Binky and the Staring Skulls of sakati

into The Riezpudden Swamp

The Riezpudden Swamp lies at the southern end of Lake Albert where a river empties from the lake - the locals call it the Rillimuddi though the map makers will re-name it when they eventually get here. The swamp, at this time of the year is more water than mud and so Binky hired six native canoes to traverse the swamp. He chose to travel by night to avoid prying eyes and the evil humours of the midday sun on the rotting vegetation in the swamp. Piet, using his navigation skills, would keep the canoes on course. Fighting men and loads were distributed throughout the canoes and the intention was to cross the swamp as quickly as possible.
