The first boy is still scared. He refuses to speak, simply shaking his head instead and not meeting anybody's eyes. The second boy seems to be fast recovering, though. "I'm Sam. We know the river's dangerous, but that's half the fun, y'know? I mean, it'll be a good story to tell, right? I mean, who else in the village has come that close to certain death? I mean, how fantastic is that? I'll be the talk of the town!" Obviously, now that the danger is gone, the boy feels completely safe and is even proud of the act that he didn't even want to do in the first place.

Penthar Danadin, Aglarondan Griffonrider
Penthar catches out of the corner of his eye his friend Faelar casting a spell. Ah, ever the cautious one he thinks to himself. Still, better to be safe than sorry.
OOC: Penthar takes the opportunity of Zithran speaking with the boys to detect evil. He will center the cone on the children, making sure they are not under the influence of something from the river.

Faelar nods at Penthar, and flicks his eyes towards the water meaningfully.
"So," Faelar speaks up from the background, addressing the boys. "What happens when a boy is dropped in this water?"

The first boy cringes at Faelar's question, but the second boy says, "Well, sir, I guess I don't rightly know. But the grown-ups all say to stay away from it and if you put a stick in it... well, the stick don't come back out!"
Penthar's detect evil reveals that there is indeed an evil presence in the area. Upon further observation, he finds that there is but one aura, and it is a strong one. After about 12 seconds of concentration, it is clear that the river is emanating the strong evil aura.
OOC: In case it isn't clear, each round of a detect spell yields more information so I have split it into three different sections. I assumed you held it for three rounds, but if you don't, then just don't read (or at the very least, pretend that you haven't read =P ) the other sections.

"Is that so?"
Faelar picks up a stick and puts the end of it into the water.

There is a small hissing noise as the stick enters the black liquid, which can hardly be called "water." Tiny bubbles rise to the surface. The stick feels lighter in Faelar's hands. When he pulls it out, all that remains is what never touched the "water."

"Perhaps we should turn someone into a toad," the mage growled. He waved his hands dramatically and glowered down at the boys. "And see how they like the water?"

Penthar is a bit wrapped up in his own thoughts to notice Faelar extend the stick into the water, but when he brings it back up, Penthar is staring at the stick. "Be careful, all. In addition to being able to destroy, the river is also eminating a strong evil aura. I would recommend we steer clear of it." Penthar turns back to the boys. "You too were lucky. That river could have seriously hurt you. Be sure to steer clear of it in the future"
