"Thats a new one. I've heard stories of people going up there for all sorts of things: money, power, women, knowledge, rare alchemical ingredients, but fun is a new one. What do you think will be fun about this adventure, I might have something to look foward too now besides finding a chest full of gold  and subsequently being trampled by a very angry deer. " I just hope you know adventuring isn't all about fishing and campfires

Vulpa's hand moved to the hilt of her cutlass.

'Only if you enjoy pain. If that is the case, do feel free to keep talking however.'

She walks swiftly to the front of the group, away from Bekter.

Bekter laughs quietly to himself and keeps walking.

" Touchy touchy. "

Zebul took a hard swallow.
"H-hey, lets save the killing for the beasties that DON'T walk on two legs. And don't get too far a head. You never know when something could be lurking round the corner!"
He thought the Panther might be a bit thick of skull, but the fox seems to be the sort to draw a sword at a few rude words and a huff. It was beginning to look like he'd have to keep an eye on both of them.

(Observation roll: 4)

"Now Bekter tries his smoothest moves on the good old captain, though she don't seem impressed. They head along the narrow paths of the swamp, the ground squelching with every step. They hear laughter, though it ain't that of no man. They see shapes in the murky water with long limbs and bloated bodies. They'll probably have company soon, and not of the friendly sort. They reach an island next to the ruined tower. The swamp pulses around them, like a beast with blood of mud."
The party gathers around the chest. Shapes splash and cackle in the swamps around them. Seems this might have been a building at one time: one of the walls is still standing, faded paint almost invisible beneath damp moss and gently pulsating ferns. This island seems slightly drier than the previous paths, with a plethora of cracked grey stone tiles underfoot. The chest was delicately carved, once, with an elegant tree, but the legs are broken off and it's sunk in the mire. It doesn't seem to have a lock, so you could probably prise it open with little difficulty.

"It seems a little strange that a chest on the way to the closest town in a swamp would be left unspoiled without good reason. I say I should give it good tap make sure it isn't a trap of some sort. What do you guys think?"

He clenched the grip of  his axe for emphasis.

((Also, Gilgamesh, have you considered using image tags or courier instead of your current method? Personally, I'd recommend you use Courier for maps, since it can easily be copy-pasted from a file to the forums (admittedly, formatting is a pain), but that's just me.

I hadn't, no, because I didn't know about them. Only maps are direct links, enemy sprites are images on the forums.

Bekter shrugs and looks around yawning.

" Whatever you like Zebul let's just see what happens.

Look around without moving away, wait for the chest to be opened.

"They gathered round a mossy old chest and gave it a good smack. Slowly, the lid slid back and fell off. Huh. Didn't expect that now. They didn't have time to see inside, 'cause the sound echoed out across the stinkin' swamps, and it came alive with howls and laughter. When the old man walked down to look at flowers, the monsters in the murk saw their chance. The water bubbled and a whole pack of Giggling Toads burst out. The cackling critters had a mouth full of teeth and were looking for lunch - maybe the adventurers would be just the ticket. The party grabbed their weapons and prepared for some frog-stomping."

The waters around you bubble and froth as wretched creatures hop out onto land. As large as a dog, with sharp fangs and a whip-like tongue, the Giggling Toads bark with merriment. You fumble out your weapons and prepare for combat.

Monsters have emerged! Prepare for combat!
