Part I


The Mighty Nein are rowing down the stream, coming to smaller gaps every few miles in which the boat containing Yasha, Nott & Caleb pulls ahead in a friendly race. Througout the journey Jester fantizises about Tusk Love.

After Nott's attempt at using the Ring of Water Walking doesn't go well and she gets helped back into the boat by Caleb but is then attacked by several Darkmantle's which are dispatched quickly. Some of the party then notice two Rock Monsters from opposite sides of the river they are rowing down. After much consideration the party decides to leave the Rock Monsters (most likely Ropers) and row on ahead of them.
