Journey North to the Great Swamp

Aulemon 17th
 
Stay in Boggs landing to watch a fellow dwarf hang for crimes, embarrassment to great race of dwarves. I sent along message to his kin folk of his demise.
Group rested and learned some spells. Uvarum and myself chatted around for anyone with good knowledge of lands leading to swamp. Not much other than no one goes there. Go to sleep grumpy.

rent a boat to take us north a days sailing. tried to rob us with stated price but came down half, 5gp, which still too much but group wanted to get going.
Landed on shore and spent a quiet evening in small overhang.

marching along shore just next to scrub, when spotted a goblin bunch heading south toward us. I was able to get my bumblers to move back a bit and get in place for ambush. We sure got them good. Uvarum dropped a nice entangly spell behind the stinkers to make hard for them to escape. Kursk gets a bloody shower as usual in chopping down the goblins. A couple tried to get away but Putz and Imlazor shot down one on left side of battle, while Uvarum and Bawdy chase down and capture a goblin on right side. We ask them questions, they from Snogg village and looking to capture humans but not much more of worth from the stinkers mouth. So we render justice for being a stinker and killed the goblin. By days end, march is getting muddy and wet on the feeble path trying to follow.

Slogging thru near swamp now. Uvarum and I make up some forest remedies to keep off the biting bugs as best we can. Lost trail once and had to back track a bit with help of slobber wolf , NozDrull, to find it. Right before stopping for camp, we see a hut of a house in a pool of water with a small bridge to it. See a few feral cats wandering around in odd sort of fashion. Given all the warnings from the town, is this a friend or a foe. Group decides to take the bold (and future suicidal) approach to walk up and knock, even as Imlazor detects some magic on the bridge. As doing so, an old woman opens up a window and says her name is Evanora and for us to come in and don't disturb her magic spell on the bridge. I has a bad feeling about this but in we go.
