The problem is that due to the current hurricane-like weather conditions, the local authorities have closed the bridge down to all traffic.I had originally planned for a neat encounter where the PCs have to sneak/bluff their way past the guards at their end and then try to cross the bridge while avoiding flying debris and strong winds trying to push them off.The problem is that one of my players said "Hey! We can just use my Quaal's Feather Token: Swan Boat to sail across the water.Now, I don't want to just stomp my foot down and say "No! You can't use the boat - the river is too stormy for a boat to handle, or guards stop you.." or whatever. On the other hand, I also do not want to just hand wave the whole thing and say "You sail across no problem"So, I'm hoping people here can help me come up with a different "cross-the-river" encounter, using the boat.In case it is useful, the party is 3rd level (using the Pathfinder RPG) and made up of:A monkA rogueA sorcererA druidA Paladin/MonkThe original bridge encounter was around CR 4. This swan boat encounter can be around CR 3 since I don't mind giving the party a break since they did happen to be clever enough to have and use the right tool for the job.Thanks.</blockquote>
