# Hither One of the areas of [[Prismeer]] where [[Bavlorna Blightstraw]] resides. ## Map ```leaflet id: hither image: hither.jpg height: 450px minZoom: 6 maxZoom: 10 defaultZoom: 7 zoomDelta: 1 unit: feet scale: 1 ``` ```ad-info title: Description of Hither You stand at the edge of a raised and broken causeway under a hazy, twilit sky. The causeway, which is built from pale stones that glow faintly from within, towers over the surrounding landscape, but large sections of it have crumbled away. The parts that remain in place are separated by large gaps where portions have collapsed. A fog-shrouded swamp spreads out below you in all directions, and up from its murk wafts the smell of rotting plants. Also rising from the swamp is the music of nature—a discordant symphony of croaking frogs and singing birds. ``` ## Locations in Hither ### Queen's Way [[Hither#Map|Back to map]] - 20 feet wide and 100 feet above the swamp - Large, colourful mushrooms - 10-foot-thick blanket of fog that heavily obscures all creatures inside it - Handholds, footholds, shelf mushrooms can be used to descend with DC 13 Athletics check. ### Slanty Tower [[Hither#Map|Back to map]] ### Telemy Hill [[Hither#Map|Back to map]] ### Brigands' Tollway [[Hither#Map|Back to map]] ```ad-info title: Description A foggy marsh stretches out before you. Rickety causeways made of wooden planks form a wide, web-like structure above the bog. Three hundred feet away, many of these causeways converge on an enormous, ivy-covered tree stump that rises a good ten feet above the twenty-foot-high fog bank that enshrouds it. ``` Meeting Agdon: ```ad-info title: Agdon's entrance An odd feeling suddenly comes over you as you become aware that somewhere along the way, a hunched, hooded figure has joined the group. ``` ```encounter name: Encounter players: - Boris - Ora - Lira - Flint - Jamedi creatures: - Agdon Longscarf - 4: Harengon Brigand ``` ### Downfall [[Hither#Map|Back to map]] ## Secrets and Clues in Hither ## Encounters ### Low Tide | Roll | Encounter | | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1 | Encounter with [harengon brigands](https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/twbtw/hither#ReachingtheBottom).
