**The Western Fens weren't entirely bad, all things considered. They were murky, mucky, filled to the brim with all manner of biting and clawing creatures, oppressively hot and were now home to a particularly rapacious Bog Hydra. But they did have wild cranberries. So, if you like cranberries, the Fens might still have something for you.**
**Antoninus followed, his footsteps anything but silent.**
Antoninus - "I can't imagine it's hard to find."

Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
Soon Heulen walked up beside the two other men. He smelled around for anything that had a scent of blood. He also looked around trying to discern the area of the swamp with the most vegetation.
Heulen - Which way do you two think our reptilian friend would head to find a section of this swamp it would prefer to live?
**The scent of blood was definitely in the air, but Huelen found it almost entirely overwhelmed by an oppressive stench of rot: rotting plants, rotting flesh, just rot all around.
The vegetation grew thicker deeper into the fen, where the slumping trees began to blot out the sun and a thick fog blanketed everything. But to move deeper, they would have to actually ford into the murky water itself. It wasn't particularly deep, seemingly waist high at its deepest, but it was quite thick with muck and vegetation.**
Antoninus - "...I don't know about y'all, but I sure as hell don't trust that water."

Snake waded in. "Well I guess stealth is out... Fighting in waist deep water is less than ideal." He grimaced at murkiness. : Hopefully the leeches go after the warm bloods.:
**The water was mucky, disgusting and probably full of leeches. But never the less they were able to wade through it without much trouble as them moved deeper and deeper into the bog.**
Snake, who saw him struggling with the leeches spoke up. "You might as well wait until we leave the water to remove the leeches. The smell of blood in the water will only bring more." He did smile to himself when he realized his surmises to be correct however.
**Antoninus was last in line, trailing a string of obscenities with every step.**

**As they moved deeper and deeper into the bog, Heulen found the smell of rot to become more and more oppressive. Now, it was clear that this was not just the normal scent of nature recycling itself that should be present in any proper fen. This was the smell of corpses left to rot.**
**Antoninus was preoccupied pulling leeches off himself whenever he saw them.**

Seeing that there was no land around for them to continue forward, outside of that flooded by the bog, Heulen continued forward. He kept his ears focused forward for any sounds of movement ahead of him.
**Snake might have had cause to regret his words, because at that moment they all became aware of a massive presence near them, quietly working its way around the bottom of the bog.**

Heulen looked for anything resembling drier, more solid land for them to stand on.
Come on and check it out. You know you want to.
