The watches are set, and everyone tries to get some rest. This is difficult as the sun is still out, but they all do their best. After eight hours, the sun goes down and everyone is now refreshed and ready to travel again.
============
(OOC: It is now 8 PM. Casters can pick new spells.)

"I'm not sure if it is a good idea to travel at night or not," Ladonna admits. "They do have to rest of the night though, right?"

"I suppose the alternative is to wait until morning, but they already have a big headstart on us," Liala mentions.
"If they stopped to rest, too, we'll find evidence of that, right?" Finbul asks. "They'd have to pull ashore and make camp, too."

"Am I the only one that can't see in the dark?" Ladonna asks. "If they have stopped and camped for the night, they would see torch light coming their way because I doubt they wouldn't have a watch. So if someone wants to babysit me, I say we continue on through the night, and hope that we run into them."

Finbul holds up a hand. "I can't see in the dark, either. But I can conjure up some faerie fire in a pinch, if needed."

"How long does that last?" Ladonna asks Finbul about his spell.

"Around four or five minutes," Finbul answers.

"All right, I suggest that we do the same as yesterday then," Ladonna says. "Sidhanar can scout ahead. The only difference this time around is that someone is going to have to stick close to me and Finbul so that we don't get lost in the dark."

"Don't worry, there's still the star and moonslight," Finbul says. "So it's not as if we'll be walking completely blind."
"Yes...the moons," Sidhanar says, glancing skyward nervously. Ruse was dangerously close to becoming full.

Ladonna glances up to the moons for a moment, taking into consideration Sidhanar. "We need to get moving. The sooner we find them, the better off we'll be."

The party travels another couple of hours to the west, finding nothing of interest and no clues that they are getting closer. However, they come across a large pool of mud that seems to have formed at the banks of the river. Walking around it is a simple enough task, but Ladonna spots something glinting in the moonslight in the middle of the pool. It looks like a gemstone of some kind.
=============
It is now 10 PM.

"Hey, wait a minute," Ladonna says to the others. She slowly makes her way to the pool so that she can grab the gemstone.

While the others move around the move around the mud pool, Ladonna tromps right into it. Her black leather boots are quickly coated with the stuff, and she has to struggle with each step to pull out once she's stepped in. At one point, one of her boots almost comes off her foot from the effort. But she reaches the center of the mud pool, bends down, and extracts the shiny, blue gemstone. As soon as she does, a large, muddy hand emerges from the pool and grabs at her ankle. She's able to pull it away, but a figure--a man made of mud--emerges from the pool, as does three more, surrounding her. ========================= (OOC: Ladonna acquires a blue gemstone. Initiative and actions for Round 1?)

"What the...!!!" Ladonna exclaims in surprise. She was thinking that the gem was a clue. Maybe Helen had managed to leave it behind (though why she would have a gem on her she didn't have the answer to). She tries to back up to get away from the mud people, but she has a hard time moving, so she does the only thing she knows how to do, which is to cast a spell (burning hands).

"Mudmen!" Sidhanar cries out. "Nobody enter the mud. Ser Marche, hurry, you must step out of it!" he warns. Just then, one of the mudmen hurls a glob of its own mud at Ladonna, but she ducks in time to avoid it. Zesk starts chanting a simple spell, and unleashes a pair of white missiles of energy into the air, which strike one of the mudmen. Ladonna moves south and blasts two more with fire. One disintegrates back into mud, rejoining the pool, but the other survives the attack. But not for long. Sidhanar runs up and cuts it down with his axe. Unakite flings daggers at another mudman, and Finbul slings stones at it. Liala hurls darts at another. Things seem to be going well, but then two of the mudmen fling more mud at Ladonna. One hits her in the leg, and the other one smacks her right in the chest. The mud almost instantly hardens and starts constricting Ladonna's movement. ============= InitiativeLadonna: 9+1 = 10 Liala: 9+2 = 11 AcTQoD3U1d10Finbul: 9+7 = 16 1d10Sidhanar: 4+6 = 10 1d10Zesk: 5+1 = 6 1d10Unakite: 8+2 = 10 1d10Mudman 01: 9+3 = 12 1d10Mudman 02: 3+3 = 6 1d10Mudman 03: 9+3 = 12 1d10Mudman 04: 9+3 = 12 1d10Round 1!Mudman 02 throws mud at Ladonna [TH 9] (1d20): 2, miss. 1d20Zesk casts Magic Missile at Mudman 01, dealing (2d4+2): 1,2+2 = 5 bludgeoning damage.
