Merry blacks out for a second, but thanks Jessica for the healing. "Stars above, my thanks." He looks around for where the wizard might be, but can't see him, so he reaches for his little baggie of talc and powdered silver. "Ortano Fordijimon," he invokes, and his eyes glow faintly. If he can see the wizard, he'll point him out to the others.

Finally, almost blissfully, Merry fades into etherealness. "About frackin' ti-" is all you hear.

You've been pursuing the notorious guerilla warrior known only as "Grey Robin" for days. Finally, you've run him to ground - or he has chosen to show himself to you. You're in the Grey Marshes, an area with dense, winding streams, stands of cat-tails, and brush and briars...but no trees.

Sight lines are clear, but there are large patches of thick underbrush (green) that are difficult terrain. The brush offers partial cover (+2 AC & Dex saves), but only offers total cover if someone is prone behind/in it.
He starts 550’ from the party.
