The sky begins to darken slowly as everyone realizes how tired they are, the twilit sky becoming night as the discussions and arguments continue. When Zavakri begins crying, the party would feel rain begin to fall on them. The rain is not heavy enough to seriously drench the party and prevent them from going to sleep, but it is enough to really compound the feelings of sadness and melancholy that are now present in the group. The rain will not let up until the party calms down and recovers from this sadness. 

As Brutrumukk leaves to go find a place to rest, he notices that there is now a nearby stone that has a frowning face made of cracks in the stone. Zavakri notices, as she curls in on herself, that there are thorns growing next to her that weren't there before. 

[hider=Highest Passive Perception (Aurora) Only]In the middle of their rest, Aurora sees something during her watch or after her 4 hours of rest. 

In the distant sky, she spots a great balloon made of patchwork material. It spins out of control as though punctured, causing the wicker basket that hangs from it to swing wildly. She can hear the distant sound of screaming coming from it. The balloon plunges out of sight, disappearing into the fog approximately a mile away.[/hider]

The rest passes by quietly for the party. When they wake, they will be well rested and ready for this swamp and its unknown dangers.
