"Excellent Choice," hisses the mage. Andy the Mage hands you over the vial in exchange for your 200 gold truggets. You very carefully watch the mage put the map back in his cloak. You plan to get both the map, vial, and your gold back. As soon as you have the vial in your grasp you lash out with your staff the top changing into a spear. You impale the Mage through the gullet.
        "Bet you didn't see that coming," you laugh. The mage, still with  a look of shock falls into the fire under the cauldron burning the map with him.
        "Crud," you say gazing at the fire. It looks like you didn't get the map after all. After eating the Mage's soup in the cauldron, you and Griff, head out deeper into the  marsh. Then you realize you're still lost. To bad you don't have the map. Suddenly you here a howl. Your instant reflexes causes you to duck as a dagger flies over your head. The dagger meant for you hit's Griff's jugular and he crumples to the ground instantly. You panic because you know your skills are no match for an enraged acrobat, even if his arm is missing. Reizil turns and charges at you. You stand up to face Reizil. Everything is moving in slow motion. You have to fight him do you
