Feroda campaign: events so far

Session Sunday 28th June: entering the swamp

Having reached the far shore, we discussed routes. We head "towards the rising sun", which takes us across a large round island. After some discussion, we paddle the boats around the island, while some of the party walk alongside on the shore. We can work out our bearings as given by the ancient diary: the mountain is visible and we can work out where Pavis is: we need to go east for some time. The Bison Rider and Varjeela walk, Varjeela trying out her sling on the bird life as she goes.

GM-provided travelogue: The entire delta region is essentially flat. There are occasionally some outcroppings here and there of rock - sort of like small plateaus. The ground is at best damp and ususally tending to soggy. Two metre tall swamp grass covers most of the islands. Occasionally, usually in the centre of the islands, there are small copses of willow and other such wetland trees. You will all note the presence of a great many birds and a cacaphony of sounds produced by them.

The session ends at mid-day with the establishment of a temporary camp on the further side of the island. We stop for lunch while figuring how to ferry people to the next island.
