First Post
Bragon slowly walks over to Ulfgar and Nado. "I think I may have seen something following us along the river bank. It may be nothing but you may want to be alert all the same." Bragon walks back to his seat and slowly resumes sharpening his long sword.

An hour passes under the the boughs of the river trees, but you see no other sign of being watched or followed. Nonetheless, your unease has continued to grow. The shadows have grown deeper and you have only two or three more hours of sunlight.
Fintain glances over the bow and sees large rocks poking above the surface of the river. These become more frequent as the river begins to curve and wind, and the boat is squeezed between the high banks of the wooded shores. The boat lurches from side to side and plummets a few feet when it slips over small waterfalls. The Janek grows louder, and its hiss fills the air like the blue and white explosions that burst against the hull. The horses tied beneath the centre canopy lurch and neigh loudly, their hoofs loud and abrasive against the deck.
(OOC: The navigator, a guardsman named Sammal needs to make a successful Wilderness Lore check to navigate the direct the crew and passengers safely through the rocks.. He gets +1. I'll let Ulfghar make the role.)

Sammal's commands and control of the tiller seems to have helped guide the riverboat through the worst of the rapids. Gradually as the minutes pass, the river's course becomes calm again and you are surrounded by the quiet murmer of the river and the dense woods to either side.
Night is fast approaching and Sammal informs Preda that they will have to land the boat ashore during the night. It will be too difficult and dangerous to navigate the river in the dark, even with the moonlight.
"Truthfully, the thought of making landfall here holds more unease than risking the river," replies Nado. His eyes have rarely strayed from the riverbanks and the deep undergrowth along their edges.
"Heh. Fear not southerner, I will make a prayer to the Bright Shield to watch over your hair-charms," says Kuik with a laugh,"Though I don't remember the last time he payed attention," he adds.
"Well and good, master Kuik. While you commune, you might also ask him where he's misplaced your sense," grins Nado grimly.
Kuik merely shrugs, departing for the front of the boat.
Saufgad speaks up, his voice low,"I think it best to heed Sammal's words your Lady. To have the boat ruined on a rock in the dark would be disastrous." His long dark hair hangs loosely about his fur cap. His face appears more elongated and sallow than it usually does.
For the first time, Preda looks indecisive. She gazes to the shore and then at each of you.
