Rovan's Boatride (IDLE)

The boat is like any other designed to move cargo on a larger river. Low, wide, and filled with boxes, bundles, and people both crew and passenger. You happen to be one of the latter though the crew tend to treat you more like cargo. You have been aboard for three days now and should reach port sometime tomorrow. The captain of the boat, a rough no nonsense though fair man, has told you to rest up as the boat will pass into inhospitable waters later today. There are a couple of other adventurers onboard and are expected to take turns on watch starting tonight and throughout the morrow till you reach your destination.

The boat is manned by the captain and 4 large and burly men. One appears to be an have orc blood but doesn't talk much so you are not sure. The two other adventurers are Garic, a goblin warrior who has dream, and an ego, much larger than himself but is a easy going and likable fellow. The other is Sellene, and elf mage of some sorts. She is very private and does not seem to fit the mold of a typical adventurer but has been lumped in with Garic and yourself by captain Helgar.
The river, never small since you got on the boat, is getting wider and slower which is part of the problem. Captain Helgar says that some of the troubles come from the unusual wildlife which can be quite large, even larger than the boat according to the captain. This is only his 2nd run so he is not too familiar with all the eddies and currents of the river so has been putting in every night. However according to Helgar the river is so simple and the danger on shore greater that he does not plan to stop this night. He says the other boat captains have said this is safe as long as there is some moonlight to steer by.

The river at this point varies is width but has been getting steadily wider and slower with the crew spending more effort speeding it along than pushing off of rocks and steering. Now well over 50' wide at its narrowest and getting over 100' by tomorrow it takes little for ever one of the crew to keep it safe and in the main current.

Here is a basic "map" of the boat. These are quick and simple enough to edit that they are used for in game mapping.
