Loveria
The four protagonists find themselves in Korint, capital of Loveria, where they come across a job opportunity. At this point they don't know each other but when they hear about an organization that offers triple normal pay for work somewhere out in the countryside they all decide to join up. It turns out their mystery employer is House Ditta and the job site is in the Amorgus Swamp, quite a distance away.
They, and a number of other new employees are all put onto a caravan with supplies to their destination in the east. The first part of the journey to Pefki is quite safe but for the second part everyone is warned for nomadic ‘bandit’ tribes and other possible dangers. After twenty, luckily uneventful, days they arrive at their new home; The Dig.
After things have gone horribly wrong the party and "Red" flee till night falls and they have to make camp in the swamp. They are still alive and haven't met any rodents of unusual size, so far, so they are counting their blessings. The entire sky has strange green sheen tonight, not something any of them have ever seen before.
The next morning they bury the arm Liddy was carrying around and then it's time for the trek back to civilization, unfortunately no one present has any particular wilderness skills. Hanur volunteers to navigate their way west and does an admirable job. Regius' attempts at foraging for food and water are less stellar. Then things get a little hairy when Hanur and Regius walk right into quicksand but fortunately the others manage to pull them out.
The next day the foraging is much improved and in the afternoon they are quite surprised when a quite large boar (but not unusually large!), with a broken spear sticking from its back, comes charging out of the underbrush and hits Regius, almost bowling the poor cleric over. The fight is intense and some healing spells from both Liddy and Regius means that the boar is dead before it can kill anyone.
