[sblock=Aodhán/Harnry]A tall, gaunt man with ashen skin and glowing brick red eyes appears at the base of the bridge as you stand there speaking. His appearance is sudden, as though he stepped from behind a fold in the very air. The disembodied head you spoke with before is floating a couple of paces behind him, over his right shoulder.
"Gentlemen, it warms my heart that you've decided to avail yourselves of my bridge. For a paltry sum of 20 gold you may cross to the other side of this lovely river. Further, that sum guarantees you the use of this bridge until sunset of this day."[/sblock]
[sblock=Houwlou, Keeland, Tsadok]Anyone else got a rope? 50' might be long enough if one of you wades out a little and holds the end . . .
There is plenty of scrub to tie off on either side of the river.[/sblock]
