Rova 6th 17 - Is it a Water Wolf? Or is it an Otter?

The group awoke well rested and soon continued their journey north east.

The soon came to a large lake with a heavy wooded island in the middle. They pull out the folding boat that they had been carrying and make their way towards the island, as they got closer a small number of bog striders could be seen coming to the shore watching the group.

Again Vaneer attempts a bit of diplomacy which only resulted in a warning of do not approach or you shall be attacked, the group decided to turn the boat around and leave the island untouched.

Whilst still on the boat the group take advantage of the streams leading away from the lake and plot a course of sorts to the biggest lake in this land, Lake Hook tongue.

As the group are making their way up the streams they suddenly notice some movement under the water surface, then Vaneer spots at least 2 oversized otters with wolf like teeth (Agvizotl) as the Cleric and other gets knocked out of the boat and into the water.

Vaneer swims back to the bank,

Hugo swims towards the bank,

Miro steers the boat towards the right bank,

Otto casts hold monster which captures one of the creatures,

Boss struggles to keep himself afloat in the water,

Bob swims towards the bank,

Natalia starts casting a spell,

The other creature(2) tries to attack Boss but fails,

The creature(1) that was held manages to break the spell,

Vaneer casts a searing light at creature(2) and deals critical damage,

Natalia summons a water elemental,

Otto reholds creature(1),

Vaneer shoots twice at creature(2),

Miro stabs and kills creature(2),

Creature(1) breaks the hold and starts to flee,

Natalia’s water elemental gives chase of creature(1) and finishes the job or so they believe.

The group continue cautiously floating along the stream system till they begin to see a fort in the distance, this they thought must be the city in which Kassandra had described from where she came from.

They decided that it would make sense for Natalia to take flight over the fort and city to scout out what she can see, she soon returns with details of the layout of the city and the patrol routes of the guards.

The group discuss and decide that their best option is for Natalia to fly in whilst the rest under the guise of invisibility would walk along the bank into the port and then from there make they would all make their way to the dance hall as recommended by Kassandra where the group can meet with the local resistance.

With a plan in place the group decide to rest for the night and tackle their infiltration in the morning.
