you!" Edited: Oliron on 19th Aug, 2011 - 6:18pm
Aleric unsheathes his longsword and lays it at his feet along with his shortbow and quiver. Shouting his reply, he states, I am Lord Aleric Cousland of Parlainth. I wish to speak with your captain if I'm permitted to."
