You probably discussed the issue from Sog City to the Swamp. Also the approach has been mentioned: - - - Karala bowed to Icthya, "you have great power, I would wish that we share some mushrooms and talk of Things, when a chance come our way". She then turned to the rest of the party, "Be ready, my friends, the Nameless One approaches - I know not what lies in its heart.." - - - --- Nic Hughes <A class=moz-txt-link-rfc2396E

The alternative is that nobody wanted to raise the subject until we were standing in the middle of the bog, which seems unlikely as we have some talkative and opinionated characters. Also, has anyone actually mentioned that anything is coming? If they have I missed it. If not then quite a few of us are going to be taken unawares by his arrival.
