Loklafd led the way past the shipworks, through the River Gate, and down the bank to a small community that lived outside the town walls. The riverfolk were friendly, and it was obvious that many of them knew Loklafd, as the big northman waved and nodded to them as he made his way to his stash of kayaks.Pulling a dirty but beautifully woven wool blanket aside, Loklafd revealed a set of five kayaks - unusual boats to the eyes of those living this far to the south. They were a light wooden frame wrapped in water-tight seal-skin. Each was comfortable for two paddlers with gear stowed between them, and the group quickly worked out, with Loklafd's advice, how best to arrange each man, woman, pack, and undead guardsman.Carrying the kayaks down to the river, the group manned their paddles and set out, soon passing under Tyndall's Bridge, which spanned the shallow ford that gave the town its name: Daggerford. The river ran slow and deep on either side of the ford - deep enough for much larger watercraft than the kayaks, but the ford itself made it impossible for large craft to travel the whole length of the Shining River.It did not take long before the paddlers got the hang of the unusual boats, and they headed west at a comfortable pace, dipping their paddles steadily.</blockquote>
