IC

In the years after the oceans drank Atlantis, and long before the brothers Romulus and Remus founded their great city, there was the age of Hyboria. A time lost to history, a time of savage swords and strange sorcery...

Fenn too is weary. "Perhaps these were responsible for the missing villagers."

In spite of everything, Claudius somehow finds the strength to continue.

OOC,What's the amount of SAN loss?
Cotton wrote:Those who search the bodies of the dead find that these men are older and more ragged than those that attacked them before. The corpses' clothes are threadbare and they have no footwear at all. However, every one of the three slain men bear tattoos strongly resembling the talisman that Claudius found earlier.
"More off-sea worshipers of Dagon?" Anakunaisi wonders out loud.

"We need to finish resting, but with as many guards as possible. Lightning does strike twice into the same place."

"Agreed," says Claudius. "My wound is bad, but I'm strong enough to finish my watch."

"And I'm still bleeding. I need some rest," Anakunaisi states the obvious. He plans to retreat to one of the houses and sleep.

Fenn, who is uninjured, reports to Arethus.

Arethus, reasoning that moving through the swamp at night would be even more dangerous than staying put, has all those that are uninjured remain on guard the rest of the night. Those who were injured may either rest or stay on guard. Fortunately, light is not far away and may feel like an eternity squinting into the darkness beyond the village is only a couple short hours. As soon as there is enough light enough to move by, Arethus orders everyone to make ready to march, and the second day of the expedition begins.

Fenn rides beside the oldest Nemedian soldier Paulus, inquiring if he has heard tell of the activities of this Dagon cult in the Border Kingdom.

Claudius rides at the forefront, his bow at the ready. He is glad to have his armor on now, especially with his wound having weakened him.

Anakunaisi

The Turanian rides along in the middle of the squadron. His wounds are quite bad. He will have to rely on his quickness, alertness, and light armor -- and perhaps something else...

He keep an eye on their surroundings.

Paulus says, “News rarely comes out of the Border Kingdom." He scratches at his beard thoughtfully, "When I was a boy I remember my uncle telling me of a time when he and a group of other young men drove out a group of degenerates that worshiped a fish god instead of Mitra and sent them fleeing into the Border Kingdom where they presumably died, he was the town drunk though and since my father never mentioned anything of the sort I didn't really believe him." He wonders aloud, "That boy you interrogated said that his group had also been attacked in the night. Do you think it was those... wretches that attacked us in the village?”

Before Fenn or anyone else can offer an answer the party’s point-men call for a halt. In the early morning light the members of the scouting party can see a wide stream, flowing in roughly the direction they came and coming from near the direction they are headed. And floating in the stream, currently twisted about a rock, the body of the man who was taken while on patrol last night.

"We should examine the body," suggests Claudius, "and then give him a decent burial."

"Could be a diversion for an ambush," Fenn mutters, hanging back and scanning the surroundings warily.

Anakunaisi

"That's right, this reeks of ambush," Anakunaisi agrees with Fenn, and scans the surroundings. He looks for any landscape objects that might hide enemies.

Claudius nods and takes a good look around.

Refusing to allow themselves to be taken off-guard again the party spreads out seeking any cover that may deflect an arrow or thrown spear. Men's eyes dart around the surrounding foliage, weapons loosened in scabbards or already drawn. Several tense moments pass in which the only sound is that of the stream. The scouts are certain that, at least for now, no enemy lies in wait around them.

Anakunaisi (hopefully with the assistance of a few soldiers) tries to fish out the body with a spear.

Meanwhile Fenn rides a little way along the stream, scanning the ground for signs of the perpetrators' tracks.
