Across the water the screams and shouts turn to cheers as your group deals with the attacking creatures, a particularly loud cheer echoing out as one of them is flattened against the boat.<br/><br/>With all the shuffling about the boat rocks and rolls but doesn't quite tip enough to let water in even if as Muineth finds it's enough to throw ones aim off. Although Tinalia manages a lucky shot and causes the remaining Grindylow to shriek again as electricity arks around him leaving him burned and shaking.<br/><br/>Yuckmuck bares his fangs at the four in the boat, spear shaking and waving. "Not nice! Not nice!" His tentacles let go of the boat and he falls overboard with barely a splash, a ripple in the water shooting away from the boat as his blue form quickly vanishes in the murky water.<br/><br/><br/>With no more threats showing up it doesn't take the group long to finish rowing across the bay and approach the solitary dock that extends from the beach into the bay. The dock's construction looks solid and fairly recent, suitable for tying off a small boat although no watercraft are in sight. The beach Inclines to the east before giving way to grass and trees, a well-worn path in the grass rising up the slope towards a cluster of buildings.<br/><br/>The buildings are arranged in a rough triangle, with each point ending in a wooden circular enclosure with rectangular notches cut intermittently, like battlements. These round enclosures are clearly meant to be three points of a wooden palisade fence, which would enclose this first group of buildings once completed. The fence however is complete only along the southeastern side of the triangle and the unfinished nature of the rest is quite obvious. The grass around the settlement looks like it was cropped at one point, with many paths existing between location within the settlement but in less well-trafficked spots the grass has started to regrow. Near the southeastern corner of the palisade is set of large tents, most of them appearing from a distance to have collapsed.<br/><br/>All the buildings are built of either rough timber or mud bricks set in a wooden frame with pitched thatched roofs. Many have open window frames, but only a few have actual shutters or even a canvas curtain for privacy. Doors are basic wooden affairs, too simple for locks and some of the buildings lack them entirely. The new, unfinished nature of the construction is obvious even to the most unobservent eyes.<br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> OCC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Battle ends with one knockout and one escape.<br/>100xp each.<br/>1 spear (Standard stats even if rough made) is looted.<br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Map of Talmandor's Bounty (big pic)</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.imgur.com/KLpX2nX.jpg)</div></div>
