Blackwater Swamp
  The surrounding area looks dead with twisted trees as you hear the sounds of
an owl hooting in the wind. All around you see the calm black waters of the
swamp. The air reeks of a smell that is pungent and sharp which is quite
unpleasant. You see long green vines hanging off of tree limbs reaching down to
the surface of the water. You hear the sounds of crickets singing in the air
around you. The surface of the water reflects the light of the stars in the
night sky.
