"Be rready, frriends," he urges.

Seeing the fog, Cyrion touches the rough cut crystal he wears on a leather cord

"Swamp Maw, there will be consequences," Mundhildur answers. She shifts to near the center of the raft, and grows to large size, taking care to maintain balance. "You will suffer defeat, for we have fought and bested greater than you. Back off, let us pass through, and perhaps you may see another day, and those with you can also live."
She ties one end of a rope onto something solid on the raft, something safe, able to hold a good amount of weight. The other end she loops around her waist.
She pulls out of her bag two throwing rocks, and has one in each hand.
The Jotunar is ready to levitate, and gives Irony warning. "Before I levitate, I will give you a very short warning - a fast count of one-two-three. In that time, you should try to get near the center of the raft."

Asimov orders Irony to land if it can.
He calls out to the others, "I have the ability to give us all the ability to breathe water if we need it."

The Twins draw their weapons and tell Xurgaf and Son they'll be protected
Zeoll starts singing a song to inspire courage
Cyrion touches a crystal and empowers some abilities
Mudhi answers a challenge of her own to the message carried on the wind
She prepares to levitate, tying a rope to part of the gondola and warns Cyrion to get to the center of the raft
Asimov offers that he has the ability to give everyone water breathing if they need it and tries to get Irony to land on board
All the boats are obscured by the fog cloud and none of the occupants can see beyond 5 feet
Zeoll and Femmu's boat slowly bump up against something solid blocking the way and Xurgaf, Son and Twins bump up against Zeoll and Femmu's boat.
Though Mundi's and Asimov's boats are in the fog cloud they were behind the other 2 boats going into the fog and since the fog cloud slowed the boats down they aren't yet where Zeoll and Femmu's boats are
What do you do now?

"Yes, Asimov, that ability would be most convenient under the circumstances!" says Mundhi.

"Can someone blow away this fog?" the Twins request.

Cyrion remarks, "I don't breathe, so I'm ok." He does however concentrate for a moment, and run his sword through his hand, making the edge glitter in the darkness
[for 2 hours, his sword's crit range is now 17+ x2]

Zeoll maintains his song and also casts Glibness on himself.
He shouts, "Swamp-Maw, do you rrememberr when that gatorr took a chunk out of yourr hide nearr yourr eye? And you beat that gatorr by impaling it on a trree brranch?"
"And do you rrememberr when you left the swamp and went to the city and learrned strrategy and magic and skills? You learrned that life could be much betterr if you and yourr frriends banded togetherr?"
"And do you rrememberr when yourr own son told you that banding togetherr was good, and even betterr would be to choose to be adventurrerrs, not bandits, helping people instead of hurrting them?"
The liontaur adds details based on his Legend Lore.
"Swamp-Maw, I spoke to the spirrit of Harrd-Scale. I learrned all these things and morre! I am herre to tell you that yourr son was rright! He forrgives you! He wants you to be trrue to his vision! He wants you to turrn away frrom rrobberry and killing innocent crreaturres!"
"I worrship and serrve Queen Maab, who loves all naturral creatures! She loves these gatorrs! She loves you and yourr people!"
"I am herre to tell you, Swamp-Maw, that it is not too late! You can talk with us! You can find a betterr way to prrosperr and live!"

Rather focusing now more on what might soon be happening - and positioning herself closer to the center of the raft, Mundhildur almost gives up on poling (survival: 12), making very slow progress indeed through the fog.
She much admires Zeoll's persuasiveness.

Mundhi agrees on the water breathing
The Twins ask for someone to blow the fog away
Cyrion makes his sword glow
Zeoll makes an appeal to Swamp Maw using the information gleaned from the Legend Lore and combined with his glibness claims he spoke with Hardscale's spirit and that Swamp Maw is forgiven and it isn't too late to choose another way besides banditry
Mundhi focuses on poling much admiring Zeoll's persuasiveness
Asimov has irony assume an armor form around him
Sometimes miracles can happen and this time is one of them. The fog clears and you can see that the boats were up against an ice wall.
In the sky a giant gator says, "This is only an illusion. I Swamp Maw have been moved by your words and wish to parlay. I have removed the fog and have stopped what I was up to with the wall of ice and cloud kill. Where shall we meet to have this talk you suggested?"

"The place Hard-Scale fell?" The twins suggest. It seems fitting for the conversation, and further bolsters their claim since they know the spot.

"Yes, that is perrfect, my identical frriends!"
Zeoll calls out his thanks and shouts the location, noting its significance.

Cyrion again shakes his head at the oddness he keeps encountering ... he does try to keep their boat afloat, and has stopped singing

The giant floating Illusionary Gator says, "I will wait for you there." before disappearing
Xurgaf says, "Well it will probably make things take maybe an extra day to day and a half but one way or another you folks are good for our wages so let's go"
The party finds itself moving in the opposite direction charted on a course past the island you rested on
towards the prophetic sandbar you dined on.
What do you do now?

Survival 16
Know Nature 23
Oh, and he casts Speak to Animals to tell the friendly gators what to do -- follow and protect, as we go to the sandbar.
And since the Glibness is still going, he tells the Lady Femmu and the gators that they are the most beautiful and lovely examples of their kinds he has ever seen! As stunning as Queen Maab herself!

Cyrion is looking forward to the meeting
Asimov poles back with the others
When the party reaches the sandbar they find a secure shelter has been cast upon it. A tall man wearing a fine cloak and ivory half mask stands outside.
He says, "Welcome to the sandbar. I took the liberty of preparing a place for our parlay as well as refreshment. There is charcuterie and fresh water. Please help yourself and we can have our conversation after."
