*For now... Nothing would've changed. The swamp remained completely still.*
*If the Ogre was indeed in the area - and all the hints pointed toward that idea - the party should've questioned their methods. If the creature would've already spotted them, did they really expect it to rush into the trap? Or, what would've happened if the creature was sleeping in the pond? Would have them waited for hours for it to finish its nap, risking to be attacked by other swamp creatures before the Ogre would've actually woken up?*
*Even worse, what if the Ogre would've discreetly left the area while they'd have waited besides the trap?*
*In any case, while their plan seemed to be prepared well and their roles were assigned, the party should've probably opted for a B plan right now. A keen eye would've been able to notice that the small, middle islet drifted a bit away in the muddy water...*

*Ardon would very simply look towards the swamp and just stare at it while readying his 6 arms to attack. He was quite curious about where the actual swamp man was but if he went in the swamp since its terrisomething something smart words wouldn't it go after him? He was very tempted to just rush in the body of water but he felt like it was also a dumb idea so for now he just readied himself, his weapons and his mind while staring at the pond very sure that something was gonna come out of there and try to attack them*

*Gabon would stand up from his bush slightly sore from the hours of sitting and pick up a stone throwing it into the lake watching the middle island for any movement. He would then tear a small bolt of cloth and rummage around on his backpack looking for his flask of oil. After inserting the cloth into the speak to Ardon in a conspiratorial whisper.* "Hey Ardon, you think you could try throwing this flask at the big old middle island? I've not the arm strength for it and I trust ye more then myself." *If Ardon accepted, Gabon would smile wickedly and light the cloth on fire using his small fire and pass it to Ardon to throw.*
Zelma
*Nesy would then see that there was this "Island" In the middle of the entire thing. What was so important about it? Nesy would be icreadibly confused to what was going on. He decided to scout the lake but there was seemingly nothing there! A sense of some strange feelings began to enter his own conciousness.* "I don't feel this is the right place to be guys. We need to somehow advance. Maybe we could try get to the islands." *He pointed towards the strange things poping ut of there.* "....But, where is it?"
Paul
``...Oh i see what has happened,i don't think putting fire to it would really be usefull since it would regenerate the burns faster than you can make them,but i got an idea wich could work better for a first attack, take this ardon,go near the shore and throw it at that small island, don't go in the watter trying to punch it, let it come here and try to force it to get close enought so whe can hit it whit the trap, still try not to get any wound at the start of the fight``
*Tavish would quickly swap his sword to his other hand to make a spearshot appear, he would then shoot it at the ground next to ardon's left then put back his sword into his free hand,now the only thing ardon had to do and throw it at the "Little island" To get it's attention*
```tavish used spearshot!
Tavish's mana: 85/100```
Therese
*It seemed like Tavish knew what was going on. This was emphasized even further as the islet seemed to have drifted even further away than before. Was that islet really an environmental hazard? It was hard to tell, but it surely had an unnatural move to it.*
*There was no current inside the pond, so how would've a whole islet moved on its own?*
Beth
*Ardon would do as he was told and quickly pick up the spear and take a few steps back before getting a few more quick steps forward throwing the spear directly towards the small middle island in the pond. He tried to take advantage and put some uhh momentum? Veloptuocity? Power yeah power into his throw with the steps, he wasn't exactly the master of spears but he has used a number of them in his life. He really just wanted to follow his instincts and run into the water and start wailing on the islands but he didn't want to make his team mates angry and disappointed at him*
Zelma
"I suspect this is the ogre boss. It's probably hiding underneath the DAMN lake! Wow that thing is pretty smart or able to breath. I suspect this thing is intelligent somewhat." *Nesy pondered over this strange lake, his eyes would be focused towards the moving thing and he'd notice it was either the ogre or something else. His mind was shifting between two options at the same time and he just couldn't decide. He decided to not fire but he kept his guard.* "And just make sure you tell me when to charge in."
Heather
*Gabon would watch the three posturing and sigh, stamping out the lit cloth he would move back to his small fire and start toasting some bread. Pulling out a block of butter he would sit down resting his pollaxe against a tree though he would keep his dagger on him.* "Call me when that middle island there starts charging us for now, anyone want a slice of toast?" *Smelling the bread he would reflect that he should learn how to make his own sometime.*
