On a Riverbank - South of the Elhanni River~
The rhythmic sounds of the smoothly flowing Elhanni River to the north

echoes all around you.  The dark brown soil here has formed a steep

riverbank, resembling a five-foot high cliff.  Growing along the soil are

several reeds and even some wildflowers.  You can also detect some

animal tracks leading southward towards a misty area.

The few reeds which grow here are light green and appear faded, reaching

a height of half a foot.  Several white lilies also grow nearby on the

possibly of some sort of giant insects and other wild creatures.  They

Edge of a Mist-filled Marsh~
A thin cloud of mist surrounds this place and appears to thicken if you

head in every direction but north, where you can hear the faint sound of

a swiftly flowing river.  You notice how slick and smooth-looking the

black soil is here.  Shallow water blankets part of the ground here and

create a marsh, while tall plants peek their way up through the water.

~

A Mist-filled Marsh~
The cool, relatively still water isn't very deep here, but many creatures

seem to live within it.  The bubbles which flow to the top and the random

ripple patterns demonstrate that some things are swimming below, even

though it's difficult to see through the water.  Forming circular

patterns, like miniature atolls along the surface of the dark water, are

strangely tall pondweeds.

An eerie stillness pervades the area, with the only noticeable sound

being the very soft babbling of a river somewhere off to the immediate

north.  Surrounding you is a strange, white mist, making it somewhat

difficult to detect everything that may lie around you.  The mist thins

out to the north, but thickens if you head west and south.

On a Riverbank - South of the Elhanni River~
The slick, black soil clings to the few reeds which grow on the riverbank. 

Dispersed along the soil are random silvery specks, which sparkle in the

light.  To the north and west, the cool, rippling sounds of the Elhanni

River offer soothing music to your listening senses.  The south can be

seen less clearly, however, as a strange fog obscures much of your view

of that direction.

A Mist-filled Marsh~
The air is cloaked in a thick white mist that encompasses the area around

you.  The mist seems less dense as you gaze eastward.  Growing through

the dark, cool water are cattails which have reached abnormal heights of

over ten feet and sedges whose leaves cover parts of the marsh like a

spiny blanket.  Most of the plants are grouped closely together and act

like a curtain for whatever lies within them.

You are on a patch of solid black soil that is mostly free of any water. 

The ground remains soggy, though, and you can detect many animal tracks

A Mist-filled Marsh -- Wet Clearing~
The water level is practically nil here, and you can actually see the

black soil, which feels soft and velvety against your feet.  The mist

continues to permeate through this area of the marsh, sometimes causing

you to detect eerie aberrations in the distance.  The mist is too thick

for you to assess whether you can trust what your eyes had seen or not.

mist eerie aberrations~
The thick, fog-like mist deflects, absorbs, and refracts light here,

causing you to see strange things, such as humanoid foxes and ghostly

creatures.  You are unable to determine if what you see is real or due to

the mist's toying with your imagination, since the images fade just as

quickly as they appear.

The surface of the river glistens in the light, as you move along its

crystal clear waters.  In fact, the water is so clear here that you can

see the tan, sandy ground many meters below you.  From the northeast, the

river flows more rapidly, but slows down toward the west.  To the north

and south are steep riverbanks.

You are swimming on the cool, running waters of the Elhanni.  The width

of the river extends a good distance from north to south before reaching

a riverbank on both ends.  The depth of the water is substantial, but a

few rocks have managed to jut up randomly along the river.  The Elhanni

continues to flow swiftly from the east, but more slowly down toward the

A Mist-filled Marsh -- Among Strange-looking Plants~
The water reaches past your knees in this part of the marsh.  Growing in

tight clumps are huge aquatic, strange-looking plants.  Imperfectly

round, hollow tubers are attached to their partially submerged leaves. 

The tubers seem to function as a flotation device for the plants.  Also

extending from the leaves are spikes of splendid yellow flowers, each

about several inches long.

~
maybe make tubers an invis object container with stuff in it

[Kharas] Not sure if typo or not.  duck-frog (aka white duck) If you look at it, it is green with white feathers (wing tips are listed as black-green) but when you hit it you "hit a white ducks brown-feathered body" ???

A Mist-filled Marsh~
Tranquil and quiet, the dark, shallow marsh water continues to the south

and east, remaining relatively clear of plants.  The north and west,

however, is sealed off by sedges which grow tightly together and extend

over ten feet high from the surface of the water.  A breeze sometimes

passes through them and is the only noticeable disturbance here.

1 south 1 east dark shallow marsh water surface~
The water is cool and shallow, a little over two feet deep.  Its dark

color keeps you from seeing anything which may live below its surface.

1 north 1 west sedges~
The sedges have grown over ten feet long.  They've become tightly packed

next to one another.  Their long, spiny leaves extend far across the

north and west of you, filtering the water and preventing anything too

big to cross through it.

A Mist-filled Marsh -- Near the Remains of an Animal~
Massive plants, such as arrowheads and cattails, grow densely together

and seal off travel to the west and south of you.  A small rise in the

soil here reveals the partially buried remains of some four-legged animal. 

The peaty soil has preserved the body well, although a slightly pungent

scent continues to emanate from it.

1 west 1 south massive plants arrowheads cattails~
The pointy-tipped leaves of giant arrowheads extend high into the air. 

Growing closely beside them are various other plants such as cattails,

whose large round brown bulbs near their tops tower over you.  The plants

form a tight barrier to the west and south.

~
E
rise peaty soil~
The rise of soil barely extends several inches above the surface of the

water here.  The soil is solid black, grainy, and very soft to the touch. 

It gives off a slightly unpleasant aroma.

~
E
remains four-legged animal~
Most of the fur of the animal is covered in the black soil.  The creature

resembles a dog-sized rat, but it appears to have a beaver-like tail. 

Its clear white eyes stare blankly into space, and tiny bugs have started

feeding on the remains.  The smell it leaves behind is unpleasant, but

bearable.

Inside a Log~
You are inside an enormous, hollow log, which seems to have sunken only

partially.  The air is extremely moist and thick.  None of the mist which

shrouds the marsh outside seems to be able to penetrate through here. 

Soft, black mud about a few inches deep cover the bottom end of the log. 

Tiny insects scurry along the floor and around the top, oblivious to your

presence.  An opening near the top allows you to leave the log.
