Here is the Boot-Suck Bog. The
first stage of the scripted interaction involves trying to get past the
bog itself.
Getting through involves a Survival check of 19 by a party member you
select. You can proceed to the next part of the scripted interaction if
you make this check.
If you select a character other than the Watcher and that character
fails the Survival check, that character starts to sink. Another
character you select can make an Athletics check of 18 to safely extract
the sinking character. Failing that Athletics check means you still get
the character out safely, but he or she will now have the Fatigued (-5
Accuracy, -10 all Defenses, -15% Maximum Health) Injury. If you don't
designate a character to help the sinking character, the sinking
character has to make an Athletics check of 7 to get him or herself out.
If the character fails that check, the character drowns and dies
permanently.
If the Watcher fails the Survival check, the Watcher also automatically
attempts the Athletics check of 7 to get him or herself out. If that
Athletics check fails, the companion or sidekick with the highest
Athletics rank will attempt a rescue. If that Athletics check of 18
fails, you still get extracted to safety but the Watcher now suffers the
Fatigued Injury.
Choosing the "Press On" option leads to the next part of the
interaction, which involves an encounter with several Bog Wanderers and
Bog Lurkers. They'll demand that you leave the way you came, unless the
Watcher is a Nature Godlike. In that instance, their leader will
willingly give you a Ring of Greater
Regeneration.
A Diplomacy check of 17 is the other way to avoid a fight with the Bog
Wanderers, although that means you won't get the Ring
of Greater Regeneration.
The Clever dialogue option, the attack option, or failing the
Diplomacy check, will all lead to a fight with the
Bog Wanderers and Bog Lurkers. Their equipment includes Superb
armors and weapons, as well as the Ring
of Greater Regeneration.
