About mid-day, just as the heat and humidity are beginning to take their toll, you come across the day's first serious impediment to your course. A huge sprawl of thorny vines has overgrown the river banks, presenting a seven-foot-tall wall of green leaves and intimidating six-inch red thorns. The stream at this point flows through a ravine; avoiding this hazard would mean either climbing the walls of the ravine or backtracking about a mile (which would prevent you from reaching the cove you're aiming for before dark).(Pause here for dice rolling . . . done.)None of you recognizes the type of vine, and it looks like the best course would be to go around in spite of the considerable delay.</blockquote>
