Myst nodded, knowing deep inside that Ratholin was right. She turned to her things, packed them up, and took a couple of bites from something that supposedly resembled food. After about 2 bites, she wrapped it up and took a long drink, her stomach rejecting the foul-tasting fare so early in the morning. Perhaps later, she thought to herself, I will be able to finish my food.

"Thank you for being rational" Leads zel and myst towards the mountains after about 4 hours of walking through the gentle grass the grass takes on a marshy aspect.

Zel sighs"Another sudden change, and not one for the best. Any dangers here" She was going to hate walking through the slim, her feet would be constantly wet for awhile

"There are waterproof overshoes in the packs. Myst you getting any of those empathic feelings about this new area?" Zel's vampiric sight catches the movement of a snake through the marshy grass.

"Thank you"She crouched down and placed her backpack down on a semi-dry patch of ground. She dug the shoes out and began putting them on. "That's better"Looking around, she jumped up, seeing the snake"I have a question, are any snakes here poisonous?"

Feelings? That was an understatement. "Yes sir, there are very different feelings here, I'm not sure how to describe them. They aren't evil, but they are wild and dangerous. It is sort of like walking into a field of wild carnivores...we need to use caution here."

"hmm good question. It's highly possible that someone dreamt poison into a snake. Then again, perhaps they forgot or perhaps it's bite could even be benificial. Best not to chance getting bitten though." Gets overshoes out of his bag and puts them on. "well lets get sloshing"

Myst wasn't entirely thrilled with sloshing, but she put on her boots and followed along. She wondered if Ratholin had heard her...having responded to Zel and not to her. It seemed as if different dimensions floated in this swamp, like bits of cloud, and if you walked through one, someone standing right beside you might not hear or acknowledge you. Myst made a mental note to watch for that, because that could present danger as well.

a few steps into the marshy area it becomes a true swamp with cat tails, bright blue mosquitos and a muggy heat hanging over everything. Cypress trees seem to come into focus their snorklish roots poking out of the water

Serpents start crawling down from the trees. Their bodies start wrapping around each other and amalgomating into human three forms. "What isss the meaning of thisss intrusssion?" hissed the lead snake creature.

The sun was up. Or was it just bright? Either way, it hurt his eyes. Time in this place was odd. It seemed to shift without any real passage. Something always seemed waiting just beyond his vision, like a monster lurking in the dark. But it had been a long time since he had to fear monsters. He sighed, and continued on his long trek.
His staff helped him walk. His feet were tired, but that was something he was used to. He moved slowly though the swampy marsh, his steps almost a shuffle. He stopped to cough, loudly and painfully. He spat out a large glop of phlegm, and tried to clear his throat only to have more mucus replace that which he had removed. The light seemed to dance though the opening in the tree, and he pulled his green cloak further over his face giving him shade and the security of the dark.
The snakes were moving, but they paid him no mind. He had been lost here for a very long time. He didn't know how long. Time moved strangely in this strange place.

"Please King, we would just like to pass for we need to reach our destination which is still unknown" Zel spoke respectfully for she knew this wasn't her land or home

The lead being who was made of serpents turns scores of eyes to look at zel. "We are no king. We are the handssss of the Eidolon Murk, lord of marshesss, bogssss, venomsss, poisonsss, and dissseasesss. Though your courtesesiesss impresss usss little ice viper."
The three manikins made of snakes flowed together to make one giant made of snakes. "We will let you passss if one of you staysss behind to serve the Eidolon'sss wishessss."
The swamp water beside the snake voltron thingy belched forth a bubble that pushed something pale and human and dead from a thousand snakebites to the surface of the swamp. The bubble burst with a smell of methane and the corpse sank back down into the swamp.

Zel bowed in thanks and listened to the rest, thinking of what the wishes may be. "May I ask what's Eidolon's wishes?" She turned towards Ratholin after seeing the corpse "Should I stay behind while you and Myst go ahead?" Standing there with curiousity she awaited the responses
