Into the Swamps

Min Woo didn't realize that trudging thru the swamp would be so uncomforable. It wasn't that the swamp itself smelled of something rotting or that the water constantly went inside his new boots or that moss that kept sticking into his new studded leather armor. The young half-elf was uncomfortable coz he couldn't figure out his companions.

Randal was ok by the time they left the village but as they walked along the fisherman's trail he kept becoming silent - as if he was withdrawing from the world and into himself. He kept avoiding us when we asked him about it, but his face clearly showed he was troubled or even haunted. Min Woo couldn't figure out if Randal was seeing something we couldn't see or something in his mind or his past.

The dwarf who calls himself Koru is likewise hard to figure out. He kept darting in and out of the swamp as if expecting something to jump out at us. He would leave us one sec and then be back to report that he didn't find anything. Min Woo just hopes they better get to the warden's shack soon and that the paranoia isn't contagious.
