Searching for Shipwrecks [IC]

[Paro]

Day 9 Morning, In Brinestump Marsh

---

With a through examination of the ground and the wreck, Azgar found no new tracks except for those he and his companions just made. Even the prints left by skeletons were only those just made. There was no evidence the skeletons were active anytime recent before then.

Barlo gestured to the south, "The higher ground of the cliffs is only about a quarter to a half of a mile away. That is not too far. We can see them clearly today."

"All those years ago, I suppose when it was storming out, they might not have seen them at that time. But mayhap the Captain at least knew the swamp was on the edge of the mainland and to the north was the storming seas that pushed him aground."

"Shall we still check this island before trying the cliffs and that cave marked?"

Casimir nods to himself as Barlo and Arradon consider the option of the cave, then re-checks his map. "This island does not appear terribly large, so we should hopefully not have to spend a huge amount of time searching for clues... but then we would need to cross another waterway to reach the cliffs and the cave. That takes us further away from our wagon and oxen... I am just checking to see whether there is a way round over land?"

He checks the map to make sure there is no road that would enable them to reach the vicinity of the cave by retracing their steps with the wagon. From memory, he doesn't think there is such an option, but he wants to be completely sure before leaving their wagon and supplies even further behind. Once he has satisfied himself, he falls in behind the rest of the party as they set off to explore the possible escape route from the wreck towards the cliffs.

"We might as well, it's on the way to the cave and cliffs." He gazed towards the southern part of the island. He could just make out the cliffs through gaps in the dense tree cover. He wasn't looking forward to more trudging through the swamp, but since they'd so far found nothing it seemed to be their best option.

Day 9 Noon, In Brinestump Marsh

---

Taking the time to cover the marsh island was slow going. After a few hours it was getting close to lunchtime and the group had learned that the map was at least accurate enough to indeed prove they were on an island in the swamp. There was a place on the southwest corner of the island where fording across would be easier for the oxen. They could likely walk through 3-4 foot water and not need to swim. Once across the land terrain rose pretty sharply to be closer to cliff face towards the top, roughly where the cave was supposed to be.

There were no signs of trails or roads on the island.

The group returned to the place where the oxen and small boat where left to decide what to do next. The denizens of the swamp declined to object to the interlopers presence.

Arradon asks Casimir to see the map and checks it again. "It looks like it might be easier going for the oxen near the cliffs. We might avoid another boat ride. I say we ford them across with us."

Casimir considers their options, as laid out by Barlo, Arradon and Azgar. As is in his nature, he attempts to find common ground between the different proposals. "We could bring the oxen and the boat with us to the southern edge of this island, but then leave them on this side of the ford while one or more of us cross to investigate. That way, we retain maximum flexibility and some reassurance that we won't leave these valuable beasts unprotected."

Day 9 mid-afternoon, In Brinestump Marsh

---

Barlo shrugged, "If we are going to return to the location above the cliffs with the wagons, we would likely need to still come back here and cross the water to return to the witch's shack where the wagons are. If we need to load anything into the wagons we are not going to be able to bring them near the cave from underneath. Might as well investigate first before moving anything. Looks like you are out voted, Casimir."

When they had looked at the cliffs themselves from across the water, the marsh was rather gradual until it reached the base of the cliff. So, exploring up to the base of the cliff would not be a problem without climbing gear.

Crossing the ford was wet, but they did not attract any large leeches that needed to be fought off with weapons. They have a couple of really small ones that tried to latch on but were easily flicked off with a knife point before they could really start leeching.

With the map as a guide, it only took about an hour to find what they were looking for. A fifty-foot-high cliff rose along the marsh’s southern border, its face a thick tangle of jutting rocks and bright green vines and nettles. A curtain of these thick nettle vines partially concealed the cave opening at the base of the cliff roughly where the witch's map had it depicted. It was not going to take climbing gear to reach the entrance at all.

Casimir gingerly crosses the ford alongside the others, trying to not draw attention to himself by making undue splashing movements. He is relieved when nothing more sinister than a few leeches are to be found. As they laboriously make their way through the marshy vegetation towards the cliff, he keeps a lookout for any evidence that anyone - or anything - has recently come this way.

When they eventually reach the base of the cliff, he casts a skeptical look over the nettles. "I'm no expert, but those look like they might hurt if you fell into them. Do these look familiar to any of you?" He looks for ways that they might reach the cave opening while avoiding the vegetation, just in case.

Arradon carefully followed along as they forded the swamp. Luckily his tight-fitting leathers mostly kept the leeches at bay, though he still wound up with his boots more than a little soaked.

Nearing the cave entrance he stops with the group and carefully surveys the entrance. While not well-trained in plant lore, he had grown up in the Harran. He carefully inspects the nettles to see if they are familiar to him.
