Lastlook: Entering the River

[ruin_mania]

[For the past day or so, it's pretty clear the Amber Steppe has been left behind and the Totem Coast is getting closer. The air is more humid and the undergrowth has gone from a burnt amber color to be thicker, greender, and almost bordering on jungle-like. Several other streams have joined the one that the explorers have been following until it's almost large enough to start sailing on. Raine had encouraged everyone to press on, though, not sure it was time just yet (and also because she doesn't particularly like boats, okay). The cliffs around them start to grow up as well, and it probably won't be too long before the jungle becomes a properly impassable one, leaving the river as the only choice.

But this morning, another large stream had joined up with their and now it was more like a proper river. In the late morning they reach a large pier with five boats. The river also begins to take a higher road from here downstream, while the jungle starts to clog the lower road. Looks like it won't be too much longer before they're in the very painting that led them here. It's time to investigate those boats - and unload the smaller onces Percy Jackson has packed. And if you don't trust either of these, there are some inflatable rafts that Raine has packed as well.

So let's load up, and they'll be on the water by the afternoon!]

[Flynn walks over, hands in his pockets]

What've you got there?

[waterproofed]

My boats. They're a little small so I guess they can carry supplies if people want to ride the bigger ones. As long as they're used somehow.

[messin_with_my_zen_thing]

[he smiles, looking them over]

That's a good idea. If we can carry the supplies in other boats that'll leave room in the larger rooms for everyone.

[waterproofed]

I'll drive the boats, of course.

[messin_with_my_zen_thing]

Oh of course. I'd say that's certainly fair since they're yours and all.

[waterproofed]

The supplies would be in the safest hands.

[messin_with_my_zen_thing]

I believe it. [He holds out a hand] Kevin Flynn, by the way.

[waterproofed]

[messin_with_my_zen_thing]

It's a pleasure to meet you, too, Percy.

[he shakes that hand, smiling]
