Smothering a chuckle at the dripping blue thing, Tark knelt down at the edge of the riverbank.

Fast moving current, Tark thought to himself as he picked up a fallen branch and tossed it into the river.

But not so fast as to render fording impossible, he concluded, watching the branch bob in the water.

Taking a breath, Tark planted the end of his poleax into the riverbed and started making his way across.

Kikli displays a comforting smile because of Kiksu's words, although he still felt uncomfortable about the situation. While he goes for a dip Kikli pulls out his climbing gear and makes sure his equipment is secure.

Can't let fear of drowning deter from our goal, unacceptable. Plus I have a plan, excellent safe plan. He says nervously, tying one end of the synthetic cable around a nearby tree, not aware Tark already began making his way through the river.

Ketta climbs back onshore and gives quick shake which splatters water around him in a small spray. His jumper gear clothing now heavily clinging to his tiny wet body sags off his frame. He tighten the straps of his backpack down, wringing them out in the process, and dribbling water down the front of his pants. He twists around and fiddles with the large blaster hanging from his waist band which has been dragging in the muddy soil since he climbed out of the water. He picks the front of the weapon up and tucks it under the rear of the backpack and tromps back towards the rope bridge.

good, nice and cool. He mutters to himself.

I'll get it this time for sure... just didn't want to make a bad impression

Ketta strolls across the swaying creaking bridge, placing one small foot in front of the other, his hands held out away from his body ready to grab the rope hand rails should his footing falter. His hands don't actually reach the outer ropes, but it ends up not being necessary and his tiny feet pitter patter across the rope with grace and elegance until he glides into the grass on the other side if the water.

His arms return to their sides and he wriggles his shoulders against the tight backpack as he looks for his squadmates without even the slightest air of pridefulness.

OOC:
I think that Triumph you rolled should yield an 18 inch fish that has taken the handle of your axe as bait and refused to let go. So when you bring it out of the water on the other side you see it chomped onto the handle wiggling back and forth, it's tail flailing in the air.

Caution payed off Tark pondered as he shook his legs of water.

Turning to face the rest of the group still on the other side, he hollered to them, "I managed to find a high path, follow where I walked.
OOC:
preferably reducing the difficulty of fording from 3 to 2, if that's too much then a boost to everyone who doesn't take the bridge.

With Tark's methodical fording of the river, a small ridge had been found in the middle of the water. Those who made their way across that part of the river could avoid the harshest currents.
OOC:
Thanks to Tark's Triumph, the river crossing difficulty is now average. However, since that seems like a lot for a triumph, I'm going to add a setback die since now those who cross the river have to do a little bit of balancing to stay on the ridge. So now, both options of crossing the river are the same difficulty. It all depends on whether you wish to use Athletics or Coordination.

Please wait for me! Kikli shouts out as he attaches the rope to his belt. Walking up to the bridge he takes a breath and begins to slowly make his way across the creaking bridge.
OOC:
I'm hoping using the climbing gear gets rid of the setback die and could be used in case he takes a plunge. Let me know if I should keep the setback.

After watching Kikli make it safely across the bridge, Zom steels himself and shouts out across the river. Hey Tark, if this bridge breaks I'm jumping off your way! Keep that axe ready!

He crosses slowly at first, anxiously eyeing the rushing waters below. The bridge turns out to be easier to cross than expected, and Zom feels empowered by facing danger.
OOC:
I'll use the 2 advantage to recover strain.

Since when was there a red in the roll to cross the river?

OOC:
None to ford the river. One to cross the bridge since it was rickety.

I didn't see that for my rolls, do I need to reroll?

I'll let it pass. You already fell in the water anyway. ;-)

Holstering his pistols, Rokarr heads for the bridge. "This dog is planning staying dry today, lads."

Rokar takes one strain as the rickety bridge is slightly unnerving.

With the river behind them and the party in decent shape (more or less), the scouts push forward into the trees. Small rocks begin to protrude from the ground at regular intervals. While not apparent to the untrained eye, Kikli and Zom could tell that these rocks were not put there by nature. While these rocks could have many uses, it becomes quickly obvious to the entire party that these rocks marked a path when they straddled a nasty-looking grove of prickly bushes on the left and a sheer wall of stone on the right.

OOC:
Do wee need to make a choice or is the rock outcropping leading between these two obstacles?
May 7, 2018 7:06 pm
OOC:
They are leading between the brambles and the wall of stone.
