"If leave now, can reach castle before nightfall," Snapjaw answers.
Eliana looks over the canoes. There are currently six docked now, and each canoe can hold up to three people. To her question, Snapjaw seems confused. "Making...something?"

Henry - HP: 44\44 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: None
---------------
Henry just proceeds to scuttle three of the six canoes, so that no one could use them to follow the party or beat them to the castle. That done, he shrugs to the others and says "Two on each canoe, so we have even some leg room." then tries to help Snapjaw understand "See this?" he knocks a couple times on his own armour "Does the elf shape metal like this?" then pats on his own sword "Or like this?"

"You said that the elf shapes metal," Eliana says. "So, it kind of sounds like the elf is a blacksmith that makes armor and weapons, like Henry here is asking. Henry, I suggest you ride with Snapjaw and Chantilly. I'll ride with Zakkoth."

Snapjaw says, "Elf ty to teach Jarak-sinn to craft metal, but not weapon or armor. Too advanced. Still learning. But maybe someday Jarak-sinn able to forge own weapons and armor from metal."

(OOC: Anyone here have proficiency with water vehicles?)

"So, it kind of sounds like the elf is a blacksmith that makes armor and weapons, like Henry here is asking. Henry, I suggest you ride with Snapjaw and Chantilly. I'll ride with Zakkoth." "I will ride with Snapjaw, sure, but I believe it would be better for Chantilly to stay with Jamna. We don't want to go alone on one of these boats, who knows what kind of dangers we might find in these swamp?" Henry shrugs and flashes a friendly smile while voicing his concerns - and sure, he is certainly concerned something might happen to one of them during the travel towards the castle, but it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on the recently joined spy. {Spoiler}No proficiency, unfortunately.

We're going on a boat trip!" - Chantilly says excitedly, before jumping in one of the canoes. - " Have you ever been on one? I mean... You have to, since you came from Sancrist, right?" OOC Nope on the water vehicles proficiency

"That was a ship," Jamna says as she unsteadily sits down in one of the rowboats. "I didn't row here from Sancrist." She picks up one of the oars awkwardly. "Oh, well, how hard can it be?"
Zakkoth climbs into another boat with Eliana, and Snapjaw and Henry take a third one. "Snapjaw lead the way. Stay close behind," the Jarak-sinn says as he picks up an oar.

Henry sits in one of the boats as well and starts rowing, following Snapjaw's lead "Why the Cult has to build its strongholds in such places? I mean, a nice mansion in Palanthas, maybe close to a decent tavern...that would be a place I would happily raid." the squire jokes in an attempt to keep spirits high (or, at least, his own spirit).

Eliana looks between Zakkoth and herself, and decides to try to row the boat herself. It couldn't be that hard, right?

"It would be nice, but I doubt the cultists are lugging all that treasure clear across all of Solamnia," Jamna points out. "Even if they had the means, that's too much ground to cover. Too many chances for something to go wrong. I'm guessing they're moving it somewhere nearby."
Each boat has three oars to it, so there are plenty for everyone. Once everyone has an oar--more of a paddle, really--in hand, Snapjaw starts them off. He places the paddle in one side of the muck, pushes, then switches over and does it from the other side. Then he keeps repeating this. The boat begins to move forward, deeper into the mire.

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 43/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No " Well, that would have made for a much more heroic story though!" - Chantilly says, as she picks one of the others oars and starts to mimic Snapjaw's movements. " Hey, Snapjaw!" - she calls out the lizardfolk. - " Tell us something interesting about this swamp! Have you lived here all of your life?"

Eliana watches how Snapjaw paddles, and tries to copy is movements. "It might be a good idea to not talk too loudly," she points out.

"Also, what kind of dangers lurk here." Henry says after Chantilly while mirroring the movements of the Jarak-sinn.

"Snapjaw always live here. Was hatched here," Snapjaw answers. "Many dangers in mere. Crocodiles that sneak up on. Giant Frogs that prefer little people to eat," he says, glancing toward Chantilly and Jamna. "Giant lizards and giant spiders. Also, the weed that walks. And glowy death lights. Snake people. Probably other things. Most attracted by noise. Best to be quiet."
