RESULT

The party's search and tracking work takes time; the sun is near setting by the time the group sights the smoke plume and THE MOUND.

I am assuming slow, cautious movement and at least some effort at using cover and concealment, given the warning Meela gave.
If anyone prefers boldly striding ahead, let me know.

A skilled woodsman could find some concealment on the way: tree stumps, brush, fallen logs, clumps of reeds.
Maybe we should check around and see what the far side is like, just so we know all of our options.

As I recall, the last time Klokulf tried sneaking around, a bunch of gnolls took notice, so the concealment on the way to the Mound may be of little help to him.

If Klokulf had a good idea of what one of these lizardfolk looked like, he could possibly approach the Mound openly---he has disguise self as a domain spell. That probably would go poorly too.

Yeah, Klokulf had better luck using an eye in the sky spell than he had sneaking about.

Does Kat think it looks a plausible sneaking job? or is there just no cover for that last bit? If she thinks it looks plausible she will go for it!

Kat could pull it off but the less stealthy members of the party would probably give themselves away.

NUMBERS, ESTIMATED


Based on what Meela knows about the manlizards, on the size of the Mound, and Katrin's report:

One might guess between twenty-five and fifty. These cold-blooded critters like to live closely packed together in a cold swamp like this region.
