I am a wandering ranger and gatherer, traveling the various lands inside of the Great Seal. This encounter happened while I was finding a suitable pond to attempt to fish for my evening meal. Just before I could approach the shoreline, I noticed a small group of bipedal creatures that I could only describe as marsh creatures, rapidly emerge from the water, and charge up the shoreline on the opposite side of where I was located. I saw that the object of their attention was an equally-sized group of Blue Raiders. The battle was fierce, as the marsh creatures seemed to almost overrun their opponents, but the raiders seemed to have something that the marsh creatures did not, individuals with the ability to magically heal their compatriots. This ended up with the raiders slaughtering the enemy to the very last of their number. It is to be noted in this fight, that had the raiders not had a healer with them, it may have gone very badly for them. These marsh creatures are definitely a hostile encounter that should be approached with extreme caution, if at all. Should you be in the area, and you see these aquatic threats, it is probably best you go the other way.
Until my next entry, may your path traveled be safe and if needed, may your arrows always strike true.
