"Last chance," the driver mutters. "I'm leaving now, and it's up to you whether you come with me."

You've survived a grueling four-day carriage ride to the edge of a filthy swamp, just to wait another three hours for a barge to take you to the marginally-less-filthy barracks that you'll be living in for the next six months.
And it's not as if you'll really be able to rest in those barracks. Thankfully, as a new recruit, you won't see combat duty unless there's an emergency. But you'll still be living in a warzone, and a warzone filled with ferocious swamp-beasts at that.
The smell alone gives you plenty of cause for regret. You thought all the stories were exaggerating the stench, but if anything, they were understating its potency.
You consider telling the carriage driver to take you back. Indeed, he looks like he's expecting you to ask him at any minute. He's made it quite clear that he doesn't think you have what it takes to last here, and frankly, you have to admit he has a point.
But you also know that you can't turn back. You came here for a reason, after all.
Why have you come to this swamp?

Which this post passes!
This post passes all rules!
RE: Post making contest - Dragon Fogel - 05-20-2016
Rule 1: Must quote a post from outside of the thread. Post content may or may not be edited, but the post link has to go outside of the post-making thread.
Rule 2: Post must contain a seventeen-syllable sentence. If the sentence is presented as a three-line haiku, it counts as a single sentence if there are no periods, question marks, or exclamation marks in the middle of it. Can be either quoted or non-quoted.
Made some judgement calls here, and counting syllables got tedious at times, but the success of actual haiku was enough for you to work with.
Rule 3: Post must include quoted text and non-quoted text with at least one word in common between both sets of text. Multiple quotes count as one set for what's in "quoted".
An edge case that came up: Numerals and written forms of the same number count as the same word. So, when Akumu asked about "two or three syllables" and Shredded quoted that and said "3", I decided to count that as a rule 3 pass; there were no other words in common.
Rule 4: Non-quoted text must not exceed 140 characters. I've had a Twitter tab open pretty much this whole time for cases when I couldn't check at a glance.
Rule 5: Post must include the title of one of my adventures on this forum, by which I mean "adventures where I have the opening post".
Initially I was thinking "any adventure", but there were too many to check, so I narrowed it down to just mine. (Although Space Consortium would easily pass if I had gone for the broader rule.)
List of titles I accepted, in the order they came up at the time I searched for them:
That's 30 adventures! Wow, I started a lot of those.
