You enter the swamp. walking in the water makes you highly uncomfortable. The swamp is calm, you can hear birds singing and sometimes a branch breaking somewhere in the distance. Sometimes you see a small patch of dry land full of edible, not so edible plants and fungi or mushroom, when you tire you sit down on the dry land or on a thick tree and rest for a while, than continue exploring the swamp. The water is full or different creatures, fish, lobsters, snakes small invertebrates. Food shouldn't be a problem however finding fresh water might prove to be impossible. You travel for an hour walking deeper and deeper into the swamp. You think that might be a good time to go back to the camp.

Meanwhile back at the wagon:
Catten chopped one tree, around 30 cm in diameter and 6 meters high. At this speed you will be able to chop enough trees for 3 meters of  2 meter high half meter thick barricade a day, or half meter of 4 meter high 1 meter thick barricade a day.



((OOC: Wandering if by barricade you meant something like this:

or a wall, cause I was thinking of a wall when writing this.))

I meant more like a line of wooden spikes stuck into a wall of dirt for now, but since chopping goes so fast, I say build the 2 meter high barricade around a 4x4 patch of dry land. Camp there, before fully retreating into the swamp, when we will have boats and stuffs..

Samire will try to find a large stick or piece of wood that he can use to measure the swamp's dept before treading any further. If he cannot find one he will return back to camp.

Samire looks for a stick and he finds one floating on the water.

Samire uses the stick as he navigates back to camp to inform the others what he has seen.

Continue chopping trees for barricade.

Between keeping watch and attempting to help assemble the wooden palisade, Duncan didn't have much time to labor on other equally important tasks such as securing fresh water or finding a place to shelter everyone from the darkness.

"We need a shelter..."

Making a tent or something maybe?

Two hours pass by before the explorers come back to the camp. They lost the way a few times. Catten cut down two other threes and Ducan dug 15 holes for the poles. What height will you want the barricade to be?
From now on you have to the decide your work plan every day and you have to give NPCs work orders. Remember to decide as a group, because it might not seem like it, but cooperation and good planning is the key to survival!

I think we should make the barricade,say 1,5 meters high for now.

Samire informs the group of the good news about abundance of food that could be caught but also warns the group of the lack of drinkable water in the swamp lands.

I think we should make the barricade,say 1,5 meters high for now.
"Shall Samire assist or should Samire look for a fresh water source?" He asks.

You know, we can distill the watar from the swamp, so you should probably rest now.
