Broken Lords. Thank you. This place ex gives me the creeps. All
right, then let's press on. I suppose we push forwards all ranks.
You make your way into the cypress grove and there is a pretty steep incline
in the ground beneath your feet. It seems to level off somewhat when it
is about depending on your height waste deep or chest deep. Barber. This
sucks. Pedra opens her mouth as if she wants to say something, comes
up empty and just shuts it again and just groans. I imagine's a lot
of grim looks looking forward toward the island area. Yeah, keep your eyes
open. We have no idea what's in this grove. With that, I'm
gonna be actively observing my surroundings. All right, give me a survival check
real quick, because like I feel like I just walked into a trap.
Nice role, thank you. A total of three successes. So this is
definitely the exact kind of swamp that you would expect to find. Alligators are
snakes in yep, it's probably a safe bet to assume that there could be
venomous snakes here as well. Okay, should I roll observation now or because
I am going to be keeping an active lookout for that? Did that roll
any momentum? Cory? Yes, yes, that roll generated one point of
momentum. Note to self, make another anti toxin when we sleep. Oh,
that's a good call. Do we have one? We have one?
Okay, we might need more lightly yeah, all right. It looks like
if you push, you'll be able to get to that island by nightfall.
All right, Well, yes, we're pushing them. Yes, so we're
sleeping in the trees, pushing for it, thinking about my leg and full
actively melting like candlewax. The water is actually deep enough here that you can
move about as quickly as you can move and waste deep water or chest deep
water. It varies. Might take some of the weight off my hip at
least exactly. Yeah, that's good. Well, you can also use Ricardo
as a crutch of sorts. Ricardo shrugs, I'm so dirty. He is
the beef boy gets us to that fucking island by nightfall. Just a tree
climbing beef boy. Yep, everyone's favorite Himbo. Ricardo is not smart,
I can tell you that much. Most his brain cells are devoted to ladrone
exactly from killing Damp. He's gonna like learn philosophy or some shit once she's
dead. He's because he's got so much three brains. Oh my god,
there's gonna be a period where he doesn't know what the thing, think about
what to do with all those thoughts. But then he'll he'll, he'll recover.
You were trapped in the valley, but the real prison was ron.
Okay, that's actually true, which makes me uncomfortable. So it's continually from
another The drone is just your own personal mind prison. I got it to
set yourself free. I will like killing Isabella the drone right anyway, that's
the key to my to my salvation. Wow murder. Anyways, So yeah,
you're you're big in your way, you're pushing horror. Let me let
me totally not roll some dice off screen for a minute. The pause is
tense. Oh I don't like it all right. So there's a point in
which you get fairly close to one of those big fish because it is not
particularly afraid of you. It kind of swims over like it wants to see
what's going. Could I have another survival test from Optimer, because again this
is similar to his home experiences. This one is going to be a difficulty
three. I see gotten a new title on Optimer. Yes, I'm spoiling
a fortune point on this. Okay, I was actually gonna think I have
destroyed this starts three, four, six success. The total extra spicy because
one of them credit. I don't actually roll an extra one for spending the
fortune point. You just automatically succeed. W Yeah, automatically roll a one
effectively? Yeah, okay, six, So I added one as if I
rolled an extra dice. Now this is a lord test, so you could
ask for more information if you want. Okay, this fish is an alligator
gar please okay, elaborate. Okay, So I have how many questions I
get to ask five. You can't. You got six successes on a difficulty
three, so yeah, three theoretically three yes, and there's two more.
I guess there's two momentum in the pool. Any left over? Okay?
Um? I suppose question one? Is this a carnivorous fish? Absolutely shit?
Uh. This particular one that swims over towards you is about four and
a half feet long. Whoa you imagine if you got it out of the
water, might weigh twenty hundred thirty pounds. Fucking Jesus. Okay, is
it particularly tough, like is it known to have like particularly hard scales?
Or what a sphere or an arrow? Basically, just do this fucking thing.
It would be killable with a spear or an arrow. They are fast
moving when they want to be, and in the water they are much much
stronger than a man is in the water, especially in a waiste deep water.
Yeah yeah, yeah us versus wild. I could feel Corey rubbing his
grimy little fingers together, going, I got a fucking entire swamp. I'm
gonna put these fuckers through. Well, you did a bump. It's not
like in my notes I named it the swamp of Suffering or a fucking course,
you didn't know the swamp of Illington. I'm gonna relay what I what
I know back to the group. Do you have any other questions before we
move on with that? Personally kind of but like or rather, there's a
lot that I'd like to know, but I don't know how to phrase any
of it. I mean, what is the first question you ask yourself whenever
you encounter a type of wildlife? Is it edible? I forgot I was
speaking to a deranged person. What if the first at a normal person would
have when they encountered some type of the wildlife that they am I in danger?
Oh? Obviously we're in danger. We got a fucking carnivorus fish hanging
out here? Oh? Is it a scavenger? Or is it a predator?
Gets the predator? Fuck? We're in danger. Great damn. It's
almost like somebody asked the right question, and I'm not going to say who
it was,
